PKD-100s Sliding door system: the solution for every cold storage facility

Today’s challenges: what you need as a cold storage builder

Building a cold storage facility always comes with challenges. A well-designed facility must:

• Guarantee climate control, to protect crops from temperature fluctuations and unwanted airflow.
• Make optimal use of space, allowing your clients to increase storage capacity without requiring extra square metres.
• Be practical and efficient, with smooth-operating doors and a user-friendly design that accommodates heavy machinery.
• Be sustainable and energy-efficient, as clients are increasingly focused on costs and environmental impact.

The PKD-100s sliding door system is designed to tackle these challenges. Here are the five key benefits this system offers to cold storage builders like you.

Key benefits of the PKD-100s sliding door system

Perfect sealing for stable storage

Your clients expect their crops to be stored in a facility where light, air, and temperature fluctuations won’t compromise quality. For products like potatoes, onions, and flower bulbs, this is crucial. The PKD-100s sliding door system provides a reliable solution.

Thanks to the high-quality rubber seal, the sliding door system ensures a perfect closure, maintaining consistent climate conditions inside the cold storage facility. This gives your clients peace of mind and guarantees that you are delivering a solution that meets the highest standards.

Flexibility for every facility

Every cold storage facility is different, and the PKD-100s aluminium sliding door system adapts effortlessly. Its modular design allows multiple doors to be placed side by side, creating a large sliding wall. With a maximum height of 9 metres, high stacks of crates can be easily driven directly into the storage area. This ensures optimal use of space, with facilities filled right to the top.

Whether you’re working on a small storage unit or a large-scale cold storage complex, this sliding door system always provides a custom solution tailored to your client’s needs.

Smooth operation for efficient use

A cold storage facility must be both functional and practical. The aluminium sliding door system features an ingenious floor rail system that is flush with the floor. This allows forklifts and other machinery to move freely without obstructions.

The rail is made of durable Magnelis steel, offering corrosion resistance that is seven times better than galvanised steel. Additionally, the doors are easy to operate manually—no heavy, cumbersome systems, just a user-friendly solution that saves your clients time and effort. For added convenience, an optional integrated pedestrian door allows quick access without opening the entire sliding wall.

Easy installation anywhere you build

The PKD-100s sliding door system is available worldwide and can be delivered as a kit. This makes the installation process straightforward, even in locations outside the UK. Clear manuals and instructional videos ensure your installers can complete the job quickly and efficiently.

With this time-saving design, you can take on more projects and provide the fast service your clients expect.

Unrestricted access and optimised space

The PKD-100s makes optimal use of the available space in any cold storage facility. The modular doors can slide in various directions, allowing quick access to storage areas.

Whether your clients require wide openings, tall stacks of crates, or space for heavy machinery, the PKD-100s is flexible enough to meet all requirements. Its floor-locking system keeps the doors securely closed, providing additional safety.
