Overview
The SectionPro S40 is the classic industrial door done properly: a sectional overhead door that slides vertically and parks horizontally under the ceiling, leaving the opening fully clear and the floor space in front of the door usable. The 40 mm CFC-free polyurethane sandwich panels insulate the opening while the galvanised steel faces — available in RAL colours — stand up to industrial service.
Sectional doors earn their place where openings are large and the door must be robust, secure and insulating at once: loading bays, warehouses, workshops and fire-station-style appliance bays. The S40 covers clear openings up to 6000 mm wide and 5500 mm high. Operation ranges from manual and chain-hoist through to fully automatic shaft or torsion drives with remote, push-button or induction-loop activation.
Egis supplies the S40 with the safety package the application demands: anti-fall devices, finger-trap-protected panel joints, and safety edges on automatic versions. As with every Egis industrial door, it arrives as a complete system — panels, track, hardware, drive and controls — installed and commissioned by one team.
Why sectional geometry wins for large openings
A sectional door's panels travel vertically in the track and then horizontally under the ceiling. Nothing swings out, nothing rolls into a bulky coil above the opening, and the full clear height is available the moment the door is open. For a 5-metre-high loading bay, that geometry is the difference between a usable opening and a compromised one.
The 40 mm sandwich panel is the insulation and strength story in one: two galvanised steel skins bonded to a CFC-free polyurethane core give a rigid, insulating panel that resists both impact and heat transfer. Panel joints are the weak point of cheap sectional doors — the S40's joint profile resists finger trap and maintains the insulation line across the joint.

Typical applications
Loading bays

Cold stores (ambient interface)
Insulated separation where the cold room meets the ambient dock.
FAQs
Sectional door vs rolling shutter — which should I choose?
Choose sectional where insulation, clean appearance and full clear height matter — warehouses, workshops and anywhere the door is part of the building envelope. Choose rolling shutter (see ThermoShutter T90) where maximum security and compact coiling matter more than insulation, e.g. shopfronts and external openings. For speed, choose a high-speed door (RapidRoll R600).
How much headroom does a sectional door need?
The panels park horizontally under the ceiling, so you need headroom roughly equal to the door height plus the track radius — typically 400–550 mm above the opening for standard lift. Low-headroom and vertical-lift track geometries are available for constrained buildings; Egis surveys the structure before specifying.
Are the panels insulated?
Yes — 40 mm sandwich panels with a CFC-free polyurethane core between galvanised steel skins. The door insulates as part of the building envelope, unlike a single-skin shutter.
What safety features are included?
Anti-fall devices that catch the door if a cable or spring fails, finger-trap-protected panel joints, and on automatic versions a safety edge that reverses the door on contact plus the specified activation safety. Spring systems are contained and tensioned by trained installers.
Can the door be automated later?
Yes — the S40 can be supplied manual or chain-hoist now and fitted with a shaft or torsion drive later, provided the track and structure were specified for it. Tell Egis at survey stage if automation is planned.
What maintenance is required?
Annual inspection of springs/cables (tension and wear), rollers and track, panel-joint seals, and safety-device testing. Automatic drives get control and safety-edge checks. A sectional door's springs are consumables with a rated cycle life — Egis sizes them to the site's cycle count.
