5 m/s — Europe's Fastest Industrial Door

The NOVOSPRINT® reaches an opening speed of up to 5 m/s — the fastest industrial door available. The lateral (side-opening) mechanism means the full passage height is immediately available, with both door leaves rolling simultaneously to compact profiles at each side. Closing speed up to 2.5 m/s with integrated light curtain option.

Collision Damage Virtually Eliminated

The horizontal opening principle means the door leaves open to the sides, not upward into the forklift travel zone. Door-to-floor contact is eliminated. Spring-force opening means the door can open even without power. The full passage height is available immediately — the #1 cause of collision damage in conventional vertical rapid doors is removed entirely.

TÜV SÜD Certified Escape Route Door

Spring-force opening is independent of the power supply — making the NOVOSPRINT® TÜV SÜD certified for use as an escape and emergency route door. Trigger for emergency opening is a certified failsafe radar motion detector. Compliance with DGUV German Social Accident Insurance requirements verified independently.

5 m/s — Europe's Fastest Industrial Door

The Butzbach NOVOSPRINT® is Europe’s fastest industrial door — a side-opening high-speed door manufactured in Germany since 1953 by Butzbach GmbH, the company that invented the lateral-opening rapid door mechanism. Where every other rapid door in common use opens by lifting the door leaf vertically into the headspace above the opening, the NOVOSPRINT® opens both leaves simultaneously to either side — clearing the full passage height instantly, with no door material entering the forklift travel zone at any point in the operation.

This single engineering decision — horizontal rather than vertical movement — produces consequences that affect every operational and safety outcome. Collision damage, which is the leading cost driver in conventional vertical rapid door installations, is virtually eliminated. TÜV SÜD certification as an escape and emergency route door becomes achievable. Opening speeds of up to 5 m/s become safe. The NOVOSPRINT® is not a faster version of a conventional rapid door — it is a different solution to the same problem, and in high-frequency applications, it is a superior one.
