When it comes to building door solutions for the Canadian transportation industry, WHITING® Canada is setting standards. As North America’s original roll-up door manufacturer, they recognized early on that truck roll-up doors operate in some of the harshest conditions. Prone to extreme wear and tear on rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks, roll-up doors are opened and closed with every delivery they make. Not to mention the constant banging and clanging of whatever objects pass their way.
That’s why WHITING® Doors are designed to be durable and long-lasting. If you want to reduce the amount of downtime required for the maintenance and repair of your roll-up door, then keep reading! In this article, we share a few ways to keep you and your truck on the road, not in the shop.

It is widely known that Whiting Door Manufacturing launched the first practical roll-up door for trucks and trailers in 1953. It is not as well known that Whiting’s Met L Wood laminates division is one of the largest suppliers of swing doors in the truck and trailer industry.
These two operations, along with Whiting’s global network of licensees, make Whiting the largest manufacturer of truck and trailer doors in the world. This blog will quickly cover the differences between swing doors and roll-up doors.
Whiting Door introduced the first practical overhead style roll-up door to the North American truck and trailer market in the early 1950s. Aluminum shutter-style roll-up doors first appeared in the European emergency vehicle market decades ago and quickly achieved widespread market adoption. Shutter-style doors did not appear in North America until the 1980s and saw very slow adoption rates. Traditional markets such as the fire service can be very slow to adopt new technologies. Early detractors felt that shutter-style doors were prone to several issues, including leakage, jamming and simply occupying too much space. Over the years, market competition has led to significant improvements in addressing these objections. In general, the advantages of shutter doors can be wrapped up into 4 categories: Safety, efficiency, reduced propensity for damage, and weight savings.
