Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, a supplier of door solutions, has introduced an automatic door for refrigerated trucks and trailers, according to a press release.

The door electronically senses the presence of workers and cargo passing through, and quickly closes once the passage is clear. The door will help streamline the food delivery process and ensure a constant temperature and humidity barrier for reefer interiors.

The door provides temperature control, food chain security and fuel savings.

The system comes with its own plug-and-play modular wiring harness kit, and all cables and connectors remain accessible at the point of use for easy service and maintenance.

A red LED light strip is mounted on both sides of the interior door frame and remains on when the door is closed to provide worker orientation in low-light conditions. The lights turn off when the door is open and begin flashing to signal when it is preparing to close.

The door's closing cycles can be custom-programmed between 0 and 90 seconds. Once closed, the secure barrier only opens for authorized personnel to prevent theft and potential adulteration.
