Banks Cold Storage Performance Upgrade
Eliminating Icing and Downtime in a High‑Cycle Freezer Environment: Banks Cold Storage is a full service, public refrigerated warehouse company with operations in 9 southeastern locations.
Project Challenge: Reliable Door Performance for Large Freezer Openings
Banks Cold Storage operates a high‑volume frozen warehouse facility in Georgia, USA, with freezer door openings reaching up to 23 feet in height and constant forklift traffic between dock and freezer environments. The original high‑speed doors, installed during construction, failed to perform reliably in this extreme application. Ongoing icing, frequent downtime, and increased maintenance disrupted warehouse workflows and created operational inefficiencies.
Banks required a freezer door solution capable of high‑cycle operation, effective insulation, and consistent performance without icing.
Solution Design: Auto Mossa High‑Speed Cold Storage Door
Commercial Dock and Door introduced Banks Cold Storage to the Auto Mossa High‑Speed Cold Storage Door, engineered specifically for extreme freezer environments.
A single Auto Mossa door was installed as a pilot to validate performance before committing to a wider rollout. Key requirements included fast opening speeds to reduce air loss, effective insulation, resistance to icing, and the ability to withstand frequent forklift impacts.
Auto Mossa’s true auto‑reset functionality and roll‑strip curtain design ensured the door could recover quickly after impacts while maintaining long‑term durability.
Benefits Delivered: Zero Downtime, No Icing, Proven Reliability
After six months of operation and more than 100,000 cycles, the Auto Mossa door demonstrated consistent performance:
- No downtime
- No icing
- No visible wear or degradation
- Performance consistent from installation
Based on the results of the pilot installation, Banks Cold Storage replaced six additional freezer doors at the Georgia facility with Auto Mossa High‑Speed Cold Storage Doors.

“We started with one door to see if Auto Mossa’s performance claims were true. They claimed to have the best insulation, true auto reset when the door is hit and roll strips that keep the insulation from compressing and the door from wearing. The door has been operating for 6 months and 100,000 cycles and we have had no downtime, no icing, and it looks the same as the day it was installed”.
