Options for cold store and freezer doors in the Highlands and Islands

Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.

What this work can involve

Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.

Powered door rules that apply in the Highlands and Islands

The Highlands and Islands is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
