Door automation and controls in Llanelli

In short

Tired of hand-chaining a heavy door open at your Llanelli unit? A manual-to-electric conversion saves time every shift, and we handle the safety devices and conformity paperwork that come with it.

Town: Llanelli
Postcode district: SA15
Area: Dyfed
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

What this work can involve

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Llanelli are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Llanelli

Do automated doors in Llanelli need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Dyfed?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Dyfed, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Which activation would suit our Llanelli site?

It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
