Options that matter on site

Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.

Typical scopes of work

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Powered door rules that apply in Milford Haven

Milford Haven is in Wales, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
