What we fit in Hammersmith

Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.

Examples of work we can quote for

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Powered door rules that apply in Hammersmith

Hammersmith is in England, 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

Sites in and around Hammersmith vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
