Industrial door motor replacement in Dukinfield

At a glance

When the original motor on a door in Dukinfield (SK16) is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with the adapters it needs, set new limits and test closing forces before handover.

Town: Dukinfield
Postcode district: SK16
Area: Greater Manchester
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

Examples of work we can quote for

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Dukinfield

Dukinfield 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
