Industrial door motor replacement in Haverhill

In short

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Haverhill site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Haverhill
Postcode district: CB9
Area: Suffolk
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.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

What this work can involve

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Haverhill

Haverhill 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

Service and repair visits in Haverhill are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
