Options for hangar and large-span doors in Ilkeston

Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

What this work can involve

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Powered door rules that apply in Ilkeston

Ilkeston 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.
