Options for hangar and large-span doors in Catford
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Powered door rules that apply in Catford
Catford 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
