Options for hangar and large-span doors in Greater Manchester

Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

What this work can involve

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Powered door rules that apply in Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester 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

Most installations in Greater Manchester can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
