Options for hangar and large-span doors in Eccles

Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
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.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

What this work can involve

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eccles?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Eccles vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
