High-speed doors in Cambridge

In short

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Cambridge. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Cambridge
Postcode district: CB1
Area: Cambridgeshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

What this work can involve

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

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

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 Cambridge 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.
