What to specify
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Cheshire?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
