Quick answer
Is a busy door at your Northwich premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

What to specify
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
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.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Northwich?
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
Most installations in Northwich 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.
