Options for high-speed doors in Cumbria

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

Powered door rules that apply in Cumbria

Cumbria 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Cumbria 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.
