In short
Is a busy door at your Chesterfield 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
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
What this work can involve
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Powered door rules that apply in Chesterfield
Chesterfield 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
