High-speed doors in Dorset

In short

Is a busy door at your Dorset 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.

Options for high-speed doors in Dorset

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Dorset are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the South West the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
