High-speed doors in Poole

The short version

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Poole. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Poole
Postcode district: BH15
Area: Dorset
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
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.

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.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Poole 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Dorset 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.

Questions from businesses in Poole

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Poole premises have?

Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Poole?

A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
