The short version
Is a busy door at your Peterlee 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 Peterlee
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Peterlee?
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
Sites in and around Peterlee 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.
