Options for high-speed doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
In Scotland, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.
