Options for high-speed doors in Loughton
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
What this work can involve
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Loughton 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
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.
