Options that matter on site
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
What this work can involve
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Powered door rules that apply in Forth Valley
Forth Valley is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
