High-speed doors in Kingswood

The short version

Is a busy door at your Kingswood 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.

Town: Kingswood
Postcode district: BS15
Area: Gloucestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.

Jobs we can carry out

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Powered door rules that apply in Kingswood

Kingswood is in England, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Kingswood can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Kingswood

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Kingswood 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.

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Kingswood?

Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Kingswood site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.
