Options that matter on site

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
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 Eccles

Eccles 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Eccles 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.
