Options for high-speed doors in Salford

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Salford?

In England, 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 Salford 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.
