High-speed doors in Elgin

At a glance

Is a busy door at your Elgin 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: Elgin
Postcode district: IV30
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Elgin 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
