High-speed doors in Skelmersdale

The short version

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Skelmersdale. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Skelmersdale
Postcode district: WN8
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Skelmersdale 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
