Options for high-speed doors in Thornton-Cleveleys

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
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.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.

Typical scopes of work

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Thornton-Cleveleys

Thornton-Cleveleys 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.
