High-speed doors in the West Midlands

Quick answer

Is a busy door at your the West Midlands 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.

Area: West Midlands
Nation: England
Main town: Birmingham
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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 the West Midlands

The West Midlands 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.

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.
