Options for high-speed doors in Burgess Hill

Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Burgess Hill?

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Burgess Hill premises have?

Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Burgess Hill?

Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Burgess Hill site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.
