Options that matter on site
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Powered door rules that apply in Wallasey
Wallasey 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.
How the work is organised
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
