What we fit in York
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Powered door rules that apply in York
York 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
Sites in and around York vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
