Options that matter on site
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- 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.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Powered door rules that apply in Bath
Bath 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
Sites in and around Bath 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.
