Options that matter on site
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
What this work can involve
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Powered door rules that apply in Halesowen
Halesowen 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.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
