What to specify

Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.

Powered door rules that apply in Canterbury

Canterbury 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

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.

How soon can a sectional door be fitted in Canterbury?
