Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Oldham

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.

Examples of work we can quote for

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Powered door rules that apply in Oldham

Oldham 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.
