What we fit in Widnes
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Widnes workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Widnes 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.

Impact traffic doors in Widnes: your questions
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Cheshire?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Cheshire, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Widnes warehouse?
Generally not. Forklifts are too heavy and fast for most traffic doors and quickly damage the leaves. For forklift routes we would usually recommend a high-speed door or a strip curtain instead.
Will traffic doors in Widnes help keep areas warm or cool?
They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
