Options that matter on site

Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.

What this work can involve

Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Altrincham 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Altrincham

Which traffic door material suits our Altrincham site?

Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Altrincham 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 Altrincham 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.
