Options for impact traffic doors in Southport
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- 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.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Southport 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Southport 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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Which traffic door material suits our Southport 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 Southport 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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Southport?
A pair of traffic doors usually takes a few hours to fit once made to size. Work can often be done between shifts or outside opening hours, so normal operations are barely affected.
