Submitted by T Bennett on Fri, 06/30/2023 - 11:35

How much could there possibly be in a set of loading bay doors? The short answer, it turns out, is a lot – especially when you turn to a complete solutions provider like Loading Systems.


While we can design, manufacture, and install industrial doors of many types, great numbers of our customers across the UK and Europe turn, time and time again, to our modular overhead doors as an efficient, reliable, and durable solution.

These are loading bay doors that have benefitted from years of fastidious and well-informed development. It should be unsurprising, then, that our experts in loading bay equipment can devise and build the sectional overhead doors that satisfy your organisation’s most exacting preferences and requirements.

It is specification options like the below that can help ensure the sectional overhead doors you order from us will contribute to operational efficiency and success at your premises, each and every day.

 

Overhead Sectional Doors

 

“Finger-safe” panels

 

This type of door panel profile is designed with a very simple, but important purpose: to guard against the risk of operatives getting their fingers trapped between the panels during the operation of the door. A “finger-safe” design or finger protection device is legally required for overhead doors that have an opening height of up to 2750mm.

 

A broad range of colours

 

Not every decision you make with regard to the specifications of your premises’ overhead sectional loading bay doors will come down to the mundanities of their day-to-day operation. In fact, we can manufacture our panels for these doors in an extensive range of standard colours, and can even fabricate them in nearly any other RAL, BS or NCS colours on request.

 

Extra-large overhead doors

 

On some sites, there will be particularly large openings present, calling for the installation of extra-large overhead doors. Our team also recognises the extremely high demands that can be placed upon the materials and components used in the largest overhead doors. This is why we have these extra-large doors specially constructed, incorporating important elements such as additional reinforcements on the door leaf.

 

Windows

 

Windows on an overhead sectional door can be much more than a mere ‘nice to have’; indeed, they can be crucial for allowing a greater amount of natural light into the internal space, or simply making it easier for those inside to see the outdoor environment. There are various options for double insulated windows that our customers can pick from for their sectional doors from us.

 

Obstacle detection safety device

 

If you are interested in ordering electrically operated overhead doors from us, you might be similarly interested in the option of obstacle detection safety functionality. This device has the task of guarding the underside of the overhead door, and if something or someone is detected as being underneath the door, it can cause the door to automatically stop and return. This can be an excellent safety feature, helping to prevent avoidable damage or injury.

 

The above are just some of the specification options that can be requested by customers of Loading Systems – and whatever your own requirements may be as a would-be purchaser of our loading bay doors or related equipment, our team will carefully listen to them.
