Industrial doors are generally larger and hardier than the standard range of commercial roller shutters. These are used extensively on larger industrial applications such as warehouses, manufacturing depots, ports, airports, recycling, and storage facilities.
The range includes:
Manufactured from galvanized steel dome lath sections as standard or double skinned insulated laths for a more robust shutter / larger opening.
1-phase or 3-phase direct drive or chain drive motor is positioned at the top of the door which powers all of the mechanical components.
The roller assembly is a steel tube fitted at both sides of the end plate which is used to hold the shutter curtain. The curtain rolls around the barrel assembly when in use.
The “U” shaped vertical sections are located at the sides of the door allowing the curtain to travel up and down smoothly and securely. These come in a range of depths dependent upon the application.
The safety brake is fitted as standard on all industrial chain-driven shutters and is an integral part of the motor on direct drive systems. This anti-fall-back device prevents the door from dropping in the event of motor failure where pedestrian or vehicle access is required.
A canopy surrounds the components of the door at a high level to prevent entrapment and improve aesthetics. However, this is not needed and has a cost-saving benefit on any shutter with a clear opening height over 2500mm and it is also better from a maintenance perspective, as the curtain and barrel are visible.
Safety features are also incorporated to protect personnel and vehicles against accidents and prevent needless damage to your door on fully automatic systems. In the event of an electrically operated door meeting an obstruction when operating, sensors built within the bottom safety edge system are activated to disengage the door movement. Further safety devices are available depending on requirements and operational circumstances.
Typically finished with galvanised steel as standard, you can choose from a range of standard powder coat colours. This option gives the door a strong yet aesthetically attractive finish.
Special BS or RAL colour are available, as is Plastisol (plastic-coated lath) colours.

High-speed doors, also known as rapid roll doors, are much faster in operation than traditional roller shutters. Generally situated in partnership with a main roller shutter or sectional door, the high-speed door is designed for high usage during operating hours. When the business isn’t operating, the roller shutter or sectional door is closed to provide security. Manufactured using a specially designed lightweight 3mm thick PVC curtain with a full-width vision window, our high-speed door is the best answer to retain heat in a heated factory or cold in a chilled factory.
With fossil fuels experiencing huge price increases, the cost to heat a warehouse or factory has increased dramatically. Traditional roller shutters and sectional doors are slow and tend to be left open, all the hot air is then lost from this opening. A high-speed door can open at speeds of up to 2m per second and generally open in 4-5 seconds then auto close. This helps to retain heat, or even keep cooled air in, depending on the climate requirements of your industrial unit. Either way, the installation of a high-speed door can substantially reduce a company’s annual energy costs to control the climate in its factory.
If you’re looking for a solution to your car park security needs, whether it’s for 10 or 200 parking spaces, the Abacus portcullis grille is the perfect solution.
Boasting an impressive 75% free air zone, it is excellent for providing ventilation to underground / under-croft car parks which helps reduce the amount of mechanical ventilation required.
Comprising of aluminium or steel tubes & links, assorted on steel rods either in a brick bond or in-line pattern. Complete with direct drive or flange-mounted motors, these shutters are ideal for high use.
Our rolling portcullis grille can be interfaced with existing access control/building management systems, radars, or induction loops, and can be controlled via standalone transmitters/proximity fobs with auto-timed closing.
Option for openings that require mixed vehicle/pedestrian use, providing there is enough room, we can install a permanently fixed steel support for our shutter. Reducing the clear width for vehicles but enabling a personnel door to be fitted. This door can come with a wide variety of ironmongery, including panic bars, coded Digi locks and maglocks.
The portcullis car park grille, like all our industrial roller shutters, is compliant with BS-EN regulations for doors with automatic opening and closing. (BS EN 12453:2001). However, our grilles are also fitted with high-level safety to prevent entrapment of any object that could be connected/hangingonto the curtain that could potentially be rolled up inside the casing.
