High speed door installation for Birmingham engineering firm

Our team are delighted to have completed a new High Speed Door installation at a local engineering company based in Birmingham.

The client, Guhring Limited, is a world class manufacturer of precision cutting tools and allied tooling, serving the engineering and manufacturing industries since 1973.

They contacted UK Rapid Doors as the company was experiencing production problems due to the time their existing Insulated Sectional door was taking to open and close.

This issue had made it difficult to manage the airborne pollution and temperature fluctuation within their plant, having an adverse effect on the precision engineering production process.

Guhring’s Plant Manager Rob Fryer got in touch with us on November 27th in search of a quick and divisive way to solve the issue, and UK Rapid Doors were only too pleased to oblige.

Our team quickly surveyed the site before recommending and agreeing a tailored solution with the client. Aware of the time restraints effecting the customer, we pushed through manufacture and installation of a new high speed door within two and a half weeks.

The finished installation was completed by December 12th.

Rob was delighted with the pricing of the new door and the speed and precision of service offered by our team. We’re happy to report that the new Zip Speed Door has solved the original production issues that the company had encountered, helping them to become more productive and efficient in their essential day-to-day operations.

Unfortunately, a TNT lorry decided to drive straight through the new door just a fortnight after it was installed!

But even this was not a major problem, with the innovation zip technology used to manufacture the new model it only took a quick recommissioning visit to get the door fixed and back to full speed.
