Roller Shutter doors installed at Bristol Facility

Our team are pleased to have completed a large-scale installation of Roller Shutter doors for a client in the South West of England, one of the most significantly sized operations we have performed in recent years.

Two huge Roller Shutter doors were supplied and installed at the customers’ processing building in Bristol, with identical openings required at 12,000mm wide and 6,200mm high

The client approached us with a clear requirement for fast-acting shutter solutions that would improve the efficiency of the facility. Both shutters were designed and manufactured with just a three-week turnover period, all at our specialist manufacturing facility in Smethwick, West Midlands.

Due to the sheer scale of the job, installation of each shutter took four days and required machinery required for working safely at height. Our team of skilled site engineers successfully performed all implementation and testing to ensure the best possible performance for a highly satisfied client.

Turbo Fold Door roll-out at major UK distribution centre

UK Rapid Doors are delighted to have completed a recent project for one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK.

Our team installed nine of our new design Turbo Fold Doors at WM Morrison’s distribution centre at Latimer Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire – all for our trade partner Andrew Peters.

A challenging external installation where all the all the doors were projected off vertical steels which were set 250mm from the cladding line, our team managed to complete the works within 5 days.

Morrisons requested back to back fixing arrangement to provide maximum width for their fleet of HGV vehicles, a feature that could only be accommodated with our new inboard motor design.

All doors were produced in the UK at our production facility in Birmingham, our innovative Turbo Fold Doors have been upgraded to offer the following features:

  • Guide projection depth has been reduced to prevent unwanted noise in windy conditions
  • Framework is designed in galvanised steel as standard
  • Powder coating to any RAL colour is available
