Working through a major developer which delivers high-profile infrastructure projects, Hart Door Systems has supplied 16 industrial doors, ranging from Speedor Storms to insulated shutters for a major Waste Transfer Station.
Hart’s chairman, Doug Hart says the scheme is billed as a step forward into a greener future and “we are delighted to be part of this significant project which demonstrates our broad range of industrial door products”.
He adds: “Time and again clients tell us Speedor Storm is chosen because of its fast open and close operation. This in turn helps with environmental control and energy use reduction, essential for any major green project. Other Speedor Storm benefits include reliability and technologically advanced features which boost efficiency.”
Hart Door System’s wind-resistant, high-speed, industrial rolling door, Speedor Storm, is ready for business be it a factory, warehouse, storage facility or any kind of plant operation that has one or more large external openings which must be opened frequently for people and traffic.
With wind resistance available up to ‘wind class 5’, as defined by DIN EN 12424, in the closed position this high-speed door is ready for openings to a maximum 8 metres width or height subject to 48 square metres. This ability to withstand substantial wind pressure means major entrances open/close automatically so avoiding a less than optimal working environment and the escape of heated air.
Speedor Storm is designed specifically to help with several areas of business notably productivity, improving environment in which to work, delivering maintenance of temperature and environment by door preventing penetration by wind born debris.
Made at Hart’s Newcastle factory, from where its teams of engineers are available throughout the UK for installation and reliable servicing and maintenance thereafter.
The benefits of Speedor Storm come from its unique guide system in combination with other carefully designed features. Further Speedor Storm’s strength and wind resistance comes from its multi-layer PVC and textile, both long-lasting and tear-resistant and its inbuilt horizontal curtain braces and no external cumbersome and noisy external wind bars.
There is a colour choice as well as ‘a with or without vision panel ’ which combine to deliver a good appearance, operational effectiveness and a performance product.
Safety features include a state of the art safety light curtain, anti-fall protection and sensors to activate the door. There is a range of operating methods that include hands free, floor loops, radar, photo beam, radio operation, movement sensors, handheld or vehicle-mounted radio transmitters, or simple push button and pull cords.
The automatic operation can be set to include or exclude pedestrians as desired. If warning lights or klaxons are required, these can be incorporated in a complete door system and control panel which are designed for any conceivable need including integration into a Building Management System if necessary. This is delivered via its unique guide system in combination with other carefully designed features.
Little wonder Speedor Storms are so highly regarded.
