Heavy-duty steel roller shutters and rapid-roll fabric doors engineered for high-frequency cycling, physical perimeter defense, and seamless internal traffic flow.
In fast-moving logistics hubs and heavy manufacturing facilities, industrial doors face rigorous demands. They must open rapidly hundreds of times a day to avoid forklift delays, endure accidental knocks, and provide an impregnable physical barrier when the facility is locked down overnight.
Within our dedicated loading bay doors lineup, Arrow delivers two complementary door technologies: heavy-duty galvanised steel roller shutters for external perimeter security, and high-speed rapid roll fabric doors for internal climate compartmentalisation and lightning-fast transit.
Every system is manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13241-1 and incorporates advanced drive mechanisms, safety light curtains, and emergency manual override systems for uninterrupted operational continuity.

From high-security external warehouse entrances to internal rapid-transit speed doors, we tailor every assembly to your building requirements.
Manufactured from interlocked 76mm curved galvanised steel laths. Designed for external warehouse doorways, plant rooms, and industrial units requiring robust physical security and high resistance against forced entry and vehicle vandalism.
Purpose-built for high-frequency forklift transit areas. Operating at speeds up to 2.0 metres per second, these high-tensile fabric doors open in a fraction of a second, drastically curtailing energy loss and draughts between facility zones.
For facilities where nighttime security and daytime high-speed access are both mandatory. We install an external heavy-duty steel shutter paired with an internal rapid roll door, creating an automated airlock chamber.
Industrial door motors must withstand thousands of continuous cycles under variable temperatures. Arrow drive assemblies incorporate robust helical gearboxes, digital limit switches, and intelligent microprocessor control panels that connect seamlessly to access control networks.
For loading bays requiring superior thermal retention, explore our insulated sectional overhead doors or complete dock leveller packages.
From automotive assembly lines to high-throughput distribution hubs and Ministry of Defence sites, our roller shutters and rapid roll doors deliver consistent reliability:
Our high-speed fabric rapid roll doors open at speeds of up to 2.0 metres per second and close at 0.8 metres per second. In high-traffic corridors and forklift transit zones, this rapid cycling minimises internal heat loss, maintains cleanroom conditions, and virtually eliminates vehicle bottlenecks.
Our high-speed doors feature intelligent self-repairing zipper technology. If struck by a vehicle or pallet load, the flexible PVC curtain dislodges safely from the side guides without tearing. On the subsequent upward cycle, the door automatically resets and re-inserts the curtain into the track guide, avoiding expensive emergency callouts.
Yes, our external steel roller shutters can be fitted with heavy-duty end-locks and deep wind-lock guide channels rated to Wind Class 4 and 5 (BS EN 12424). This provides robust resistance against storm-force gale winds on exposed coastal distribution sites and elevated logistics parks.
In compliance with UK health and safety regulations (PUWER), powered industrial doors must be serviced by qualified engineers at least once every 12 months. Facilities with high cycling rates (over 50 cycles per day) should adopt a bi-annual inspection routine covering barrel bearings, drive chains, safety brakes, and limit switches.
