Industrial Roller Shutter Door Installation
Speed, Security & Reliability

Industrial Roller & High-Speed Doors

Heavy-duty steel roller shutters and rapid-roll fabric doors engineered for high-frequency cycling, physical perimeter defense, and seamless internal traffic flow.

Performance Under Pressure

Maximum Cycle Speed & Uncompromising Security

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.

Our Industrial Door Configurations

From high-security external warehouse entrances to internal rapid-transit speed doors, we tailor every assembly to your building requirements.

Heavy-Duty Steel Roller Shutters

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.

  • Single-skin or twin-skin insulated polyurethane infill
  • LPS 1175 rated security specification options
  • Wind-lock guide channels for exposed coastal sites
  • High-torque 3-phase direct-drive industrial motors

High-Speed Rapid Roll Doors

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.

  • Rapid opening speeds up to 2.0 m/s
  • Self-repairing zipper track automatically resets after impact
  • Transparent vision panels for pedestrian and forklift safety
  • Inverter technology provides soft-start / soft-stop action

Airlock & Combined Solutions

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.

  • Daytime operation uses rapid roll for fast workflow
  • Nighttime security uses locked steel roller shutter
  • Automated electronic interlocks prevent simultaneous opening
  • Ideal for pharmaceuticals, food logistics, and cold storage

Industrial Motors & Intelligent Control

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.

Standard Safety & Drive Features:

  • Anti-Drop Safety Brake: Certified inertial safety brake stops door descent in the event of drive chain or motor gearbox failure.
  • Safety Light Curtains: Multi-beam infrared light curtain across the threshold stops and reverses door motion before physical contact.
  • Emergency Manual Override: Low-level haul chain or hand crank allows immediate manual operation during total power outages.
  • Custom Activation: Radar motion sensors, buried floor induction loops, wireless remote fobs, or wall-mounted pull cords.

Diverse Applications

Tested Across Demanding UK Sectors

From automotive assembly lines to high-throughput distribution hubs and Ministry of Defence sites, our roller shutters and rapid roll doors deliver consistent reliability:

  • Logistics & Freight: High-speed doors eliminate forklift congestion, keeping busy loading bays running on schedule.
  • Manufacturing & Engineering: Robust steel shutters protect external machinery bays and raw material loading bays from the elements.
  • Waste & Recycling: Heavy-duty rubber-bottom seals and high wind-lock ratings keep odours and debris contained within sorting halls.
  • Retail Back-of-House: Compact roller shutter barrels preserve maximum overhead storage room in constrained service yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roller Shutter & High-Speed Door Queries

How fast do high-speed rapid roll doors operate?

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.

What happens if a forklift collides with a rapid roll door curtain?

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.

Can industrial roller shutters be installed in high wind load locations?

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.

What maintenance schedule is recommended for industrial roller shutters?

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.
