Telford Heritage Manufacturer
Industrial Door Case Study

Who is the client?

This client design and manufacture specialist vehicles for the military services both in the UK and internationally with a heritage dating back to the 1840’s. Their products include wheeled, tracked, and protection vehicles as well as military bridges.

We completed a site survey in April 2024 during which our Business Development Manager assessed the bespoke needs of the client. They were already aware of EFAFLEX and had one of our doors installed recently at this facility.

For this project, they were looking for a replacement roll up fabric door to supersede doors that had been in situ for over 20 years and no longer serviceable.

What fast action industrial doors did they choose?

This installation was in an area that was both sensitive and specialist in nature, with a particular requirement to create an air lock, with interlocking doors at both ends of the tunnel.

The SRT- ECO was deemed most suitable. It has been specifically designed for busy material handling environments, delivering exceptional price-performance ratio. This roll up fabric door opens and closes at speed; perfect for creating the air lock needed for this client.

What benefits will this fast action door deliver?

The EFAFLEX SRT- ECO uses a space saving design for interior environments. Opening at speeds of up to 2 metres per second and closing at up to 1 metre per second, it reduces keep open times which not only reduces the risk of unwanted access, but also energy loss.

Unlike other fabric roller shutter systems, the EFAFLEX roll-up high-speed door is engineered using quality materials and a bespoke design which significantly reduces bowing and edge gaps for a flush resilient fit.

What are the key benefits of this specific door?

Operating speeds (open and closing) as well as build quality are features of the SRT- ECO to deliver a price performance result with its simple construction offering years of proven service

The transparent visibility panel improves line of sight to reduce the risk of incidents. Furthermore, it improves the workplace environment by allowing natural light to flow.

Were there any specific requirements from this project?

This client was looking for a solution that would create air locks in their busy manufacturing facility.

Safety, as in all of our installations was vital, to create an environment that improves user well-being and minimise the risk of workplace incidents.

Our team worked (survey, design, manufacturing and installation) in unison to achieve on all levels with further opportunities to work with this client in the future.
