Megadoor – trouble-free doors supplier for Ports – a Case Study

Background

Crawford UK was recently called into a UK port operator that was having major problems with Roller shutter manufacturer Doors. They were building an extension and wanted a more suitable door system. The main problem was that when the wind went over a certain speed, doors would blow in. This rendered them in-operable, causing unacceptable delay and cost. After various attempts* to resolve the problems, the customer finally decided to replace the doors with Megadoors. Roller shutterdoors 2 * One attempt was to use a vertical wind support bolted to the ground when the roller shutter door was closed. Me g adoors 6.5x16.5 m

Why Southampton Container Terminal chose Megadoor

The Megadoor could withstand the wind loads without the need for any removable steel work. The Megadoor also operates up to twice the speed of the roller shutter (for a nominal cost this could be up to four times faster). The Megadoor can have vision building panels. The Megadoor allowed more light into the building. The Megadoor better withstood the harsh environment and requires minimal maintenance.
