How We Provided Power Operated Fire Shutter Doors to Mann & Hummel

The Amber Doors team recently carried out a project for Mann & Hummel, who wished to have their existing fire shutters replaced with something more efficient.  The client required new shutters which featured low level reset switches, which would eliminate the need to hire a scissor lift to help them to reach the reset button on the shutters each time they carried out a fire test, therefore saving them valuable time and money.

Scheduled Fire Tests

Regular, scheduled fire tests are extremely important as they have the potential to save lives, as any faults in the system can be rectified under a controlled environment.  The testing should also prompt business owners to remind all occupants within the building of the procedures to follow in the event of a fire, so that the building can be evacuated safely and quickly.  

Fire Shutter Door

After seeking our help, the Amber Doors team removed the 6NR high level manual operated fire shutters, and replaced them with a power operated fire shutter door.  Based in Wolverhampton, Mann & Hummel have been in business for over 70 years where they have built up a product portfolio which includes: air filter systems, liquid filter systems, cabin filters, intake manifold systems and sound-design components.  They have over 1,000 research specialists and produce 16 filter elements every second. 

At Amber Doors we are able to provide a range of fire resistant roller shutter doors, which are suitable for a variety of properties.  Having fire resistant doors installed fitted can mean that fire can be contained within a particular area.  This can be a key element in the prevention of fire spreading, and can save business owners an enormous amount of money and hassle than if the fire were to spread quickly across the whole premises.

If you would like more information on how we could protect your business from fire, you can give our team a call on 0121 565 6161.

Amber Doors Come to Senoble’s Rescue

The Amber Doors team were under pressure recently as they went to view a job which they initially thought would be a straight forward repair on a loading bay shelter.  However, on arriving at Senoble in Worcester, the team quickly saw that they were going to need to completely replace the shelter, as it had been severely damaged by a vehicle accidently driving into it.

The team understood Senoble’s sense of urgency, as they needed to be able to have the loading bay back in full working order as quickly as possible to resume normal levels of productivity.  The engineers efficiently identified that an inflatable shelter would need to be installed, as this would provide a secure area for goods to be transferred in and out of the building.

Our engineers discussed with the Senoble staff the benefits of having an Amber Doors inflatable dock shelter fitted:

·         Due to the inflatable feature, the shelters are ideal for vehicles of a variety of sizes.

·         The dock shelters can be mounted according to the relevant dock level height – rendering them highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of warehouses.

·         Once the trailer has reversed up to the loading bay, the head bags are inflated to create a tight seal around the rear of the trailer.  This prevents any heat from escaping from the warehouse, therefore helping to reduce draughts and act as an energy efficient piece of equipment. 

·         The tight seal can also ensure workers are protected by a safe working environment and will act as a deterrent for opportunist thieves.

The team were able to remove the existing damaged shelter and fit the new inflatable shelter in just one day, allowing Senoble to resume business as normal.  The staff at Senoble were thrilled with the result, including the quick turnaround from the initial inspection to the completion of the new shelter.
