Roller Shutter Doors Airport Industria

Western Cape

Suburbs we cover here: Epping Industria, Parow Industria, Bellville, Mitchells Plain

Airport Industria is freight, logistics and air cargo handling, and the doors here move more often than almost anywhere else we work.

What we see in Airport Industria

Cycle count is everything. A door on a cargo bay can run into the thousands of movements a year, which puts it well beyond anything a domestic or light-commercial build will survive. We spec heavy bearings, a heavy slat and a motor rated with headroom rather than exactly to the count, because a motor run permanently at its limit is a motor that fails during peak.

Operations here do not stop, so we plan installation and servicing around your shift pattern rather than ours. We also keep the manual override quick and obvious, because on a freight bay the people who need to use it under pressure are not always the people who watched it being fitted.

Getting on site in Airport Industria

Site access is good and there is room to work. The survey covers the reveal, the fixing substrate, the cycle count and what physically passes through the opening. On plant we plan installation and servicing around your shift pattern rather than ours, because a bay standing idle costs more than anything on our quote.

Motors, backup and load shedding

Industrial automation is rated with headroom rather than exactly to the cycle count, because a motor run permanently at its limit fails during your busiest week rather than your quietest. We fit heavier bearings, protect the control gear against the conditions in the bay, fit backup, and place the manual override for quick use under pressure by someone who did not watch it being installed.

Repairs on any make

We repair any make and we work to your downtime rather than our schedule. The common failures are bearings, motor gearboxes worked past their rating, and curtain damage from impact. Where a door has been hit we assess whether the curtain will run true again before quoting either way — a deformed slat set jams intermittently, and on a production bay that is worse than a clean failure.

What it costs

We quote from a measured survey and the survey is free anywhere in the metro. What moves the price is the size of the opening, the slat gauge the job actually needs, whether it is motorised, the corrosion specification your address genuinely requires, wind locks and bracing where the opening is exposed, and whether the reveal needs making good first. We itemise those rather than handing you one number, so you can see what you are paying for and take out anything you do not want. A rough width and height over the phone is enough for a ballpark; we confirm it on site before anything is built.

How soon we can be there

Breakdowns in Airport Industria are attended same-day wherever we can reach you, and our teams work the metro every day. A door that will not close is treated as urgent. For new work the survey is normally within a day or two of your call, manufacture takes a few working days because every curtain is built to your measurements at our own works, and installation is a morning for a single and most of a day for a double or a wide opening with automation.

Getting a quote in Airport Industria

Send us the opening width and height — and on older stock, the width at the top and at the bottom if you can get both — along with a photo of the opening from a few metres back. Tell us roughly how far you are from the sea while you are at it, because that decides the finish. From there we book the free measured survey in Airport Industria, confirm the sizes ourselves, and put a fixed price in writing with the corrosion specification itemised. Nothing is built until you have agreed that price.
