In order to conform to legislation on the admissible forces for vertical closing doors, most companies utilize a "Contact Safety Edge". This means that the safety edge has to strike a person or object before stopping and returning to the fully open position.

In today's world where litigation is often the first rather than the final resort, sara /Loading Bay Specialists will provide a solution to your problems by offering a range of doors which have the unique "Non Contact sara Safety Beam". This patented design is credited with numerous safety awards and incorporates a special transmitter/ receiver that travels ahead of the door's bottom rail. Any solid obstruction entering this area will stop the door and reverse it automatically to the fully open safe position, ensuring no damage by contact.

Also supplied as standard with the door is a full height and width transparent safety curtain that provides clear vision from both sides of the doorway, as recommended by the H & S Executive and essential for safety reasons. This model of the sara Sprint Door is probably the safest High Speed Door in the world and recognised as the market leader for the design, supply and installation of High Speed Doors.
