SStanair is reminding business owners to take care when moving vehicles through doorways this autumn and winter following a recent spate of accidents.
With the colder weather setting in, many businesses are keeping their industrial doors closed; only opening them when required.
In the summer, many doors remain open for the whole day. It’s easy for staff to forget that doors are not fully open. In fact Stanair has noticed an increased number of call outs due to people hitting half-opened doors with tall vehicles.
Accidents such as these can cause significant and expensive damage to both the door and the vehicle.
Stanair operates an emergency door repair service to help clients with damaged doors resume operations quickly. But as with most things, prevention is always better than cure.
Stanair recommends automated rapid action doors which fully open and close, significantly reducing the likelihood of a vehicle striking the door.
