FOLD-UP®

Ideal for Loading Bays

Weatherproof by Design

FOLD-UP is built for exposed external openings — loading bays and large doorways where wind, rain and general UK weather rule out a standard rapid door.

Fast Cycling, Even Outdoors

Rapid opening and closing keeps goods-in moving through loading bays without long waits at the door, even on a busy site with constant vehicle and forklift traffic.

Wind-Resistant Construction

Where wind load is a genuine structural concern, FOLD-UP’s folding design and weatherproofing are built to hold up on sites where a roll door alone wouldn’t be enough.

I’ve installed many speed doors in my time but this is by far the best and easiest to install and the quality is 10/10. The set up of the door is so easy, you just connect your phone via Bluetooth to set up limits, auto time closing, speed of the door and many more. These guys are now my go to for every speed door I install. Andrea is so helpful even taking phone calls while on holiday with his family. Couldn’t recommend these guys any higher. Thanks for all your help.
