Large Roller Shutters and Doors for Farm, Agribusiness and Estate Management Warehouses

Sliding Doors for Farm Building Buildings, Workshop Units, Barns and Farm Equipment Stores.

Large Roller Shutters and Doors for Farm, Agribusiness and Estate Management Warehouses, Workshop Units, Barns and Farm and Estate Management Equipment Stores. Upgrading Farm Building Roller Shutter Doors can make a huge improvement in the daily use of a Farm's Agricultural Equipment Storage and Manageable Workshop space. Interestingly, many Farm Machinery Buildings, Barns and Farm Building Storage Units, continue to use old fashioned hinged Barn Doors, which have normally been used since the building of the warehouse or unit. These traditional style of doors, very often made from timber (rather than modern industrial materials such as High Grade Aluminium or Galvanized Steel) often result in operational and maintenance problems.

The restriction of these older style hinged doors is that they limit access at the entrance of the buildings, where it is typically most needed. Additionally, the lower security options of these obsolete doors are confined to a fairly basic lock or padlock (albeit a pretty large one). As barns now usually house and store equipment worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, these insecure Barn Doors represent a major security threat to many Farming and Estate Management Businesses.

Large Roller Shutters and Doors for Farm, Agribusiness and Estate Management Warehouses - Usability

Typically, tight farm yard schedules, when lorries and trucks come for collections or drop off's, dictate the need for speed and rapid turn round of deliveries, therefore they want to be able to reverse as near to the entrance of the farm store as possible, collect or deposit their goods and be on their way. Time is of the essence and Time represents money for both the farmer and the transporter.

Large Roller Shutters and Doors for Farm, Agribusiness and Estate Management Warehouses - Security

The security of hinged factory doors are an additional business risk that many farm owners should consider.

The new, industrial strength, Farm Building Roller Shutters, custom designed, made and installed by Wessex Industrial Doors, are specifically manufactured to your needs, with ease of access and security at the core of the process. The materials are selected for the particular purpose they are to be used for and their easy slide engineering solution means that entry to the building is trouble-free and secure.

An additional benefit of these Farm Building Roller Shutter Doors is that they are suitable for very large, wide openings and are the Door of choice for many big Farm Building Barns.

These premises frequently require the movement of large machines, farm tractors, and harvesting vehicles going in and out of the buildings. Installing any other type of Industrial Door, instead of Farm Building Roller Shutters, quite often proves to be totally unworkable.  

Large Farm Building Roller Shutter Doors Made From Galvanized Steel

Made from Galvanized Steel or where necessary, Aluminium, these large agricultural building doors have the light weight and strength required to cover such large doorways and entrances securely but with the rigidity needed for such a large structural opening.

As you would expect, one type or style does not fit all and it is essential to chose the correct Farm Building door for the requirements of your farm and the facilities and equipment used within it. 

Large Roller Shutters and Doors for Farm, Agribusiness and Estate Management Warehouses - Maintenance and Repair

Upkeep of these large sliding doors can be kept to the minimum level if, on a daily basis, the owner/ operator checks to ensure that:

  • Regular scheduled maintenance is performed by a qualified engineer.
  • Tracks are free of grime and dust build up;
  • All periodic cleansers and lubricants are applied; and
