Almet Doors built our reputation meeting the needs of the warehousing and distribution sector in the UK. We work with the world’s leading manufacturers of door opening systems for commercial businesses, with all of their products backed with manufacturer’s warranties giving our clients additional peace of mind.
Over the years since we first started trading, we have provided this sector with numerous docking pods, high-speed doors, shutters, loading bays, sectional doors and dock levellers, in order to help them enhance their own businesses, allowing for the quicker movement of goods in and out of their business and help them drive efficiencies in their business making them more competitive.
The Products We Provide for the Warehousing Sector
Barrier Controls & Gates
We can provide a number of innovative solutions which can help our clients control the ways that vehicles and pedestrians enter and leave their premises. For vehicles, we have seen more and more of our clients move to using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) controls, which scan a number plate of a vehicle as it approaches the main gate and then if on a pre-approved list will automatically open the barrier and let the vehicle proceed.
If the approaching vehicle is not on the list, then it can be held at the security gate prior to being given clearance to proceed. Clients can also opt for a simple call button system, which can be used by any vehicle approaching the main gate.

Docking Pods
We supply a number of docking pods to our clients each year. These pods are great as they extend out into a loading bay space, which reduces the amount of space that this solution takes up within the warehousing operation.
They can form a seal between the pod and the vehicle, which not only provides protection against the elements, but also allows it to be linked up to a dock leveller which aids the transfer of materials to and from the warehouse and the lorry.
High Speed Roller Doors
Once the goods are inside the warehouse they then need to be stored and this may involve moving then to another part of the building. As such, we have a number of door opening systems which not only reduce the time it takes to move these goods, but can also provide shelter from the elements for the staff working in these spaces.
The door opening sensors can either be triggered when driven over or by a laser that picks up the movement of an approaching vehicle. Once detected a high-speed motor will ensure the door is opened quickly in order for the goods to pass through.
Whatever the requirements you have for your warehousing operation, you can trust Almet Doors to help keep your goods moving quickly and securely!
