sara LBS believes that automated doors can maintain order whilst ensuring safety and enhancing productivity in warehouses and loading bays.

Loading bay door controls can also be integrated with traffic lights, gates and barriers, so that they open automatically as lorries approach.
Automated loading bay doors can be installed into warehouses to improve the safety of the site.
