When there is limited space at the building entrance, either behind or to the sides, then bi-folding gates can be an ideal solution, with the added benefit of faster operational speeds for opening and closing too.
Our bi-folding speed gates are designed to operate at more than twice the speed of electric swing gates, particularly useful for vehicle access control and for premises with higher volumes of traffic generally.
Made to measure for the perfect fit on site and maximising your drive through sizes, our bi folding gates are manufactured in high quality steel and powder coat finished in colour of your choice. Various standard gate leaf designs are available such as palisade, prison mesh, twin mesh and vertical bars. Bespoke gate leaf designs are also possible when required.
AGD 9500
The AGD 9500 Bi-Folding gate is a trackless commercial steel gate system designed to offer gates between 3m and 10m wide in either a single or double leaf gate configuration.
Available in heights between 1.8m and 2.4m high this gate is operated using a single phase power supply with a driven integrated frequency converter supplying a three phase motor drive.
A worm and wheel gearbox with a direct drive shaft is attached to the leading gate leaf and this provides the electric drive for the gates.
100% duty cycle to provide smooth and speedy operation as much as required for your premises and controlling vehicle and pedestrian access.
Safety
Electric operated Bi-folding gates have multiple points for crushing and entrapment so the bi-folding gates have multiple safety detection systems as standard situated in various key points to provide maximum security to detect obstacles when operating.
Safety detection edges, dual infra red beams and loop detection are all options depending on the final specification and access control method used.
Access Control
For commercial access control and security most electric gate systems will be controlled by a manned security gatehouse or remote manned control with video and voice intercom along with number plate recognition where required. This is of course controlling employees as well as visitors, so a simple push button system can be used or a link to a third party access control management system for logging dates, times and other data.
For private entrance access control only, you have remote control, digital keypads, card readers, GSM intercom and phone app control and other methods, depending on the level of security required for the site.
