Automatic gates and their varieties

Modern gates for installation in garages or parking are characterized by extreme efficiency, ease of installation, durability and simplicity of design. Varieties of various types of opening mechanisms are a considerable amount, and most of them can be successfully automated. Moreover, automation moves here in two ways: on the one hand, effective electric drives are installed, designed to simplify the unlocking and locking of doors and gates, as well as the ease of opening; On the other hand, automation goes further to the creation of mechanisms of a remote reaction to the order – for example, through the remote control, through the key to the car and even through the mobile phone.

Any installation of the automatic gate requires the fitting of the canvas for the volume and specifics of the gateway, and in the case of some varieties of automatic mechanisms, there are also arrangements of the place in which the most important mechanisms will be located, in this way to exclude access to them or generally from the space from the outside Gate or garage.

In many cases, the type of gate that will be installed is very dependent on what features the garage or room has, where the car will get, what are the characteristics of the space around this place, how heavy and overall cars expects to accept this opening. And if we are talking about the industrial gate or about the place in which the business class SUV will “rest”, then it is planned, as a rule, installing the sliding gates.

The latter are a very convenient and effective design to minimize the costs of time and effort to pass large vehicles in a large entrance target. So, the sliding gates are shifted along the line of fence (fences, fence), which limits the internal space of the parking, and thus save space both in front and directly behind the gate alignment. In addition, such an opening mechanism moves the main canvas on special roller clamps, which make it possible to open a target on any width, depending on the brand of the car. Thus, it will not be necessary to push the entire canvas, if you need to “slip” into a large opening to the usual small car in a large opening.

Another most important advantage of this design is that the rollers are the most wear, and at the same time, the most easily replaceable part of the entire input mechanism. Thus, during the first breakdown, it is very easy to restore the performance of the entire opening system as a whole. At the same time, sliding mechanisms are capable of blocking the barrels of any length – in this they are unsurpassed, and there is no other type of opening mechanisms that would suit very wide spaces. If you need to block the completely non -standard space, you can use sliding sliding gates in which two canvases converge on rollers to each other, tightly closing the entrance.
