Folding Gates - Electro Automation

Folding Gates

Folding Gates

Electro Automation supply, install and maintain bi-folding speed gates which allow quick and controlled access to locations where security is paramount.

Our high-speed gates rapidly open, close and secure your site all without causing delays at the entries and exits as the time frame is 1 metre per second.

The solid construction design, which is able to withstand intensive use, has been tested and approved for no less than 1.5 million movements. These gates are able to allow ‘controlled’ access to 450 vehicles an hour.

High security locations require an optimal performance of your access gates and we have installed high speed automatic gates at multiple high-security sites throughout Ireland. They are robust and vandal resistant, as well as being operated 24/7 with a 100% duty cycle.

Our high speed automatic gates can be guided from the top or the bottom or even be trackless dependent on your situation and to suit your security layout. The top driven operator is the perfect solution for controlling traffic at an affordable price and it also provides full control of all pedestrian traffic in a safe and reliable design. Particularly suited to car parking areas within buildings, each has a guaranteed clear opening and can be free standing. The bottom driven operator has no height restrictions so can suit many different entrances.

Our automatic folding speed gates are exceptionally safe and have been independently tested to certify that the gates conform and comply with all EN safety standards.

Benefits for choosing a Speed gate rather than swing/sliding.

Up to 10 times faster than other gates
Up to 20 times more cycles
The most cost-effective choice and saves space.
Safety Tested & Certified according to EN13241-1
