Gates

Hinged gates

301

Gate design type 301 uses a simple traditional hinging method for hanging the gate on a bollard. However this can cause undue stress to both the bollard and hinge mechanism. This type of gate is only suitable for hanging up to 1.8m long gate leaves.

Pivoting bollard gates
In response to the limitations of hinged gates we have developed a range of pivoting bollard gates. By utilising a bearing in the top portion of the bollard the whole assembly pivots around an internal steel core. With no external moving parts strength and durability are greatly increased. These gates are suitable for single leaf spans of up to five metres. Drop bolts or intermediate bollards can be provided to give extra support. We would also recommend the use of slam posts in order to lock the gate in the open position where single leaves are in excess of three metres. Provision for locking can be made either on the end of larger gates (i.e. three metres or over) or by simple tabs on the base that can be made to restrict opening to either 90°, 180° or 360°.
