Sliding Gate Protector
Sliding Gate Protector is the most popular industrial gate in Finland when a gate needs to withstand continuous use and offer structural durability. The heavy-duty bottom beam and aluminium frame support a gate width of up to 10 metres, and the CE-approved construction is suitable for automation at sites with a usage frequency of 20–30 openings per day. Pur-ait supplies and installs throughout Finland.

Sliding Gate Protector is designed for sites where the gate is the first security element on the perimeter and is used dozens of times a day. The heavy-duty bottom beam and bearing-mounted rollers keep the gate moving precisely year after year without adjustment. The aluminium frame combines strength with easy handling. The maximum clear opening for a single gate is 10 metres, and two Protectors installed facing each other together reach a width of 20 metres for heavy logistics traffic routes. CE approval ensures that the durability and safety of the gate have been tested to European standards.
Protector or a lighter sliding gate
The Protector is the right choice when usage exceeds 15–20 openings per day or when the gate opening is more than 6 metres wide. Lighter sliding gates suit occasional use and narrower openings, but they do not withstand continuous automated use as well. The Protector's heavy-duty bottom beam prevents the gate leaf from sagging even at long widths, and the bearing-mounted rollers reduce wear. If the site already has access control or CCTV, the Protector integrates with them directly via the automation control unit.
Automation and installation planning
With automation, the Protector opens at approx. 250 mm/s, which suits the normal rhythm of vehicle traffic. The recommended usage frequency is 20–30 openings per day. The gate is compatible with the most common access control, vehicle recognition and CCTV systems, and integration takes place via the automation control unit. The automation is manufactured by the Finnish company Ovitor Oy. One critical installation point is that a sliding gate needs clear space in its opening direction equal to the total length of the gate plus approx. 2 metres. For example, an 8-metre gate requires approx. 10 metres of side space. This must be taken into account at the design stage.
Infill options and applications
The infill for Protector can be chain-link mesh, profile, panel or welded mesh according to the needs of the site. Chain-link mesh offers transparency for CCTV cameras, panel infill provides visual screening and welded mesh combines both properties. Colours are available from the RAL colour chart, so the gate can be matched to the look of the property. Typical applications include main gates of industrial areas, loading yards of logistics centres, protection of public buildings and critical infrastructure (CER) sites. CE approval and heavy-duty construction also make Protector suitable for sites subject to stricter security regulation.
Sliding Gate Protector price
The price of the Sliding Gate Protector is determined by the width and height of the gate opening, the infill, the surface treatment and the automation. The price per square metre varies considerably with these choices, so it is always worth requesting a site-specific quote. Pur-ait delivers the Protector both as supply only and with professional installation. Commissioning, service intervals and any access control integrations are reviewed during installation.
