The speed bi-folding gate opens at up to 1 m/s and suits sites with limited side space. The folding structure does not need the clear side space that a sliding gate requires, and a single-leaf gate needs no safety distance at all on the side of the receiving post. The CE-marked construction and DAAP motors designed for Nordic conditions ensure reliable operation all year round.

Gates and barriers

Sliding Gate Protector

The most popular sliding gate in Finland. Built on a heavy-duty bottom beam, The Protector is the right choice when more is demanded of a gate.

Speed bi-folding gate for high-traffic sites

The speed bi-folding gate is designed for sites where the gate opens tens or hundreds of times a day. At logistics centres, ports and airports, a traditional sliding gate in continuous use is too slow and becomes a bottleneck. The speed bi-folding gate opens at up to 1 m/s, which in practice means vehicles do not have to stop and wait. The gate meets the requirements of the industrial gate standard SFS-EN 13241:2003+A2:2016 and is CE-marked.

Speed bi-folding gate or sliding gate

A sliding gate needs clear space in its opening direction equal to its full leaf length. In tight yards or close to buildings, that space may not be available. The leaves of a speed bi-folding gate fold up or to the sides and need no side space at all. A single-leaf gate also needs no safety distance to a fixed obstacle on the side of the receiving post. A sliding gate suits sites with plenty of space and a moderate number of openings. The speed bi-folding gate is chosen when space is limited and traffic is heavy.

Speed bi-folding gate dimensions and technical requirements

The double-leaf speed bi-folding gate covers openings of 3000–10000 mm in width and 2000–2500 mm in height. The single-leaf version suits openings 1500–4000 mm wide. Both models are available in 100 mm height increments and 500 mm width increments, or in 50 mm increments to special order. The drive uses DAAP motors designed for Nordic conditions, which withstand frost and continuous use. The gate is founded on steel posts, and the foundations are sized according to the soil of the site and the size of the gate.

Safety equipment and automation

Standard equipment includes a remote control, key impulse switches on both sides, photocells and an emergency switch. The Automatik 1 safety package includes vertical safety edges on the leading edges of the gate leaves and suits vehicle traffic only. Automatik 2 adds a horizontal safety edge at calf height and detects pedestrians in the movement area of the gate. On a double-leaf gate, Automatik 1 includes 4 safety edges and Automatik 2 a total of 10. Optional accessories include a spike strip to prevent climbing over, an extra-low ground clearance (min 100 mm) and a red and green signal light.

Speed bi-folding gate price

The price of a speed bi-folding gate depends on the size of the gate, the number of leaves and the safety equipment package. A single-leaf gate is more affordable and suits narrower openings, while a double-leaf gate covers openings of up to 10 metres. The Automatik 2 safety package costs more than the Automatik 1 level, but it is essential at sites with pedestrian traffic. Pur-ait delivers speed bi-folding gates installed throughout Finland.

Speed Bi-Folding Gate, FAQ

What is the opening speed of a speed bi-folding gate?

The speed bi-folding gate opens at up to 1 m/s. This is considerably faster than conventional sliding or swing gates and reduces queuing times at busy gates.

How wide an opening does a speed bi-folding gate suit?

The double-leaf speed bi-folding gate covers openings 3000–10000 mm wide. The single-leaf version suits openings of 1500–4000 mm. The height of both is 2000–2500 mm.

Is a speed bi-folding gate suitable for a tight space?

Yes. The leaves of a speed bi-folding gate fold and need no side space, unlike a sliding gate. A single-leaf gate needs no safety distance at all to a fixed obstacle on the side of the receiving post.

When is the Automatik 2 safety package needed?

Automatik 2 is chosen when pedestrians move within the movement area of the gate. It includes a horizontal safety edge at calf height that detects a person at the bottom of the gate.

How much does a speed bi-folding gate cost?

The price depends on the size of the gate, the number of leaves and the safety equipment package. Request a site-specific quote from Pur-ait to receive an exact installed price.
