Vehicle gates
Vehicle gates for drive-through openings
A vehicle gate closes the opening used by vehicle traffic. Pur-ait’s vehicle gates are sliding gates, swing gates and speed bi-folding gates. The right vehicle gate is chosen according to the width of the drive-through opening, the space around the gate and the number of openings.
Sliding gate
For wide drive-through openings where there is sliding space beside the gate. Sliding Gate Classic covers a drive-through opening of up to 6 metres as a single leaf and up to 10 metres as a double leaf, and the largest clear opening of Sliding Gate Protector is up to 10 metres.
Sliding Gate ProtectorSwing gate
A swinging vehicle gate with an aluminium frame. The single-leaf model covers a drive-through opening of up to 5 metres and the double-leaf gate up to 10 metres. The gate can be installed to open outwards or inwards, with an opening angle of 100–180°.
Swing GateSpeed bi-folding gate
For busy sites and confined spaces. It opens at up to 1 m/s, and the folding leaves do not need the side space that a sliding gate requires. The double leaf model suits openings 3000–10000 mm wide and the single-leaf model openings 1500–4000 mm wide.
Speed Bi-Folding GateA separate pedestrian gate can be installed alongside a vehicle gate, giving pedestrians their own route past the vehicle gate. With automated vehicle gates, the installation space needed for safety devices is taken into account, and Pur-ait provides a CE declaration of conformity for every gate it supplies.
Sliding gates
When is a sliding gate the right choice?
A sliding gate suits wide drive-through openings where there is sliding space beside the gate but no room for a swing gate to open in an arc.
It suits industrial properties and housing companies with openings of over 4 metres. Both of our sliding gate models are CE approved, and the infill is chosen to suit the site, from chain-link mesh to profile, panel and welded mesh. With automation, the Protector opens at approx. 250 mm per second and withstands 20–30 openings per day.
| Model | Drive-through opening | Construction | Infill options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sliding Gate Classic | Single leaf up to 6 m, double leaf up to 10 m | 1–3 m, in 250 mm increments | Chain-link mesh or profile infill |
| Sliding Gate Protector | Clear opening of up to 10 m | Aluminium frame, heavy-duty bottom beam | Chain-link mesh, profile, panel or welded mesh |
If the drive-through opening is particularly wide and there is no side space, an alternative is the telescopic model, which reaches up to 4 metres and requires 3 metres of side space. At confined and busy sites, a fast speed bi-folding gate may be a better solution than a sliding gate.
Gate comparison
Which gate is right for me?
Sliding gates suit sites that need a wide opening but have limited side space. Swing gates give an attractive appearance when there is enough room for them to open.
Speed bi-folding gates suit high usage sites such as ports and loading docks. The fast opening time prevents congestion. Full-height turnstiles control pedestrian traffic at entrances.
