Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a vertical pivot gate?
A vertical pivot gate raises upward while pivoting on a hinge mechanism rather than sliding horizontally. This design reduces the amount of space required for operation and works well in confined or uneven locations.
2. Are electro-mechanical vertical pivot gates suitable for harsh climates?
Yes. These systems are engineered to operate reliably in extreme heat, cold, snow, and rain, making them suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
3. What power source is required?
The system operates using a 24V DC motor with integrated battery backup for continued operation during temporary power outages.
4. Can the gate connect to existing access control systems?
Yes. Vertical Pivot Gates are compatible with keypads, RFID readers, card access systems, intercoms, emergency access devices, and other access control equipment.
5. What gate sizes are available?
Gate systems can be manufactured for openings typically ranging from 12 ft to more than 25 ft, with custom height and infill configurations available.
6. Where are Vertical Pivot Gates commonly used?
These gates are commonly installed at commercial properties, industrial facilities, military bases, government buildings, data centers, distribution centers, and residential communities.
7. How long does installation typically take?
Because minimal excavation is generally required, installation is often faster than many traditional sliding or swing gate systems, depending on site conditions.
