Swing gates are hinged on one side and swing open and closed like a door. Swing gates typically travel a 90 degree arc between their open and closed positions. Swing gates can consist of a single leaf or double leafs and can be in-swinging or out-swinging.
Swing gates are most commonly used in residential applications because of their low cost and ease of installation. Because swing gates travel over a large arc, space must be available to allow vehicles approaching the gate to remain clear while the gate opens or closes. The swinging arc of the gate also requires additional safety considerations to prevent people or vehicles from being hit or trapped by the moving gate.
Our swing gate Install and Repair team is second to none. You can choose from single gates or double gates (bi-parting).
The gates swing inward, so sufficient space is needed to accommodate the proper function of a single or double swing gate.
Single swing gates are economical and easy to install in spaces that are no larger than five meters wide, including pedestrian walkways. Bi-parting swing gates accommodate entrances of up to 10 metres. Both can be opened from your home or vehicle for extra security and peace of mind.
Swing gates open with a rotation around a fulcrum, just like an ordinary door. When the gate’s doors open, they usually turn inward thus requiring specific internal space.
Knowing the dimensions and the approximate weight of the leaf gate, the sturdiness of the post and the leaf gate, the material it is made of, is necessary in order to choose the ideal automation system.
The automations are usually powered by the 230V supply and 24Vdc, which, thanks to the low voltage alimentation, guarantees a safer functioning.
