If your business or facility requires a strong perimeter you are likely to invest heavily in high security fencing to keep out potential intruders - but have you taken the same care with your gating system? Do not permit your entrance to be a point of vulnerability by ensuring you fit a high quality gate system to control vehicle and or pedestrian access.
The best security gate manufacturers, like Gryffin, will carry out a full site evaluation and work with you to design and construct a solution that meets your security requirements and budget. They can make expert recommendations from a range of automatic and manual solutions that will best protect your site entrance.
A variety of gates are available on the market to match your security threat and budget, ranging from swing, sliding track or cantilever to models crash tested against vehicle penetration. Swing entrance gates come in a series of heights and widths and can usually be automated if required.
Track sliding gates provide a compact use of space and can span wide apertures. They are usually considered a safer option than hinged gates as they are restrained and not prone to being caught by strong wind and are contained at the closed end offering greater protection against vehicle attack. Their appearance too provides an additional psychological barrier due to their robust appearance.
Cantilevered sliding gates offer the benefit of covering uneven terrain since no ground tracks are required; this also has a cost benefit since less ground preparation is required. Remember the site requires ample roll back space to house the additional length of gate which suspends the gate off the ground.
