A. Track sliding gates are a popular entry exit solution that finds a wide range of usage points including both residential as well as commercial ones. It consists of a ground rail and wheels which are coupled on the groove that moves the gate. The quality of the rail, the rollers and the groove is what decides the efficiency and lifespan of these systems. At Progate, we offer a wide range of choice for both guide plates as well as rollers for fixing on the pillar.
A. If you cannot or do not want to install a track rail on the ground, then you can opt for a cantilever sliding gate system that runs on a multi wheel carriage system. They are perfect for entry exit points that have space constraints.
A. A telescopic Sliding Gate system comprises of multiple gate components that each move at varying speeds to reach their final position at the same time. It is a highly specialized entry solution that requires very less back run and offers optimum protection for very large access widths.
A. Its easy really. It's the track rail on the ground that separates the two. As the name suggests, track sliding gates have a rail track installed on the ground whereas cantilevers are suspended from a framework. They both function in a very similar manner though.
A. Each one of the two has its own share of pros and cons. Let us look at them in detail.
Track Sliding Gates
Pros: The mechanism is simpler as it consists of a ground track to support the gates and it can span wider entrances.
Cons: They require a level ground surface to be installed and to function correctly. Any kind of debris or dirt in the rail can hamper the usage.
Cantilever Sliding Gates
Pros: Since there is no rail, there is very less groundwork and no need to pay frequent attention and care to clear dirt or debris. The operation is quitter and it can be installed even on uneven surfaces.
Cons: Cantilevers are not suited for wider openings and they require additional space on the side to accommodate the circuitry.
A. Not exactly. While both these entry solutions move vertically, there is a significant difference in the two. Rolling shutters are all about providing comprehensive and complete protection from all external factors like weather conditions and other threats. They are fabricated from Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, (insulated) P.V.C. But high speed doors are all about speed and energy friendliness. Their similarity is what makes them the chosen solution for commercial applications.
A. Yes. We offer completely tailor made solutions. We know that your requirements might be unique and hence, we have a sales team that has all the answers to your questions. Feel free to get in touch with us, here!
A. Yes. We know that having the same type of fencing can help not just aesthetically, but it enhances functionality also. So, we have a separate team that works on designing the fencing that matches our gates.
A. There are different types of gate systems each having its own distinct requirement of power. Some industrial systems require heavy three phase power. But most of them are 240 V mains. There are others that are 12/24 V low voltage. But this suffices only for the automation. Additional power is required for communication, lighting or other maintenance tools like wielding and drilling. Hence, it is always recommended that you have 240V and 13 amp power supply at all times.
A. Most of our systems are planned to function in case of a power cut as well. They have battery backup features as well as manual override which enable manual operation in situations like this.
A. Safety features are customized according to client specifications. If the client requires additional safety features, they can be added. But we normally include a set of infrared beams that prevent a gate from closing in on people.
A. No, all transmitters can be coded with an individual code for total security.
A. Costing varies according to the size, material, design, functionality and add on features that you select.
A. Sliding gates are all about conserving space and about automation. They require much lesser space, do not invade into the driveway and can be automated easily. Swing gates on the other hand require a lot of space. But the eventual choice depends completely on individual requirements and tastes.
A. Yes. We firmly believe in after sales service and its part of our business ethics.
A. Yes. Our sales team will be more than happy to visit your site and understand your custom requirements. All questions answered!
