Commercial Electric Gates

Electric Gates provide an effective and low cost solution to the problem of controlling access into secure industrial premises. At Ansador, we have extensive experience of designing and installing durable and reliable automatic gates. Our service extends to designing the gates, specifying the most appropriate operator and access control solution, and provision of power where necessary. Once we have commissioned a new industrial gate system to suit your requirements, we offer full customer training and ongoing maintenance cover.

Commercial Electric Gates

Design

The most important feature of any industrial gate is that it is sturdy and dependable. Most industrial gates are fabricated from steel box-section (strong and lightweight), then galvanised for minimal maintenance, and powder-coated in almost any colour to suit your company’s requirement. All our gates are bespokely built (meaning we will work with any design ideas that you might have), however we do have a number of standard designs that can suit most entrances.

Commercial Electric Gates

Swing or Slide

There are two main types of electric gate: swing and sliding. Swing gates can be automated using hydraulic arms, which are fixed to the back of the gate, or underground operators that are hidden from view. Sliding gates are driven open and closed by a floor-mounted motor.

Commercial Electric Gates

Access Control

The most common method of activating an electric gate to open is via the use of a remote transmitter from inside your vehicle. Alternatively, keypads, card/fob access, induction loops or number-plate recognition systems can be used as the method of activation for your gates. To screen and allow visitor access, we offer a wide-range of intercom systems to integrate with the electric gate. These can be audio-only, audio-visual, hard-wired or telephone-based. There are also many other gate accessories also available.

Swing

Swing gates can be automated using hydraulic arms, which are fixed to the back of the gate, or underground operators that are hidden from view.

They are a cost effective solution to controlling access to a wide range of commercial premiss, with opening times of between 25 to 35 seconds.

Level ground is required in the area behind the gate, so consideration to the surrounding areas must be considered.

Swing gates are made as standard from steel in a bar infill design. They are finished in a minimum of galvanising to eliminate rust, and then paint spray or polyester powder coated to a variety of colours to suit your requirements.

Depending on your requirements additional safety equipment can be fitted such as CCTV, Access Control system, Anti climb gate spikes.

Our surveyors are always available to talk on 0207 228 7777 if you wish to discuss what options are available to you.

 

Slide

Sliding gates are driven open and closed by a floor-mounted motor. To decide which is most appropriate for your industrial premises, you should consider whether the ground is sloped (sliding gates cannot work on a gradient) and what space is available for the gate to open into.

Slide gates have many advantages over swing operated electric gates.

Slide gates do not need the space that is required for swing gates to open, this leaves more space in your driveway and is also better suited where limited space is available.

Slide gates are also more secure as they offer better resistance to force, meaning the are harder for intruders to force open.

Our surveyors are always available to talk on 0207 228 7777 if you wish to discuss what options are available to you.

 

Bi-Folding/Speed Gates

Bi-Folding Gates open at roughly twice the speed of normal swing gate of the same size, these gate types are especially useful if you have a high volume of vehicles entering and exiting your premises

For more information on Bi-Folding/Speed Gates our surveyors are always available to talk on 0207 228 7777.

Existing Gates

Ansador Ltd prides itself in being able to automate almost any existing gate. We have a wide range of automatic gate operators that can be retro fitted to existing gates to allow for automation.

Our automation engineers are skilled welders so are able to manipulate existing metalwork to ensure the gate is made suitable for automation.

 

Problems with Existing Gates?

Our automation engineers are fully trained on a wide range of different manufacturers equipment so can assist in repairing, maintenance and servicing on existing electric gates.

We also offer maintenance service agreements, where in the event that any of your automation equipment fails or needs repair/maintenance we are there within a 24hour period to get everything running smoothly again for you.

Access Control

The most common method of activating residential electric gates to open is via the use of a remote transmitter from inside your vehicle. Alternatively, keypads, card/fob access, induction loops or number-plate recognition systems can be used as the method of activating your gates. Induction loops are extremely popular for automatically triggering gates to open for free exit.

To screen and allow visitor access, we offer a wide-range of intercom systems to integrate with the electric gate. These can be audio-only, audio-visual, hard-wired or telephone-based. There are also many other gate accessories also available.

Also available as a method of gate access is GSM gate openers which can operate from your mobile phone. These are popular as they allow flexible gate control, allowing you to grant access remotely, simply by dialing a number on you phone.

Safety

Electric gates are classed as machines and therefore has the potential to cause serious harm.

During the summer of 2010 two young children died after becoming trapped in powered gates. As a result the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) issued two safety notices in 2010 outlining details on the risks and the protection method needed.

The HSE now requires electric gate installers to carry out a comprehensive risk assessment of hazards to anyone using the gates prior to design and installation, under the Machinery Directive MD2006/42/EC and BS-EN13241-1.

At Ansador all our installations comply with the latest British Standards. This is achieved by installing a variety of safety beams, safety edges and induction loops that detect the presence of pedestrians and vehicles.

Completed installations are subject to a number of force tests to ensure the gate is safe for all. Our maintenance contracts also ensure systems and safety circuits are tested bi-annually.

Our Service to You

Our trained surveyors will carry out free-of-charge surveys before providing a detailed quotation for the works. To arrange this, please call 0207 228 7777 and speak to one of our friendly staff.

During these visits, they will assess following in order to specify the appropriate equipment:

  • The number of likely cycles per day to ensure the duty cycle of the motors is suitable for the application.
  • The type, size, weight of the gates to ensure the motors are appropriate for the application.
  • The safety circuits required taking into account the environment the gates are working in e.g. public or private access etc.
  • The slope of the roadway if any.
  • The necessity for planning regulations or not.
  • The type of control required such as remote transmitters, coded entry, intercoms, proximity cards, key-fobs or automatic entry/exit loops.
  • Security requirements for the site generally such as pedestrian access etc.
  • Compliance issues for particular organisations.

Electric gates provide a huge deterrent to attempted theft and provide the user with an increased level of security, privacy and safety, particularly on busy roads. Using Ansador as your installer guarantees you a top quality installation, and attentive customer service throughout and after the installation.
