Bi-folding speed gates: for areas with heavy traffic and high security requirements
The bi-folding speed gate, also called quick folding gate, is ideal for high traffic passageways with high security requirements.
They open and close at lightning speed like a barrier, so no one has to wait. Even if you combine them with an access control system, passage is just as smooth. Due to the design, our bi-folding speed gates are as safe as a regular gate and thus a reliable demarcation of any area.
Controlling the quick folding gate
The following controls are standard and must be controlled via a potential free contact on the terminal block:
- Open the direction independently, in or out
- Open single leaf on the master side (only works with double speed gate)
- Partial opening for cyclists or pedestrians
- Stop
- Close
- Open the dead man
- Close the dead man
The open and closed position is reported back to the building management system via a voltage-free relay.
Safety
Our bi-folding speed gates come with photocell curtains and active rubber contact strips standardly installed. The photocell curtains detect vehicles passing the speedgate. When they have passed the curtains the quick-folding gate can close. The contact strips have an anti-tampering function. When a person or vehicle is between the wings during closing, the speed gate will open again due to the sensors in this strip.
Options
- Lower catch
- Upper catch
- LED traffic light
- Photo cell protection against trapping
- Signal light
- Wire connection
- Powder coating in RAL color
- Other interpretation of the panels

Our bi-folding trackless speed gate is driven by a rod mechanism above the speed gate. This avoids the need for intensive concreting. The opening speed can be configured between 0.6 and 2.0 m/sec.
Bi-folding trackless speed gate

A bi-folding speed gate with a track allows for smoother movement and indirectly for a longer lifetime for the gate.
Bi-folding speed gate with ground track

Bi-folding speed gate with overhead track allows for smoother movement and a longer lifetime.
