Gates typically are equipped with 3 – 4metre aluminum straight arms or 3metre folding arms. Industrial sized gates featuring six meter gate arms are also available.
Vertigates
Vertigates on the other hand, are used for highly secured areas and are available up to 36 feet in width. These gates can be equipped with built-in radio control, photo sensors and LED displays and are ideal in areas or situations where there may be a lack of space for swing arm or slide movement.
