Heavy-Duty Commercial Sliding Gate – Fermoy, Co. Cork

We installed an 8-metre commercial sliding gate system at a site in Fermoy, Co. Cork. The gate installation included the main heavy-duty sliding gate, a matching pedestrian side gate and a matching fence panel. The steel gate system was produced with a heavy galvanised finish across the metal construction. Its 8-metre span required automation equipment rated for the size and operating demands of the gate.

We automated the main gate using a SEA 2000kg inverter-controlled motor. This high-capacity unit controls the movement of the gate across the full entrance span. Photocells and safety edges were installed as the primary safety devices, monitoring the entrance and responding to contact or detected obstructions while the gate is moving.

Several access-control options were included for site operation. The automated entrance can be controlled using push buttons, a keypad and a GSM dial-to-open system. The matching pedestrian gate was also fitted with a separate battery-operated keypad. This allows authorised users to operate the pedestrian entrance in the event of a mains power failure.

The completed commercial installation combines an 8-metre galvanised gate, matching pedestrian access, perimeter fencing, high-capacity automation and multiple control options.
