Collapsible Gates

Collapsible gates provide security, ventilation and visibility for dock doors, lift-up doors, hallways and entrance ways. Collapsible gates are used in a wide range of commercial and industrial environments, including manufacturing and warehouse facilities, retail and distribution centers, schools, hospitals, health care institutions, and office buildings.

Collapsible gates are made of 3/4" wide 14 gauge steel channel that is riveted back to back. The upright gate rails are made from hot rolled angle iron, and drop pins in the center of the gate give the middle section of the unit added strength and stability that prevent it from being pushed in or bent downward from the top.

Easy Rack gates come in four standard model types and can be customized to fit uncommonly sized access points. Every gate includes a locking bar and will pivot 180 degrees pivot out of the way when not in use.

Collapsible Door Gates
Door gates are designed to fit over door openings that measure 24" to 48" wide and 61" to 83" high. Collapsible door gates feature a reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted on either the left or right side. You can mount them either in the casing itself or on the facing of the door opening.

Single Collapsible Gates
These one-piece gates are designed to fit openings 4-1/2ʼ X 7-1/2ʼ wide and up to 8ʼ in height. They are commonly used to provide security over commercial and industrial bay doors, garage doors, and warehouse doors. Single collapsible door gates are engineered to lock on the left side, but you can order them custom made to lock on the right side if necessary. Like door gates, single collapsible gates can mount either over the doorway itself or over the door casing. The lead rail of the gate features a ball bearing caster that allows for smooth extension and retraction of the gate.

Double Collapsible Gates
These two-piece gates can fit apertures measuring up to 10ʼ in height. They are used extensively in warehousing and manufacturing environments where building entrances have to be designed not only to permit human foot traffic, but vehicle traffic as well. Easy Rack can custom order these gates to fit any size width, including dock doors and overhead doors. Both sides of the gate will pivot a full 180 degrees outward to the side to permit material handling equipment and vehicle traffic. Double collapsible gates lock together in the middle with a standard padlock. For gates that will be installed inside a dock door, extended brackets can be ordered to keep gates back and out of the way of overhead doors.

Portable Collapsible Gates
Portable gates are ideal for construction sites and for use inside schools and hospitals where certain areas need to be restricted at certain times of day. In schools after hours, portable collapsible gates can be used to block off hallways and cafeteria areas. Hospitals can use them to restrict access to intensive care areas, laboratories, and other sensitive parts of the building.

Construction crews routinely use portable collapsible gates to stand in doorways and hallways of buildings that are still under construction, and to limit access to potentially dangerous areas and places where sensitive materials and equipment are being stored.

Portable gates collapse to 6 X 6.5ʼ when not in use and can be stored in closets or portable buildings when not in use.

Keep in mind that all gates drop approximately one inch in height when expanded. Be sure to take this into account when ordering your product to ensure that the expanded gate properly fits the vertical height of your doorway.
