Industrial Security Gates

Industrial security gates are designed to cover access points of different types and sizes. Consisting of a sturdy, impenetrable lattice work of 14-gauge channel steel, an industrial security gate cannot be pushed through or broken down. At the same time, it allows clear visibility either into or out of a building, and it helps ventilate fumes, industrial by products, and excess heat from industrial plants and warehouses.

There are four types of industrial security gates: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single gates and Double gates mount on hinge pins that allow workers to pivot the gate to the side and out of the way when the doorway is open to traffic. Drop pins located at the center of both single and double gates prevent the steel lattice from caving in when pushed or collapsing under its own center of gravity. This design makes each unit impenetrable and extremely durable. Protection from the elements and added durability also comes from a thick coat of black enamel paint applied to every gate at the time of manufacture.

Specific features and benefits of each model follow:

Industrial Security Door Gates
These steel security gates are designed for normal sized entry doors found in any type of building, including office buildings and portable buildings. They can be left open for both ventilation and light. Easy Rack has sizes to fit all doors, and special custom sizes can be ordered through a material handling specialist to fit less common sizes. Industrial door gates feature a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right for loading dock doorways. Security door gates can be mounted either in the recess of the door frame or on the outside wall adjacent to the doorway. This allows the gate to be folded and swung to the side like a pivot to move it out of the way when it is not being used.

Single Industrial security gates
These gates consist of a single lattice of steel to cover the entrance to any number of commercial doorways and building access points. Single folding security gates ship standard to lock on the left side, but they can easily be custom ordered to lock on the right side. The center drop pin reinforces the unit and provides a sturdy barrier against intrusion.

Double Industrial Security Gates
Based upon the same design as single units, double gates are simply two steel lattices connecting together in the center. This allows either side or both sides to be swung completely 180 degrees out of the way when not in use. These are ideal industrial steel security gates to use in front of entrances that have heavy vehicle traffic, such as fork trucks, pallet trucks, pickups, and vans.

Portable Industrial Security Gates
These gates are ideal for construction environments when doorways that have been cut but not yet completely constructed. They provide movable security, and when they are folded up they are only 6.5’ high…small enough to fit through a standard door opening, and compact enough to be stored out of site. Portable security gates are easy to install and lock to the wall with a sample padlock hasp arrangement that comes included in your order.

Industrial, Folding, Safety, Security, Steel & Folding Gates from Easy Rack.

One excellent way to create temporary barriers to keep areas free from traffic and safe for workers to perform tasks is to use industrial gates. Industrial, folding, safety, and steel gates may be used both indoors and outdoors. Folding gates can function as stand alone units or units connected in a series to form longer barriers. Steel gates can be placed in front of sensitive areas at night to help security guards regulate access to the building. Other models can be setup indoors by cleaning crews who need to keep wet floors off limits to pedestrians and vehicles. Safety gates and barriers provide construction crews with a means of sectioning off piles of debris that occasionally accumulate during the course of the day.

Easy Rack ships both used and new industrial gates, folding gates, safety gates, and steel scissor folding gates in a wide range of sizes to factories and warehouses all over the United States. Easy Rack specialists will consult with you over the phone and help you choose the right security gates and industrial gates for your facility at no charge for their time.

The following are just a few of the many steel and folding gates that you can choose from.

Expand-A-Gate

The expand-a-gate is an ideal stand-alone barrier that is designed to temporarily prohibit access to areas for cleaning or safety concerns. It expands from a collapsed width of 14.5" to 144". It can be used alone, or linked with other expand-a-gates end-to-end to form longer runs. This is especially useful to construction operations that may need to section off half of an entire new floor. The Expand-A-Gate is made with heavy-duty construction and painted with a yellow & black finish. It is available in all steel or all aluminum construction.

All Galvanized Folding Gates and Portable Gates
These 15-gauge steel folding gates are made with fast installation foremost in mind. You can use them to secure outside access during the day and add security at night with heavy-duty 3" rubber casters that allow the operator to quickly and fully retract gate when not in use. The center drop pin rests in a pre-drilled hole and secures the steel gate when extended. A lock located on the right side of single gates prevents unauthorized removal. Each folding gate is constructed of steel U-channels riveted back-to-back using aircraft quality rivets and heavy-duty 1½" x 1½" vertical angles. It is then galvanized for durability.

Easy Rack includes all necessary installation hardware with your order.

Contact Easy Rack directly for a full range of steel gate sizes.

Portable Gate
Portable gates are great tools for many applications. You can use them to block equipment, personnel and entrances. They also make very useful barriers for security both inside and outside of buildings. Portable gates expand and lock to close off any opening. When they are not in use, simply fold them up, roll away and store. Porch mounted gates are good for handicap areas.

Easy Rack supplies an optional add-on section to create larger runs.
