Two Hörmann industrial sliding gates have been installed at the company’s Coalville headquarters as part of its review and update of site security. The 8m wide cantilevered gates have been fitted at the entrances to the transport and the stock yards, providing safe, secure, and reliable operation for the two busy access points.
A solid, HS 280 steel gate has been installed at the transport yard, particularly suited for high frequency car and truck entrances, with a Silverline HS Alu 200 aluminum gate at the stock yard which includes an induction loop for automatic opening and closing. Both gates offer a high opening/closing speed of 25 cm/s, which allows for short opening and closing cycles, and feature the AC motor integrated into the lower beams for added protection against the weather and vandalism. The gates feature 5 contact strips and 2 photoelectric switches for safe operation and accident prevention and are fitted with pedestrian access side gates.
Hörmann industrial sliding gates are available in opening sizes up to 16m, with two-leaf versions up to 32m with no bottom rail required. With a comprehensive range of accessories available and an extensive choice of colours, Hörmann industrial gates offer seamless, long-term integration into site security operations.
Eliot Buckby, Facilities Manager at Hörmann UK comments, “The installation of the two, new security gates at our main UK site was primarily about improving our overall site security and improvements to the way we operate. Alongside this they also have the added benefits of forming part of our ‘live’ showroom enabling us to demonstrate to prospective customers our products in a real, operational environment.”
