Bi-Fold Gates

Description

Automatic Bi-Fold Gates

Bi-fold gates use folding leaves to manage vehicle access where the entrance layout limits the space available for a conventional swing arrangement. The original two-page Madoors catalogue presents automatic folding gates for commercial and industrial entrances, with electromechanical or hydraulic working-system options. The illustrated gate is a reference configuration; final dimensions and drive selection are project-specific.

Construction and Finish

The catalogue describes fully welded rectangular hollow-section steel for the gate frame and support posts, with 25 × 25 mm RHS uprights. Hot-dip galvanizing is described for fabricated steel, with optional powder coating in a selection of colours. Confirm the coating system, chosen colour and treatment of site joints or repairs in the quotation.

The source states a single-leaf span of up to 6 metres. This is a catalogue capability reference, not approval for every height, infill, wind exposure or operating duty. Submit the clear opening and proposed gate height so the supplier can confirm an appropriate arrangement and current fabrication drawing.

Drive and Access Control

The described standard speed-drive system incorporates a three-phase drive motor with PLC and inverter control. The catalogue identifies electromechanical and hydraulic operating options, but does not give a numerical opening time. Required opening speed, duty cycle, power supply and manual-release procedure should therefore be confirmed for the selected gate.

Safety devices listed in the source include photoelectric beams, light curtains, inductive loop detectors and signage. Flashing lights and audible alarms are listed as options. Additional accessories include uninterrupted power supply, steel cladding and traffic lights. These items must be identified in the supply schedule rather than assumed to be included.

Project Review

Provide the lane layout, available folding space, vehicle types, expected traffic, access-control interface and emergency operating requirements. Confirm foundations, fixing details, safety-device positions, commissioning and maintenance responsibilities. Where a crash or anti-ram rating is required, request the full test report for the exact gate, foundations and installation arrangement; logos reproduced in a brochure alone do not establish a tested rating.

Request a Quotation

Use the quotation option on this page to send dimensions, quantity, finish, delivery destination and relevant drawings. Marouf Türk will confirm the gate configuration, drive package, accessories, supporting documentation, availability and delivery terms for the project.
