It's always nice to conquer a challenge.
Recently Dresser-Rand asked us to design a large double gate as a matching complement to five other Extendamatics that they already have on the floor for the purpose of guarding. This particular set of gates needed to secure an area where valuable inventory is stored.
This presented a design and engineering challenge because the gate (set of 2) needed to be 6 feet high, secure a span of 20 feet and have a small gap at the floor. At the same time it had to provide full access to the area.
Needless to say, this is a lot of freestanding iron and it had to be designed with Extendamatic's signature characteristics of ease of operation, smooth, gliding expansion and retraction, as well as swing-away capability. Not necessarily an easy task for so much bulk. We also threw in cane bolt drop pins with padlocks to secure the gating to the floor and a set of locking handles for additional security. We are proud of the result.
Extendamatic guarding can be a benefit to your operation as well. I know of no other product that can deliver such a strong presence and yet swing away and contract to next to nothing. At the same time, when retracted, it grants full access to an area for loading, servicing or maintenance. It can also be internally wired for interlock or alarm activation.
