Advantages of Vertical Lift Gates

While Vertical Lift Gates can be used in any setting, they are especially valuable on sites where there is insufficient space outside of the gate opening for a swing or slide gate to retract without hitting an obstacle.

TYMETAL’s Vertical Lift Gate is designed to operate flawlessly as a complete system: the heavy W12x53 superstructure, a solidly engineered #60 chain drive mechanism, complete with counterweights, engineered footings (including rebar cages and anchor bolts) assure a smooth and precise up-and-down movement. To minimize stress, steel counterweights running inside the vertical support columns are fabricated to balance the weight of the gate, reducing the power demand on the motor.

The gate panel hangs on four truck assemblies, each with four sealed and permanently lubricated roller bearings, traveling inside a smooth aluminum track. A continuous loop drive system, directly connected to the counterweight in each support column, assures precision operation.

Vertical Lift Gate Options

The Vertical Lift Gate is available in a wide range of openings and is ideal for any setting with space constraints.
