Frequently Asked Questions
TYMETAL has been in the perimeter security solutions market since 1985. With more than three decades of experience designing, manufacturing and installing crash rated barriers, we have encountered many questions along the way. A few of the more common questions below. If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for, feel free to contact us at 888-978-4283 or online.
What distinguishes the crash-rated TCGR-4 from alternative crash-rated cantilever slide gates?
The TCGR-4 utilizes a box frame design, allowing it to span single clear opening widths up to 30 feet. The frame structure consists of two panels trussed together to form the 1’-8” wide gate panel. The engineered structure allows for a longer and taller cantilever style slide gate, as well as presenting an intimidating appearance. As with all TYMETAL cantilever slide gates, ground tracks, ground wheels and overhead support not needed.
What crash rating defines the TCGR-4 *Engineered Crash-Rated Box Frame Cantilever Slide Gate’s performance?
The TCGR-4 Box Frame Cantilever Slide Gate is *Engineered to perform to ASTM F2656-15-M30-P2 for clear opening widths up to 30’; will stop a 15,000 lb. vehicle traveling @ 30 mph within 1 to 7 meters upon impact.
* Engineered: The gate or barrier is designed to pass the crash test stated based on extrapolating previous test results, engineering calculations and/or modeling. It may not have undergone an actual test. A stamped certification (PE stamp) can be provided to ensure compliance.
What drive/operator systems and control options are compatible with the TCGR-4?
The TCGR-4 can be operated manually or equipped with an electromechanical chain drive or hydraulic rail drive operator. Speeds up to 3 feet per second are available. Features include soft start/stop and compatibility with virtually all access control and UL325 approved safety devices. All operators are UL325 compliant. Control options include keypad, card reader, push-button consols, loop detectors and remote operatoration interfaces. Battery backup is available.
