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 the Fortress Box Frame Cantilever Slide Gate, we have encountered many questions along the way. Explore a few of the common questions we are asked below. If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for, feel free to contact us by phone at 888-978-4283 or online.
Are box frame gates compatible with crash-rated or anti-ram reinforcements?
TYMETAL Fortress Box Frame Cantilever gates can be configured with crash-rated reinforcements for anti-ram applications. The box frame construction provides a structural foundation that can be upgraded to meet ASTM F2656 crash test standards when combined with the appropriate foundation anchor system and support post design specified by TYMETAL engineering.
What automation options and safety interlocks are available?
The Fortress Box Frame gate is compatible with electromechanical and hydraulic operator systems and supports the full range of UL 325-required safety devices including photo eyes, loop detectors, and obstruction-reversing sensors. Control interfaces accommodate card readers, keypads, and remote operation systems for integration into existing access control infrastructure.
What routine maintenance tasks keep the box frame system performing at peak efficiency?
Routine maintenance for the Fortress Box Frame includes lubrication of roller bearings and hinge points, inspection of the box frame for dents, weld cracks, or corrosion, and verification of roller alignment and contact with the support rail. The structural frame’s closed box profile limits moisture intrusion into the frame interior, but drain holes should be kept clear to prevent water accumulation.
