01Overview
About Retractable Gates
A retractable gate uses a folding lattice frame instead of a rigid leaf. Because the structure collapses on itself, a long opening can be closed by a gate that parks into a very short length of boundary — which is why the type is so common on factory, school and campus gates in India.
Operating method
03Variants
Available configurations
The same product, built for a different job. Where a specification depends on opening dimensions, selected profile, operating duty or site conditions, the final configuration is confirmed during technical assessment.
Trackless
Nothing crosses the driveway. Preferred where drainage, silt or heavy axle loads make a ground track impractical.
Single track
One ground rail for added lateral stability on longer runs.
Double track
Two ground rails for the greatest stability on long or wind-exposed openings.

Technical data is shown first; features, applications, compatibility, installation, safety, ordering and downloads are a click away.
Dimensions5 fields
- Maximum clear opening(mm)
- 30 m
- Maximum leaf width(mm)
- Up to 30 m (single expanding leaf)
- Maximum leaf height(mm)
- 1.6 m
- Maximum leaf weight(kg)
- Per the gate length; configuration dependent
- Side-run or swing room required(mm)
- Parked stack length; confirmed at survey
With the operator, this is what sizes the drive.
Cycle performance3 fields
- Travel speed(m/min)
- 17–19 m/min
- Opening time for full travel(s)
- Length-dependent at 17–19 m/min travel speed
- Rated daily cycles(cycles/day)
- Duty dependent; confirmed at order
Construction6 fields
- Frame section
- 52 × 50 × 0.65 mm
- Infill
- Powder-coated aluminium alloy lattice (52 × 50 × 0.65 mm main, 44 × 35 × 0.6 mm cross tubes)
- Running gear
- Plastic or cast aluminium, 95 mm diameter
- Ground arrangement
- No track, single track, double track
- Posts and foundations
- Survey dependent — sized to the ground and the track arrangement
- Finish and colour
- Silver, black, red
Wheels, rollers, cantilever carriage or hinges.
Tracked, trackless or cantilever.
Drive5 fields
- Operator type
- Electric drive, 370 / 550 / 750 W, sized to the gate length
- Rated motor power(kW)
- 370 W / 550 W / 750 W
- Supply voltage(V / phase / Hz)
- 220 V ±10%, 50 Hz
- Duty rating(cycles per hour or %ED)

- Drive control unit in the leading section
- Activation devices
- Radio remote control (≥ 30 m range)
- Travel limit setting
- Set at commissioning
- Interfaces
- Configuration dependent
Access control, traffic lights, alarm panel, interlocks.
Safety6 fields

FAQ
Questions we are actually asked
- How long an opening can a retractable gate close?
- Our published configuration covers openings up to 30 m at a standard 1.6 m height, driven at 17–19 m/min.
- Does it need a track?
- No — trackless, single-track and double-track arrangements are all available. Track adds lateral stability; trackless keeps the driveway clear.
