FoldGuard RCS is an impact-tested, automatic bi-folding gate. With three versions available, tested to mitigate the threat of vehicles travelling at 40 and 50mph.

The gate and locking pin are powered by a hydraulic drive unit for consistent and controlled motion, which ensures smooth and quiet operation in both directions. Typically operating in 8-9 seconds plus 3 seconds for the locking pin.

All gates achieved the low penetration with shallow foundations. As a safety precaution, a light curtain, CAT 3 safety edges and an emergency stop button are fitted as standard. Together, these safety devices reduce the risk of entrapments, crushing and shearing, ensuring compliance with British Standards.

In the event of a power cut or fault, the gate can be manually operated. It has a powerful PLC with built in diagnostics and programmable inputs and outputs that can provide numerous options depending on client requirements.
