EasyGate manufactured a custom 19m telescopic slider gate system designed as a parallelogram to accommodate a 40cm contour drop, which was then installed by Rapid Structures Tauranga. A specialized outrigger system was engineered to ensure stability in the wind-affected location when the gates are closed.
This project highlights a bespoke engineering solution for challenging environmental and topographical conditions. The 19-meter length indicates a commercial or large-scale application, a type of custom work EasyGate handles.
Key aspects of the installation:
Telescopic Design: The gate breaks down into sections (e.g., four panels) to retract into a much smaller space than a single-panel slider, a common solution for limited return areas.
Parallelogram/Raked Shape: The custom shaping of the gate accommodates the sloping driveway, a necessity to prevent dragging and ensure smooth operation.
Outrigger Stabilization: The custom-designed outrigger setup addresses specific wind load concerns, a critical safety and operational consideration in exposed areas.
Professional Installation: As recommended for complex or automated systems, professional installation by a company like Rapid Structures ensures the system meets safety standards and operates correctly.
