AutoGate is the leading manufacturer of the first UL-325 & Canadian CAN/CSA 22.2 No. 247 listed Vertical Pivot Gate (VPG) operators. The VPG’s outperform slide and swing gate systems in all weather conditions including extreme heat and particularly cold and snowy conditions where our competition fails. The bottom of the gate panels are custom fabricated to be adaptable to any terrain including cur
bs, rail-road tracks, uneven driveways, crowns, and drainage swales. Additional security features include Anti-Climb designs and all systems have standard open and close cycles that range from 7-12 seconds depending on model. Our systems offer a substantially reduced need for maintenance causing a lower cost of ownership and increased life cycle over our competition. Built-in battery backup is a standard feature which prevents security lapses during power outages. Our High Security barrier systems, the Shield® provide not only vehicle control but can also deny pedestrian threat entrance by fabricating a gate panel to the barrier arm. Our AutoGate security barrier gate systems are available and crash tested in accordance with ASTM F2656, Standard Test Method for Vehicle Crash Testing of Perimeter Barriers and U.S. Department of State (DoS) SD-STD-02.01 with ratings of K12/M50, K8/M40, and K4/M30.
