Automatic Sliding Gates, By Parking Facilities Ltd

Parking Facilities Limited is proud to present the PF9000 Sliding Gate. Unique to the Parking Facilities brand, the PF9000 is a pioneering concept, using a simple yet reliable design, and introducing an external friction drive mechanism, to produce durable and efficient results.

DESIGN FEATURES

Our PF9000 Cantilevered Automatic Sliding Gates are made to order and can be supplied with a height of up to 2.4 metres with a drive-through of up to 10 metres wide; all with a ground clearance of 125mm.

The main gate frame is mounted onto our custom-made lower beam extrusion. The PF9000 rack & pinion drive mechanism is incorporated into the lower beam as opposed to the inside face of the gate, protecting it from the elements, whilst also being completely out of view.

AESTHETICS

hss

The PF9000 has a sophisticated, durable and secure appearance. Spikes line the top of the gate to warn off intruders, and the 6mm thick evenly-spaced individual Aluminium bars further add to the sturdy appearance. The compact housing of the electronics, coupled with the drive motor and supports being expertly hidden beneath the lower beam further enhance the neat and professional appearance.

INSTALLATION/BUILDING REQUIREMENTS

The PF9000 heavy-duty automatic sliding gate will be assembled and fully tested within the production factory, thus minimising the disruption on site. The gate will be delivered, ready to be lowered on to the pre-installed concrete plinths.

ACCESS CONTROL OPTIONS Proximity Card Readers and Controllers, Keypads, Remote Control Transmitters, Push-Button control Raise/Stop/Lower, Intercom Systems, Token Acceptors, Counting Systems etc.

BS/EN 12453 COMPLIANT

The PF9000 complies with safety features announced under the EU standards and regulations. Six profiled Safety Edges are provided; each consisting of 2 parallel electrically conducted rubber strips. These are connected to the main control panel by two cables, which are concealed within the lower beam, which transmit messages to and from the safety edges. In the unlikely event of a fault, messages will be transmitted to the necessary safety edges instructing the gate to be stopped, regardless of its current operation.
