Comprehensive Fleet & Logistics Gate Automation Services
Our specialized approach addresses the unique demands of commercial logistics operations. We design and install systems capable of handling heavy traffic volumes while maintaining security and operational efficiency.
High-Capacity Sliding Gate Systems
Commercial sliding gates operate on reinforced tracks designed to handle continuous daily cycling without premature wear. These systems accommodate openings from 20-30 feet wide while requiring minimal lateral clearance for installation.
Heavy-duty motors and drive systems provide reliable operation even under demanding commercial use conditions. Professional installation includes backup power systems and manual override capabilities for emergency access during power outages.
Advanced Barrier Arm Solutions
Barrier arm gates handle over 300 vehicle cycles per day with opening times of just 2-3 seconds for maximum traffic efficiency. These systems integrate seamlessly with existing parking management software and access control databases.
Weather-resistant components ensure reliable operation in coastal Southern California conditions year-round. Installation includes safety features like vehicle detection loops and emergency breakaway arms to prevent damage during accidental contact.
Telescopic Gate Installation
Telescopic sliding gates save up to 40% of installation space compared to traditional sliding systems through synchronized multi-panel design. These gates utilize 2-3 collapsing panels that provide full security while accommodating facilities with limited side clearance.
Heavy-duty track systems and synchronized motors ensure smooth operation despite the complex mechanical requirements. Professional calibration ensures all panels move in perfect synchronization for reliable long-term performance.
Vertical Lift Gate Systems
Vertical lift gates operate in spaces with zero lateral clearance requirements, rising like overhead doors to provide unobstructed openings. These systems work effectively in facilities where horizontal gates cannot accommodate existing infrastructure or space limitations.
Industrial-grade lifting mechanisms handle gates up to 14 feet in height with appropriate clearance above. Installation includes safety features like pressure sensors and emergency descent systems for personnel protection.
Our Installation Process & Project Management
We follow a clear, professional process to install your RFID system with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency. Every step is carefully managed to ensure your system runs smoothly from day one.
1. Site Assessment & System Design
We start by evaluating your facility to find the best gate locations and understand traffic flow. Our team identifies any challenges early on and designs a system that works with your existing setup, with room to grow. You’ll receive a detailed plan outlining the equipment, timeline, and future maintenance.
3. System Programming & Testing
Once installed, our technicians program the system, connect it to your facility’s existing management systems, and test everything thoroughly. We make sure access controls, safety features, and emergency functions all work as expected.
2. Infrastructure Prep & Installation
We handle all the prep work—like electrical setup and foundation work—to commercial construction standards. Our team coordinates with your staff to avoid disrupting daily operations. Using the right tools and techniques, we install all equipment with precision and perform quality checks before turning the system on.
4. Ongoing Support & Maintenance
We offer service contracts that include regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and priority repair support. Our team keeps detailed records and suggests upgrades as your needs change.
