- Integrated access gate systems in 3 different styles: manual, automatic sliding gate, and automatic rotating gate. Interlocked gates are a highly desirable option where ever a station is a significant distance off the ground. The manual interlocking system can often be retrofitted to existing lifts. The rotating and sliding fully automatic access gate systems were developed in partnership with Service Door Industries using FAAC controllers. They automatically open and close the access gates according the status of the car. All styles

  • lock the access gate closed when the car is away from the station
  • unlock the access gate when the car is in the station
  • close the access gate automatically
  • prevent the car from moving unless the access gate is closed
