Hormann, a leading provider of doors, gates, frames and operators in the region, has introduced new lift barriers equipped with EFO (emergency fast operation) function to secure passages of up to 10 m in width.

They are suitable for very frequent use, capable of managing 2,000 movements in a day; and come with a long service life equivalent to approximately three million movements, said a statement from the company

The new lift barrier H version from Hormann along with its integrated hydraulic operator is 1,300 mm in height and up to 10 m in length; and it is fitted with low foundation depths. Its speed lifting is the same as its speed lowering which is 18.5 cm per second, it stated.
 
Commenting on the launch, Darius Khanloo, managing director, Hormann Middle East and Africa, said: "The lift barrier is a valuable addition to our perimeter protection systems. For optimised security of entrances and exits, lift barriers are recommended. Its integrated hydraulic operator provides automatic lifting and lowering. Our lift barriers meet the high safety standards that Hormann products are known for."

"Moreover, the lift barrier comes with reflector strips and optional LED lights which make the barrier visible at night to prevent any vehicle from crashing into it," added Khanloo.

With its headquarters located in Steinhagen, Germany, the Hormann Group boasts a production of more than 15 million units since its founding in 1935.

In some 27 specialised factories across Europe, North America and Asia, Hormann develops and produces quality gates, garage doors, industrial doors, hinged doors, fire-resistant doors, loading equipment, frames, operators and perimeter protection systems for residential commercial and industrial purposes.
