The Middle East office of the Germany-based Hoermann Group has launched a new series of sliding gates in sophisticated designs for its customers in the region.

The ideal protection for wide passages, Hoermann sliding gates made of stable steel profiles are delivered as a complete element with an opening width of up to 16 m, said a statement from the regional unit of the leading provider of doors and gates.

With a sophisticated design, the sliding gates’ construction is self-supporting with high security standards, and completely pre-assembled, it added.

The refined design of the new sliding gates offers numerous benefits, including very little foundation work, no guide rail fitting and no gate travel malfunctions due to heavy soiling.

The pre-tensioning of the gates’ lead design limits distortion as it is always optimally aligned. A tension element allows the height of the front edge to be corrected retroactively. The gate leaf is precisely positioned at the entrance for optimisation.

The sliding gates come in four standard types: the HSS - a basic version with a door width of up to 9 m; the HS - an individual version with door width of up to 16 m; the HS Alu - a basic version with a door width of up to 13 m; and then the HS BF with on-site infill and individual design with a door width of up to 10 m, said the statement.   

Hoermann’s sliding gate HSS consists of high-quality individual components and requires a comparatively low investment sum. It offers a convenient package at a streamlined price and fits beautifully and harmoniously into your premises, said the statement from the company headquartered in Steinhagen, Germany.

The gate seamlessly matches to the standards of sliding gate HS when it comes to safety and quality.

“The first impression is crucial and our new designs in sliding doors do impress. Business associates, visitors and employees immediately get the right impression upon entering or driving into company premises,” states Darius Khanloo, the managing director at Hoermann Middle East.

“This is ensured by the wealth of design options available for this door. Modern customers require customised solutions. Depending on the width of the entrance, the customers can select between four gate types and many accessory variants,” he added.

On its working, Khanloo said: "Located on the yard side, the electronic control system is integrated into the post. To carry out maintenance or adjustment work, the front flap must only be unlocked. An individually coded hand transmitter makes opening the sliding gate from the vehicle especially convenient for the drivers in the company vehicle fleet."

"This is a great advantage for frequently used gates," he added.

According to him, the new Hoermann aluminium sliding gate HS Alu is an alternative for large gates.

Aluminium guide rollers are attached on the top edge of the gate leaf on both sides of the gate, preventing direct contact between the track rollers and the high-quality gate coating, he stated.

"This preserves the gate’s attractive appearance. With the patented modular design of the bottom beam, gates with a clear passage of up to 13 m can be produced economically," explained Khanloo.

The silver strip gives the heavy-duty doors a distinctive, delicate look. The colour palette based on RAL offers up to seven standard colours as well as special colours available on request.

With automatic control, five self-monitoring closing edge safety devices stop the gate instantly even on encountering the slightest resistance. This ensures the highest safety standards for persons and vehicles, he added.

From its 27 specialised factories across Europe, North America and Asia, Hoermann produces gates, garage doors, industrial doors, hinged doors, fire resistant doors, loading equipment, frames, operators for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.-TradeArabia News Service
