Space requirements for sliding gates
Although the sliding gate is also an excellent alternative to narrow and tight spaces, it requires a great deal of room for lateral opening. The sliding gates are mounted on top of the cast concrete beam and the gantry section of the escalator is two meters above the beam. That is, a 10m long gate leaf is installed in the 8m wide aperture and the same space is needed for the page. It is also possible to install sliding gates in two parts, so that the sliding gate can be installed in a passage of up to 16 meters wide.
