Prepare the sleigh in summer and the gate too

Why is it better to install gates in the warm season?

If your production gates are out of order and require urgent replacement, of course no one will wait for a warm period. But if the gate is functioning and needs to be replaced due to wear or low frost resistance, then it makes sense to wait for warm weather. To prepare a draft of a new gate system, the following parameters are taken into account:

• Calculation of the strength of the opening depending on the size and weight of the gate structure. You may need special preparation of the opening.
• The presence of a lintel and free space for the placement of the canvas and installation.
• The number of opening cycles per day. The cost and type of drive depends on it.
• The time of the year and day of installation, since the opening will not be possible to use for some time. This is especially true in high-load industries that work around the clock.

So why is it better to install the gate in the warm season?

1. In the warmer months, installation work is faster. This can reduce the final cost and overhead.
2. Delivery and unloading of products at plus temperature is safer and faster.
3. Plus, on the street, the room will not be much cooled during installation, which means there will be less heating costs.
4. In winter, soil heaving and deformation of the walls of the building are possible, which can complicate installation.

These advantages can be neglected. Installers can qualitatively install gates at any time of the year and in any strip of our vast country.

How to install industrial roller gates

The design of different manufacturers of gates with a rolled web may differ, but the general stages of installation will be approximately the same:

1. Preparation and marking of the opening
2. Installation of consoles.
3. Installation of side rails.
4. Installation of a shaft with a web assembly.
5. Installation of the control unit and setting of limit switches (except for the gate with manual opening).
6. Installation of additional equipment depending on the configuration (locks, key buttons, radar, light signal, etc.)
7. Installation of a protective box (if available).
8. Checking the operation of the entire system.

Of course, this is an approximate list of stages of work, in practice, additional work is often added to adjust the gate mechanism or prepare the opening. For self-installation, you can use the manufacturer's instructions or the "installation supervision" service.

How to choose industrial roller gates and other nuances of import substitution

To select the gate, the following parameters should be taken into account:

• Where is the opening, the availability of free space on the sides and lintel. Roller gates for indoor installation are made without insulation and taking into account wind load, they are much cheaper.
• For internal roller gates, there are more options for manufacturing lamellas. There are lamellas with perforation and made of transparent material for viewing the territory.
• For street roller gates, the thermal conductivity of the web and the heating of the engine are taken into account, depending on the region.
• The manufacturer of the gate. It is necessary to take into account the possibility of subsequent repairs and the cost of components. In this matter, of course, it will be more profitable to choose a domestic manufacturer, for example, a rolled gate MBA. The prices are initially lower both for the canvas and for delivery, and there will be no problems with the service.
• The number of cycles of closing /opening the gate. Not all manufacturers install drives that allow frequent use of heavy gates.
• The speed of movement of the canvas and the purpose of the room. High-speed gates are often installed in retail chains, but the cost of such structures is higher.

It should be taken into account that some manufacturers can produce a gate system according to the individual project of the customer. Paint the canvas and guides in a certain color, install additional equipment.

How much does it cost to install large production gates

Installation of industrial roller gates by qualified employees is certainly more expensive than installing conventional garage or office options. But it is better to do everything correctly once and according to the proven technology, than to redo the installation or repair the gate later.

The cost of installation of industrial gates is individual and depends on the size, location region and additional wishes of the customer, which are entered in the measuring sheet. Delivery, travel expenses, rental of special lifting equipment and tour/scaffolding if necessary are taken into account.

And so, do you want to install industrial roller, high-speed, sectional or other gates at your enterprise, warehouse, hangar, parking lot? It is worth considering many nuances of selection and installation, which will be dealt with by an experienced manager and a technical specialist who can come to the measurement and prompt and help with the choice of gates on the spot.
