Fire-rated gates

Sliding, roller, sectional, vertical-lift, folding and high-speed fire-rated gates for industrial and logistics buildings. Which configuration suits you depends on opening size, available space and frequency of use — we plan, supply, install and maintain all common systems from Hörmann, Novoferm and Teckentrup.

What is a fire-rated gate?

Fire-rated gates separate large openings in industrial and logistics buildings — between two fire compartments of a production hall, at loading docks, or between warehouse and dispatch. They are tested as a complete assembly, classified to EN 13501-2 and tied to the wall classification. In daily use they are held open by hold-open systems and close automatically on smoke detection. Which gate type is correct depends on opening size, available space, frequency of use and existing structure — and is set out in the building's fire protection concept.

↳ Configurations

Six configurations for every industrial application.

Each configuration has a specific use case. We advise which gate fits your hall, your opening and your construction sequence.

01

Sliding gate

Runs sideways — ideal for halls with large spans and sufficient wall area beside the opening.

02

Roller gate

Rolls up to save space. First choice where space is limited and at loading docks.

03

Sectional gate

Panel sections, ceiling-tracked. Standard solution in logistics and at ramps.

04

Vertical-lift gate

Vertical opening — suitable for halls with overhead cranes, gantry cranes or high-bay storage.

05

Folding gate

Folds together. Solution for special installation situations with limited space on both sides.

06

High-speed gate

Cycle-controlled, high opening speed. For high-frequency logistics with frequent gate transits.
