The result, the Fortress Gate® System, is a fully adjustable, cantilever slide gate system that outperforms any other gate available today. In fact, it leads the market. Opening widths from 3 to 60 feet (or double gate widths from 6 to 120 feet) can be accommodated utilizing Tymetal’s cantilever slide gates. Wider openings can be accommodated with Tymetal’s roller wheel construction (openings up to 400’ at our nations busiest airports have been closed using Tymetal Corp. roller gates). Regardless of the configuration, Fortress gates® combine aesthetic appeal with rugged performance. Fortress Gate® Systems embody quality, safety and security that are unsurpassed. Because they require minimal maintenance and provide long-term reliability, Fortress Gate® Systems guarantee very low lifetime operational costs and, dollar-for-dollar, defy any comparison. WHY THE FORTRESS GATE® SYSTEM IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET DURABLE AND STRONG Tymetal’s Fortress Gate® Systems are durable and strong by design. They combine the beauty and performance of aluminum with the strength of steel. The aluminum used for gate components includes some of the strongest alloys commercially available combining strength and workability characteristics. Stainless steel cross brace cables provide additional strength and rigidity. EASY TO OPERATE In order for an aluminum cantilever slide gate to operate easily, it must combine strength, rigidity and a smooth gliding movement. With the Fortress Gate® System, sag is virtually eliminated and very little effort is needed to open or close the gate. The gate rides on rugged roller assemblies inside the track. The trucks glide on sealed ball bearings and horizontal nylon wheels minimize side-to-side movement. The enclosed track shelters the truck assemblies from inclement weather — including snow, ice, blown sand, dirt and seaspray. The continuous ease of operation allows the specification of electric operators with reduced power and load requirements. FULLY ADJUSTABLE Tymetal’s Fortress System remains the only fully adjustable gate available. The use of a stainless steel cross brace allows for fine-tuning adjustment to keep the gate properly aligned. PERMANENT GOOD LOOKS Every visible surface of the Fortress Gate® System is aluminum, which resists staining and corrosion and ensures that the gates will retain their superior appearance for years. All fasteners are made of corrosion-resistant steel and all other hardware of ferrous material is hot-dip galvanized. When chain link filler is utilized, standard height chain link fabric, matching the adjoining fence, is stretched and tied to the gate frame. If the added security of barbed wire is specified, extension arms are easily added to the system, either when the gate is first erected or at a later date. SAFETY BY DESIGN Industry safety standards now require gates to be constructed with a focus
on prevention of injuries to the gate user. Tymetal’s enclosed track/truck
system eliminates pinch points without the need for special covers or modifications.
Our slide gate design includes smooth edges to remove the hazards of leading
or bottom-edge protrusions. ORNAMENTAL GATES Tymetal offers a wide range of ornamental choices. We can match a variety of fence panel configurations. Curved pickets, circles, letters and finials are other decorative components available to add that special look to any of our ornamental gates. Finishes available are standard mill or baked-on powder coating in standard or custom colors. CUSTOMIZED GATES Tymetal has proven time and again that it has the solution to close openings.
On those occasions when a single-frame cantilever slide gate is not appropriate
for a specific site or operating requirements, Tymetal will engineer and manufacture
a gate that matches your needs exactly. We listen to all of our customers and
design our product to meet their needs.
CAD SERVICE Tymetal offers a complete line of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) services, from the conceptual stages of your project to the final submittal drawings.
