GATE

Flood protection gate

Deployment in as little as 8 seconds

Quick-closing flood protection gate.

The flood protection gate is ideal for people with back pain who cannot lift heavy objects, or those with problems affecting their hand joints. Once the gate leaf has been fitted, all that is needed when an emergency alert arrives is to close it using the special lever handle, without effort.

Materials:

  • Anticorodal aluminium construction with standard silver/natural anodised finish
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 305 x 80 H
  • 225 x 100 H
  • 175 x 120 H
  • 155 x 140 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 45 x 40 H

*Measurements in centimetres. Possible widths for the specified height

PLEASE NOTE: for greater widths, additional units can be positioned side by side using a fixed post, which can also connect to removable devices. Alternatively, choose GATEduo to protect larger openings.

Other features

  • Flood-proof gate equipped with top handles that allow it to be easily removed when not in use, if necessary. The gate is designed to open exclusively outward.
  • Sample No. 001, measuring 305 x 100 cm, was tested by TÜV SÜD
  • The flood protection gate is fitted from outside towards the protected space. It can also be fitted while the user is inside.
  • Suitable for ground-floor, basement or underground openings in houses and villas, as well as garages or vehicle shelters, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • The flood protection gate can be fitted when needed in front of doors, industrial doors, up-and-over doors, sectional doors, roller shutters, vehicle gates and pedestrian gates.
  • It can be used as a splash guard against water or snow in front of an entrance facing a street or other high-traffic area, or simply to slow down flooding.
  • This is a very important factor to assess carefully before purchasing the device, especially if several devices need to be deployed in an emergency: the GATE flood protection gate can be deployed in as little as 8 seconds.

I choose the GATE flood protection gate because the designers have solved these issues for me:

Unobstructed access

The leaf can be removed and refitted when needed.

Hinges adjustable in height only.

Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 (Construction Products Regulation, or CPR).

We use a hinge whose fasteners remain protected and concealed by cover plates when the door is closed.

  • Thanks to its rebate, it provides excellent sealing security.
  • At a suitable height to remove access barriers for people with disabilities, with the source reference “art. ex 13/1989” (Italy only).

NOTE: In some countries, a flat profile of appropriate width and 5 mm thickness must be installed on the underside and on the side facing the area to be protected.

  • RAPID designers have developed an original frame shape that makes it easier to apply sealing pressure to the door leaf.
  • Simple and strong fastening at the same time

It is typically lightweight thanks to the special self-lubricating sliders and the unique frame design (2020 model)

RAPID’s original padlock system is simple and effective, and available on request.

Known flaws that were avoided as the original design took shape:

Unnecessary space occupation

The non-removable leaf creates an obstruction in the access opening.

The gaskets attached to the door and the non-removable door cause wear and tear, even when the unit is not being used as a flood protection device.

Hinges for outward opening must, by regulation, be tested.

It is not possible to detach the hinges from the frame or from the leaf when the leaf is closed.

Including through the hole for the optional external operating lever handle mechanism.

With the lowest possible pressure, and suitable where possible for a user with limited mobility in their limbs.

  • Internal and external lever control
  • Padlock system
  • Painting of the frame (excluding the threshold profile) and/or the door panel
  • Up to 2 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Up to 10 years, excluding gaskets

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the opening is a designated safety exit, a safety plan must approve the use of another suitable exit before the flood barrier is fitted. Otherwise, the space to be protected must contain no people or anything else that could be put at risk. Dripping is within the permitted sealing tolerance, although it does not necessarily occur. Additional protective measures are recommended when the device protects hazardous areas.
