Application

The CSG 10604 is ideally suited for high-security environments such as schools, airports, dockyards, and data security centers, where rapid, reliable access control is essential. Its innovative trackless bi-folding design allows for quick opening and closing—typically within four to six seconds—without the need for ground or overhead tracks, making it perfect for locations with limited space or complex ground conditions. The gate’s unique chain and sprocket folding mechanism, coupled with a sinusoidal drive action, ensures smooth and efficient operation even in extreme weather. Designed for continuous use with a 100% duty cycle, the CSG 10604 offers a low-power, low-wind-impact solution that enhances safety and durability. Available with both surface and subfix installation options, customizable to any entrance size and RAL colour, and equipped with safety features such as electrical rubber safe edges, this UK-built gate is a versatile, secure, and aesthetically adaptable choice for critical infrastructure and busy public facilities.

Description

The CSG 10604 Trackless Bi-Folding Speed Gate is the fourth-generation folding security gate developed by Cova Security Gates—representing the most versatile, efficient, and cost-effective vehicular access control solution in its class.

Designed with innovation at its core, this high-performance bi-folding gate offers a secure, rapid-access solution without the need for an overhead structure or ground track, making it ideal for a wide range of high-security applications including schools, airports, dockyards, and data security centres.

This advanced trackless bi-folding security gate utilises a unique folding system housed within the top of the post-hung leaf. It transfers rotational movement through a 2:1 mechanical linkage, driven by a compact 270-degree crank arm and torque motor system. This mechanism ensures smooth, fast gate operation via a sinusoidal drive action—achieving opening and closing speeds from just six seconds, with enhanced performance in high wind zones through more powerful drive options.

With a 100% duty cycle, the CSG 10604 is built for continuous operation, making it an exceptional choice over traditional hinged or sliding gates in terms of operational security, efficiency, and long-term reliability. This gate system is structurally robust, constructed from RHS steel section stiles, with fully welded frames and customisable infill options to match existing fencing. It’s also available in any RAL colour to blend seamlessly into its surroundings.

Installation is designed for minimal disruption: with no requirement for ground tracks, the gate significantly reduces foundation costs and suits both surface and sub-surface mounting options. Whether installed on an existing surface or as part of a new development, the CSG 10604 offers unrivaled flexibility.

Additional safety and security features include:

  • Mechanical locking in both open and closed positions.
  • Manual or automatic control options.
  • Electrical rubber safety edges to detect obstructions and halt motion.
  • Weather-resilient performance, even in extreme conditions.

Every gate is hand-built in the UK to exacting standards, with full warranty, service, and maintenance support offered through the Cova After Care team. Trusted by critical infrastructure sites worldwide, the CSG 10604 Trackless Bi-Folding Security Gate stands as a reliable and sophisticated solution for environments where fast, controlled, and secure vehicle access is essential.
