Application

The CSG 10605 Bi-Folding Trackless Gate is ideal for securing compact entrances where space and security are both key considerations. Its trackless design eliminates the need for a ground or overhead track, making it perfect for locations where minimal infrastructure changes are required. This makes it particularly suitable for applications such as domestic properties, gated communities, car parks, and warehouses.

For domestic properties and gated communities, the CSG 10605 offers a seamless integration into the perimeter, enhancing both security and aesthetics. The ability to incorporate decorative toppings like spikes or barbed wire on the level top rail allows the gate to blend into various architectural styles while providing added hostile vehicle mitigation where needed.

In car parks and warehouses, the CSG 10605 ensures smooth vehicular access control, providing a fast operating speed of 6–14 seconds, making it ideal for high-traffic areas that require continuous operation. The 100% duty cycle rating ensures that the gate can handle the demands of frequent use without compromising on reliability. Its compact design and minimal foundation requirements (only 400mm) are perfect for installations in areas with limited space or where the ground is already in use for other infrastructure.

The CSG 10605 Bi-Folding Trackless Gate provides the versatility and durability needed for various high-security applications, all while maintaining a low-profile design that fits seamlessly into a range of environments. Whether for private homes, community access points, or industrial sites, this gate delivers robust security without the bulk or complexity of traditional gates.

Description

The CSG 10605 Bi-Folding Trackless Gate is the fifth-generation bi-folding gate developed by Cova Security Gates Ltd, engineered and manufactured in the UK to provide a reliable, high-performance vehicular access control solution. This automated gate builds on decades of design evolution, offering enhanced mechanical functionality and architectural flexibility, making it a versatile choice for both security and design-led installations.

The 10605 model maintains the core principles of the trackless bi-folding design, requiring no ground or overhead track, which allows for easier installation and lower infrastructure impact. Unlike its predecessor, the CSG 10604, which features a top-mounted chain folding system, the CSG 10605 features a lower-mounted rack and pinion mechanism. This unique adjustment keeps the top rail level, enabling the seamless addition of decorative finials, security toppings like razor wire or power fencing, and preserving aesthetic harmony for installations in heritage buildings or architecturally sensitive environments.

Driven by a powerful motor unit linked to a crank arm assembly, the gate ensures secure locking in both the open and closed positions. The fully welded steel leaf sections and vertical bar infill ensure strength and resistance against forced entry. With an operating speed between 6 and 14 seconds, and a 100% duty cycle rating, the gate is suitable for continuous operation in high-traffic, high-security environments.

Thanks to its trackless functionality and customisation potential, the CSG 10605 Bi-Folding Gate is particularly well-suited to locations where pedestrian and vehicle control are critical, such as airports, schools, dockyards, and data security centres. It is available in a range of RAL colours and can be fitted with safety features and access control systems as required.

For ongoing reliability, Cova also provides full servicing, maintenance, and support through their After Care service team, ensuring long-term peace of mind and performance.

Features and benefits:

  • Manufactured to any entrance size.
  • Mechanical locking with manual or automatic controls.
  • Operates at low and high weather extremes.
  • Certified to the loss prevention standard LPS 1175. 
  • Available in any RAL colour. 
  • Two drive options available, dependent on site and size requirements. 
  • Two installation options: surface fix, for existing surfaces usually within a building or where it is difficult to provide submerged foundations. Or subfix where it is possible to cast new foundations. 
  • The bi-folding method of gate operation requires considerably less power to operate than conventional swing gates and also has less wind effect. This combined with the 270 degree drive results in a relatively lower powered and thus safer drive.
  • Leading edges of the leaves are fitted with electrical rubber safe edges, which if in contact with an obstruction will stop the operation of the gate. 
  • Hand built in the UK.
  • Warranty, service and maintenance available.
