The Cova SpeedMaster TLS (CSG 10605) Bi-Folding Trackless Gate is the fifth-generation bi-folding gate, 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 Cova SpeedMaster TLS 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 Cova SpeedMaster TL, which features a top-mounted chain folding system, the Cova SpeedMaster TLS 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 Cova SpeedMaster TLS 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.

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.
