Standard Heights
We are able to offer 80in, 84in, and 96in high carriage gates as standard. Custom heights can be made, but through some of the features highlighted below, we think you should be able to avoid custom heights in most cases.
Two Standard Widths
With other carriage gate products, you need to specify the number of panels or width of the gate fairly closely. This makes a gate fairly job-specific.
A2P is proud to offer a sliding product that has 2 standard widths: 36in and 45in. Due to the telescopic sliding panel arrangement, the panels automatically adjust to the width you need, up to the maximum.
You simply need to set the stops in the upper track when you install the gate, and this too, can be seen in the provided installation manual.
Multi-Sliding Panel Design
Most are familiar with 2 and 3 panel sliding doors in modern elevators. This option takes that premise, and then applies it to carriage gates for residential elevators.
Through some innovative designs, this product has avoided the stumbling blocks of space and cost for standard sliding doors.
4 and 5 panel carriage gates can be deployed while still meeting the 3/4 x 4 code requirements in ASME A17.1/ CSA B44 - 2016.
Support System
This is a unique design and a very compact arrangement for a multi-panel gate arrangement while still maintaining a rigid structure.
Lower Track Included
Other gates suppliers may ask you to purchase the track separately in odd lengths.
These gate assemblies come with the lower track included with the correct length for the maximum gate opening. The track can still be modified to a short length easily, but you won't have to determine if you have off-cuts sitting around from a previous order.
Anodized Aluminum Panel Frames
6063 aluminum extrusions are used as the structural members of these gates with an clear anodized coating. This is the kind of high-end architectural product that fits well with virtually any elevator cab interior.
Finished Flooring Adjustable
In most cases, the finished flooring will have a significant impact on the finished interior height of the elevator cab. Due to the fact that, other products mount from the ceiling interior which affects the height you need to specify.
Often, elevator flooring has not been decided until late in the cycle and this can put your carriage gate on the critical path....not a great place to be when the supplier slips on their delivery dates.
These gates have the upper mounting on the top of the carriage, and as such, the whole gate assembly can be shifted up if the flooring thickness increases beyond expectations.
Just another little feature that makes it easier to work with!
Panel Finishes
With a number of standard panel finishes, you will find just the right accent for your elevator carriage design while maintaining a competitive cost position and code compliance.
