Overview: Tymetal Corp., a Fort Miller Group Company, designs and manufactures the most extensive line of perimeter security automatic gates and accessories for the Commercial/Industrial and the Correctional markets. Security gates and electric gate operators manufactured by the Tymetal Corp. include aluminum gates, cantilever gates, slide gates, crash gates, barrier gates, steel gates, ornamental gates, high speed gate operators, detention equipment, electric gate operators, sliding gate operators, chain link gates, and vertical lift gates.
Applications include access control, industrial/commercial perimeter security, correctional facilities, port authority, prison security, military base and airport security. Since 1985, Tymetal automatic gate systems are known for being the highest quality electric gate system available featuring high strength interlocking aluminum extrusions and truck assemblies with stainless steel bearings to ensure longevity. Factory quality control with certified welders and process results in a gate that will glide effortlessly and stand up to inclement weather conditions better than any other automatic gate system alternative.
Openings to 30', the Fortress Heavy Duty Slide Gate, manufactured by Tymetal Corp., is the highest quality cantilever gate system available. This slide gate is suitable for manual or automatic gate operation and has been installed at thousands of perimeter security projects across the USA. These gates comply with the latest industry safety standards for automatic gates (UL 325 and ASTM F2200) and are appropriate for single gate openings up to 30 feet (up to 60 feet for double gates). Tymetal cantilever gates can be operated by a variety of electric gate operators (chain or hydraulic drive).
Openings to 40, the Fortress Structural Slide Gate, manufactured by Tymetal Corp., is a cantilever system of unique double track design appropriate for openings up to 40 feet for singles and up to 80 feet for doubles.
Openings to 60, the Fortress Box Frame Slide Gate, manufactured by Tymetal Corp., is a cantilever system designed to handle the forces of gravity and wind, using box frame construction and stainless steel cable. Diagonal cross members eliminate lateral sway while numerous design features necessary for single gates with widths up to 60 feet, 120 feet for doubles, address potential stresses on the gate.
Fortress Ornamental Gates are adaptable to nearly any type of Tymetal gate configuration and are the perfect choice for closures that need security with an attractive design and finish. Some options of gate choices available include: heavy duty, structural and box frame cantilever slide gate, swing gates and vertical lift gates, just to name a few.
Openings to 40, the entire gate package is comprised of standard components. These components are pre-tested as a system to assure compatibility and to expedite design and delivery while also reducing installation errors and facility maintenance requirements.
Openings to 40, the Fortress Heavy Duty Overhead Slide Gate, manufactured by Tymetal Corp., solves closure requirements that are particularly rigorous. Truly a specialty gate, the Heavy Duty Overhead Slide Gate is made to withstand greater than normal stresses in very large openings. The installation method is versatile, as the gate may remain freestanding or may be hung between three pairs of 4" OD posts with a structural steel support beam or wall mounted with the appropriate support system.
Openings to 250, the Fortress Box Frame Roller Gate, manufactured by Tymetal Corp., represents a dramatic break-through in the design, construction and performance of large roller gates by using a specially designed wheel system. Openings up to 400 feet have been protected using this design. When the gate is operating under normal load, the wheels run on the flat surfaces of the top and side of a W4 x 13 steel beam. As wind begins to put lateral pressure on the gate, the width of the wheel system and its low center of gravity tends to keep the gate in place. However, when the wind load is strong enough to cause the wheels to lift from the beam, the safety clips come in contact with the underside of the top flange of the track and the gate remains safely anchored to the ground.
Openings to 83, the Tymetal Telescoping Box Frame Roller Gate (patent pending) is a ground track roller gate that includes an internal extension gate frame which allows smaller gates to close bigger openings. For example an 60' opening could be closed with a gate that has an overall length of less than 37' (prior cantilever designs would have required 90')!
Openings to 60, Tymetal's Fortress Vertical Lift Gate is specified in cases of high usage, especially when there is insufficient space outside of the gate opening for an overhead or cantilever gate to retract before hitting an obstacle. The heavy construction of the superstructure, combined with a drive chain mechanism, lifts the gate open and pulls the gate closed.
Openings to 24 (Doubles to 48). the Fortress Swing Gate is specified when the site configuration does not allow for full movement of a slide gate and its counterbalance. Swing gates are typically used between two buildings or where the ground rises or falls sharply away from the outer side of the gate post.
The Tymetal 2150 Pedestrian Swing Gate is a secure, fully assembled pre-hung system that is easy to install. It is available with a variety of in-fill and locking options.
The FIGS is a slide gate that has been crash tested for openings up to 24 based on U.S. Department of State (DOS) vehicle crash performance guidelines and has a K-4 rating.
The vertical Pivot Arm is certified by the United States Department of State (DOS) as an Active Drop Arm / Bar Vehicle Barrier. The Vertical Pivot Arm received a DOS rating of K-12. Clear openings up to 17 feet (Arm) and 15 feet (Gate)
