Playgrounds that adjoin parking lots that do not have the required separation, existing curbing or barriers will require a vehicle barrier be placed between the parked cars and the playground. PalmSHIELD's PlaySAFE vehicle barrier is a stout vehicle barrier system to serve as a barrier between cars that may roll forward into the playground where children are playing. The PlaySAFE vehicle barrier not only provides that peace of mind but also incorporate our PlaySAFE playground screening system. PlaySAFE is designed with 6" square steel posts mounted to 10" square steel plates to be anchored to the top of existing concrete or placed on top of concrete piers engineered by others.
An optional W-Beam guardrail system with offset blocks may be mounted to the posts providing even more safety. W-beam guardrail is a kind of road crash barrier used for securing highway safety by preventing errant vehicles from sliding out of the roads and impacting the roadside buildings or other objects. So it is most commonly fixed on the side of the highways, dock areas, aisles, especially on curves and slopes for protection against run-off-road collisions.
Our W-beam guardrail product is formed in accordance with the latest highway safety barrier technology for making sure its high durability and maximum strength. It is made of high quality steel, which reduces the impact force caused by mobile equipment to the maximum extent. Meanwhile, the zinc coating or PVC coating perfectly combined to the W-beam guardrail keeps the products free of damages of corrosion and rust.
Advantages:
Easy installation: just attach the beam directly to the post through the pre-welded blocks.
Prevent vehicles from rolling or travelling at low speeds from entering the play area.
Minimize damage to play area, play equipment and protect others.
High quality material and anti-rust surface for longer service life
Corrosion resistant
Can be easily removed and repaired.
Cable Railings
PalmSHIELD cable systems are designed to be accompanied with code compliant stair grab rails. All of our sections are custom fabricated.

PalmSHIELD Tiger slide gate series combines the appeal of PalmSHIELD's architectural screening options to a commercial cantilever slide gate. This is a uncanny pairing as cantilever slide gates are truly suspended and cantilevered through the opening, not utilizing any ground supports or wheels. This means that the structural design of the gate itself must be considerable, supporting both the weight of the architectural panels and the wind load created.
PalmSHIELD Tiger commercial and industrial slide gates provide a wide array of PalmSHIELD infill options including composite wood, vinyl, aluminum, louvers, perforated and wire mesh. The architectural infill panels are installed into the cantilever slide gate to provide continuity with adjoining screening. Unlike any other commercial slide gate manufacture, PalmSHIELD Tiger commercial slide gates are sweep blasted and powder coated. We offer an endless number of colors.
Unlike standard cantilever slide gates, the PalmSHIELD Tiger series incorporates a much larger structural framework. The vertical framework begins with a 4" x 2" tubular outer framework encapsulating a 3" x 3" interior angle or 2" x 3" tubular U-shaped picture frame. This is an industrial and commercial gate design when aesthetics are critical. The Tiger series utilizes a upper single or double track design based on the weight and length of the opening. The bottom guide is no less than a 5" x 2" tubular member supporting the gate against wind load.
PalmSHIELD Tiger gates are each custom engineered to your tallest and widest openings. PalmSHIELD applies a series of engineering principles, accounting for the effects of the cantilevered load and wind load.

PalmSHIELD VULCAN full-height pre-hung pedestrian swing gate is a proven solution for security applications involving high traffic. Our Vulcan pedestrian swing gate is the perfect solution for K-12, high education, stadiums, apartments, assisted living, manufacturing, food related industries and arenas. Vulcan swing gates are fully customizable with options for panic bars, automatic closures, keyless entry, position switch and other automated access control devices.
Like all PalmSHIELD gates, Vulcan pedestrian swing gates come fully hung with all gate hardware and devices pre-installed. Unlike other one-off gate manufacturers, PalmSHIELD Vulcan swing gates come in endless infill options. You may select from any of PalmSHIELD's louver, privacy, semi-privacy, picketed, welded wire mesh, and other more artistic patterns. Infill materials may vary as well from aluminum, stainless steel, composite and vinyl. Vulcan swing gates may be designed to incorporate into any of our architectural louvered screening.
PalmSHIELD's Vulcan pedestrian swing gates are engineered to your openings. We apply a series of engineering principles, accounting for the effects of the cantilevered load, wind load and continuous duty application. No need to worry about future failed or sagging gates with our fully welded tubular framework. PalmSHIELD has successfully built thousands of gates over the last thirty years.
PalmSHIELD understands commercial and industrial gates rely on the little things for continued operation. PalmSHIELD incorporates their own custom designed Gorilla hinges. These are not your ordinary hinges. Our industrial gate hinges utilize half inch thick bearing plates attached to a two inch wide stainless steel barrel. Our commercial gates are too good for unsightly padlocks and wearing slide bolts. Only PalmSHIELD offers an internal commercial locking system with our Locinox re-keyable stainless steel and brushed aluminum locks. To hold our gates in-place, PalmSHIELD incorporates a one inch schedule forty and padlock-able drop pin on every commercial and industrial gate leaf.

Hardware
Exterior flatwork is anything but flat. That's right, we recognize that all exterior paving is sloped for drainage. Just when you think you everything was level, you discover your site paving drops ever so slightly. When this happens, you have to shim under your base plates. Owners and designers expect something more than a stack of nickels and washers. The finished design should look intentional and well thought-out.
PalmSHIELD has exactly what you need to provide that finished professional look. PalmSHIELD offers shims in two styles to be installed individually or in combination. A full-side shim for managing slopes running perpendicular or parallel to your screening run. Corner-only shims for managing slopes running diagonal to your screening runs. For more severe slopes that run diagonal, a combination of a full-side and corner-only shims may be necessary.
PalmSHIELD recognizes it is difficult to know exactly what you need. Shims are available in kits. Each kit includes three shims of the same style. The three shims will be of different thicknesses: 1/16″, 1/8″ & ¼" For more severe slopes, you may need to stack several shims or request thicker shims. Thicker shims may have a longer lead time.
All shims are fabricated from ASTM A653 galvanized sheet and then powder coated black. You may simply touch-up the sides with touch-up paint included with your PalmSHIELD screening. OR. You may request the shims be custom coated to match your PalmSHIELD screening color.
Your install cannot wait. You need shims now to keep rolling. PalmSHIELD's shim stack kits are in-stock and available for immediate shipment. Please contact your PalmSHIELD representative for customer assistance.
PalmSHIELD incorporates the Locinox FortyLock mortise lock into all of our gates. These industrial and polished 100% stainless steel locksets include a keyable cylinder and auto-latching mechanism. Our signature Sampson and Maximus gate frame designs require a unique locking mechanism that can accommodate a much wider door. These unique gate locks prevent the gate from being both pulled apart or forced opened.
The Locinox lockset provides a common keyable cylinder, auto latch bolt, a very stout hook latch and is re-keyable. It is available in brushed aluminum and stainless-steel finishes to complement our aluminum gate series.
PalmSHIELD utilizes DAC Industries, Inc. for their wide selection of panic bar options. You can find one that's perfect for your project with their reliable and versatile product lines.

The key function of drop rods is to lock a swing gate into position by dropping a metal rod into a hole in the ground. Drop rods are much easier to install on a large gate than a regular locking handle would be because you can make a larger hole to deal with alignment issues. If you are installing a double swing gate, you will need to install a cane bolt on one leaf of the gate so that it can be locked into position for the other leaf to latch against. You will simply need to dig a hole in the ground, and then line it with steel tubing or buy a ground stop.
PalmSHIELD's standard keyed internal latch is unlike any other. Our latch is keyed and accessible from both sides, and requires that it be unlocked from the same side it was locked from. The locking mechanism is also completely internal, so no need for an unsightly padlock. Only the chrome handles are face mounted on PalmSHIELD's standard latch.
PalmSHIELD has designed its own line of industrial hinges: The Gorilla Hinge. This hinge uses a half inch thick plate to mount to both the gate and gate post. The Gorilla Hinge has a slight offset on the hinge plates to allow the gate to slightly close past full close. This intended design quirk was incorporated because we realize that not everything happens exactly like you want it to in the field. We empathize with potential field irregularities and believe it is our responsibility to find a solution to offer our customers some flexibility.
