The IEPPFG1880-ANG is a double, retractable folding gate designed to secure wide openings such as loading docks, service doors, hallways, and entrances while preserving visibility and airflow. When deployed, it provides a robust barrier with a compact footprint, and the fold-away design allows the gate to move completely out of the way for unobstructed access. The unit weighs approximately 200 lbs per side and is built to cover widths from 16' to 18', with an extended height of 7' 6" and a collapsed height of 8". Its construction emphasizes rigidity and durability, featuring a heavy-duty 12-gauge steel vertical frame paired with 14-gauge steel webbing, all finished in galvanized coating to resist rust and simplify cleaning. Gates are mounted on sturdy brackets and include solid steel casters for repositioning, with bearing washers supplied to aid smooth operation.
Key design elements include a double-gate configuration that folds and pivots on its mounts, enabling quick opening and close-off of large openings without compromising air circulation or light. The galvanized finish and heavy-gauge materials provide reliable performance in busy facilities, while the lattice uses 14-gauge steel U-channel webbing riveted with aircraft-quality aluminum rivets for added strength. The system ships unassembled, and installation relies on provided mounting brackets; lag bolts and padlocks are not included, so you can source compatible locking hardware and fasteners to fit your site requirements.
Typical use scenarios include securing receiving doors, lift-up doors, and interior or exterior hallways where passing pedestrians or equipment must move freely. Compatibility notes indicate this is a double-gate configuration designed for 16'–18' wide openings and an 8' collapsed height, expanding to 7' 6" when extended. Consider ongoing maintenance by verifying that the gate remains properly aligned and that the mounting hardware is secure after installation. For customization, custom powder coating options are available by consultation, enabling adaptation to specific color or corrosion-resistance needs without altering core dimensions or function.
