The Illinois Engineered Products SSG970-ANG Retractable Folding Gate is a single, space-saving barrier designed to secure 8 to 9 ft wide openings such as loading docks, hallways, and entryways while preserving access, visibility, and airflow. It features a heavy-duty construction with a 12-gauge steel vertical frame and 14-gauge steel lattice webbing, all finished in galvanized coating for durability, corrosion resistance, and easier maintenance. When retracted, the gate pivots on its mounts to move completely out of the way, helping to minimize obstruction in active work zones.
Key construction details support reliable performance in demanding environments. The unit ships unassembled, with mounting brackets, a bearing washer, and solid steel casters included to simplify installation. It is designed to lose 6 inches of height when extended, producing a 6' 6" expanded height from a 7' collapsed profile. The lattice is composed of heavy-duty 14-gauge steel U-channel webbing riveted with aircraft-quality aluminum rivets, delivering a robust barrier that permits light and air passage while maintaining security. Gate locks with a padlock hasp and a lockable drop pin provide controlled access; however, lag bolts and the padlock itself are not included, so customers can select hardware that fits their specific site requirements.
This single-gate solution is suitable for securing receiving doors, lift-up doors, hallways, and entryways where maintaining visibility and ventilation matters. When selecting this product, consider the required opening width (8'–9'), the need for a retractable, out-of-the-way barrier, and the installation context to ensure the included mounting hardware and casters align with surface and framing conditions.
