INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BI-PANEL GATE INSTALLATION (Refer to Figure 12)
The installation of the bi-panel vertical acting gate is the same as the single panel gate,
with the following three exceptions:
• There will be two counterweighted posts welded together for each gate.
• There will be two gate panels; one upper panel and one lower panel.
• The header angle will be attached on the lift side, with the header angle facing
away from the lift.
The upper panel is the FRONT panel. As the gate is assembled on the floor, the upper
panel will be placed in the lower guide channel (the one closest to the floor). The
LOWER panel will be placed in the top set of guide channels.
The lower panel will be the only panel that will have Unistrut channels for the interlock
status switch activating cam and/or the interlock strike.
Use the installation instructions for a single panel vertical acting gate as a guide line.
RAMP OPTION
1. When a ramp is used, the gate will need additional space from the bottom of the
gate panel to the floor in order for the ramp will clear.
2. Position the front edge (highest edge) of the ramp 1” from the edge of the lift
platform.
3. Secure the ramp in position using concrete anchor bolts (expansion) at each
mounting tab. The installer supplies these bolts.
