Preventative Maintenance

Why Preventative Maintenance Matters

Every gate, operator, and control system is only as strong as its weakest component. Regular maintenance ensures:

• Zero downtime through early detection of mechanical or electrical issues
• UL-325 & ASTM F2200 compliance for gate and barrier safety
• Optimized performance and extended system lifespan
• Lower total cost of ownership versus reactive repairs
• Consistent reliability for mission-critical and high-security sites

Comprehensive Service Coverage

1. Automated Gates & Gate Operators

   • Inspect hinges, rollers, chains, and guide tracks
   • Test motors, gearboxes, belts, and clutch assemblies
   • Verify safety loops, photo eyes, and limit switches
   • Clean, lubricate, and tension all moving parts
   • Test control circuits, relays, and VFD operation

2. Crash Barriers & Wedge Systems

   • Check hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, hoses, and actuators
   • Inspect barrier alignment and weld integrity
   • Test PLC sequences, interlocks, and emergency stop systems
   • Verify position sensors, limit switches, and lights
   • Review structural and foundation stability

3. Crash Bollards

   • Test retractable and fixed bollard operation
   • Inspect for leaks, corrosion, or misalignment
   • Validate synchronization with gate and control logic
   • Confirm manual override and fail-safe functions

4. Automation & Control Stations

   • Inspect PLCs, relays, contactors, and wiring
   • Backup logic and verify input/output performance
   • Test HMI panels, safety interlocks, and indicators
   • Clean and seal enclosures for weatherproofing
   • Update labeling, schematics, and documentation

Our integration process includes custom programming, wiring, communication setup, and testing to ensure all subsystems — from power to logic controls — operate flawlessly as a unified platform.

Why It Matters

A well-integrated gate system prevents operational conflicts and enhances security by:

• Eliminating unauthorized access and cross-traffic
• Coordinating multiple gates or barriers in true sally-port logic
• Providing emergency override and fail-safe operation
• Reducing downtime through automated fault detection
• Allowing real-time control and monitoring through a central interface or cloud-based system
