Vertical Pivot Gates – Commercial Solutions by 78 Fence

At 78 Fence, we’re committed to providing innovative and reliable solutions for your property’s access control and security needs. Through our experience, we are fully capable to install Vertical Pivot Gates, an innovative access control solution designed for efficiency, durability, and high security. Unlike traditional swing gates, Vertical Pivot Gates require minimal space and provide faster operation, making them an excellent choice for commercial, industrial, and high-security applications.

What are vertical pivot gates?

A Vertical Pivot Gate is a gate system that opens by rotating vertically on a pivot point, allowing it to rise up and out of the way. This eliminates the need for wide clearance areas required by swing gates or sliding gates. The counterbalanced design ensures smooth operation, even in high-traffic environments.

Vertical Pivot Gates vs. Vertical Lift Gates

Feature Vertical Pivot Gates Vertical Lift Gates
Operation Rotates upward on a pivot point Lifts straight up with vertical posts
Space Requirement     Requires minimal clearance space at the sides Requires overhead space above the gate
Ideal for Uneven terrain, limited side space Areas with overhead clearance and heavy-duty security needs
Installation Easier to install, fewer structural modifications Requires vertical support columns and extensive foundation
Speed Fast and efficient opening Typically slower due to vertical lift mechanism

Vertical Pivot Gates are the preferred choice when side space is limited, while Vertical Lift Gates work best for high-security areas with sufficient overhead clearance. Pivot gates are often more cost-effective and easier to install, while lift gates provide maximum security in industrial environments.

Advantages of vertical pivot gates

  • Space efficiency – Unlike swing gates that require extensive clearance, vertical pivot gates lift upward, making them ideal for areas with limited space.
  • Fast and easy operation – Designed for quick entry and exit, reducing wait times and improving traffic flow.
  • High security – Constructed from durable materials like steel or aluminum, offering strong resistance to forced entry.
  • Weather resilience – Performs reliably in extreme weather conditions, including snow, ice, and high winds, where traditional gates may struggle.
  • Versatile installation – Can be installed on uneven terrain or areas where traditional gates would be difficult to implement.
  • Automated access control – Can be integrated with security systems, including keypads, RFID access, card readers, and remote control operations.
  • Durability and low maintenance – Built to last with heavy-duty materials, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Key features of vertical pivot gates

  • Custom fabrication options – Available in steel or aluminum with multiple design choices, including ornamental styles for aesthetic appeal.
  • Heavy-duty pivot mechanism – Engineered for smooth, reliable operation, even with frequent use.
  • Automated operation – Can be paired with a variety of access control systems such as keypads, card readers, remote controls, and timers.
  • Battery backup & safety features – Operates during power outages with an optional backup battery system and includes safety sensors to prevent accidents.
  • Weather-resistant coatings – Corrosion-resistant finishes to withstand harsh weather conditions and extend longevity.
  • Strong concrete footings – Installed with reinforced concrete bases for stability and long-term durability.
  • Quiet and efficient performance – Designed to operate smoothly with minimal noise, ideal for both commercial and residential applications.

Applications for vertical pivot gates

Vertical Pivot Gates are widely used in industries and locations where security and space efficiency are top priorities. Common applications include:

  • Industrial facilities – Protect manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers.
  • Military and government sites – Ensure high-security access control.
  • Commercial properties – Provide a secure, professional entrance for business complexes.
  • Parking lots and garages – Control vehicle access efficiently in high-traffic areas.
  • Public utilities – Secure water treatment plants, electrical substations, and telecom facilities.
  • Gated communities – Enhance security and convenience for residential neighborhoods.
