PaliGuard® HD 2.1m x 4.5m Wide Palisade Single Leaf Gate Kit

PaliGuard® 2.1m x 4.5m Wide Palisade Single Leaf Gate Kit

The 2.1m x 4.5m PaliGuard® Gate Kit is a high-security, wide-access powerhouse. Standing at 2.1 metres high, it offers an elevated physical barrier to prevent scaling, while the 4.5-metre width provides one of the largest single-leaf openings available in the palisade market. This kit is specifically designed for perimeters that must accommodate wide-load HGVs, articulated lorries, and heavy plant machinery without the need for a double-leaf system.

By using a single 4.5m leaf, you eliminate centre-road obstructions and ground stops, providing a seamless and highly secure entry point for your most demanding industrial or commercial access routes.

Engineering Advisory: A 4.5m single leaf at this height generates extreme cantilever forces on the hanging post. Consequently, this kit is strictly supplied with ultra-heavy-duty reinforced gate posts and high-tensile adjustable hinges. For ease of transport and site flexibility, it is supplied non-assembled for precision on-site construction.

The PaliGuard® Security Standard

PaliGuard® is the choice for no-compromise site protection. The 2.1m height serves as a formidable vertical deterrent, while the cold-rolled steel pales are engineered with a profile that resists bending and denies foot-holds. Unlike solid gates, the open-pale configuration ensures 100% visibility, allowing security personnel and CCTV systems to maintain clear sightlines through the gate, a vital requirement for monitoring wide entrances where blind spots cannot be tolerated.

Precision Engineering & Finish

• High-Stress Cold-Rolled Steel: To support a 4.5m span without sagging, we use high-tensile steel that offers superior rigidity. This ensures the gate leaf remains level and the locking bolt aligns perfectly with the catch post, even after years of heavy use.
• Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009: Every component, from the pales to the heavy-duty posts, is hot-dip galvanised as standard. This creates a permanent, rust-proof shield that protects the steel from the elements, ensuring a maintenance-free life.
• Professional PPC Finishes: Available in a wide range of RAL colours via our Polyester Powder Coating (PPC) service. This provides a sleek, modern look for corporate sites while adding a secondary layer of protection against weathering.

Why Choose the 4.5m Single-Leaf Kit?

This "Max-Aperture" gate is a strategic choice for high-demand industrial sites:

• Massive Drive-Through Clearance: Comfortable access for wide-axle HGVs, agricultural machinery, and delivery vehicles.
• Unobstructed Entrance: No centre-drop bolts or ground stops are required in the roadway, reducing tyre wear and making it easier for large vehicles to navigate the entrance.
• Simplified Security: A single-leaf gate requires only one automation motor and one locking point, making it a more efficient alternative to double-leaf systems.
• Industrial Hardware: Includes high-load adjustable hinges and a heavy-duty lockable sliding latch designed specifically for the mass and wind-loading of a 4.5m leaf.

Typical Applications

• Major Logistics Hubs: Main service entrances for HGV and wide-load delivery access.
• Heavy Manufacturing: Moving oversized machinery and raw materials into secure yards.
• Emergency Service Depots: Ensuring fail-safe, wide-aperture access for all types of emergency vehicles.
• Agricultural Facilities: Providing secure access for the largest modern tractors and harvesters.

Specialist Technical Support

Installing a 4.5m single-leaf gate requires significant concrete foundations to manage the weight and leverage of the open leaf. Our technical team can provide advice on foundation depths and whether Dig-in or Bolt-down posts are most suitable for your ground type.
