When a standard gate does not fit the space.
Folding and telescopic gates for special entrances
Limited side space, an unusual entrance or special workflows may require a bespoke gate. We assess the site and develop a solution based on the available space.
Planning & possibilities
Thought through to the last detail.
Telescopic gates with multiple leaves
In telescopic systems, multiple leaves move in coordination. This can change the required side runback. Guidance, operators and foundations must be designed for the specific structure.
Special gate constructions compared
| System | Principle | When assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Telescopic gate | Several coordinated, laterally moving leaves | When the side runback is insufficient for a standard leaf |
| Adapted counterbalance | Custom design of the cantilever counterbalance section | For unusual site and entrance conditions |
| Folding gate | Folding leaves with their own movement geometry | For restricted movement areas and special applications |
| Special operator | Coordinated operator and control technology | For unusual opening sequences or complex installations |
Folding gates and special leaf layouts
Folding designs or asymmetric leaves can suit some properties. Movement space and intended use are decisive. Feasibility can only be determined after checking dimensions and terrain.
Planning scope & options
| Area | Coordination |
|---|---|
| Geometry | Custom width and height, asymmetric leaves and individual opening type |
| Use | Residential, commercial, industrial or special security requirements |
| Automation | Radio, smartphone, access, industrial or security controls as compatible |
| Structure | Foundations, guides, infill and necessary safety devices |
| Installation | Our own teams in Berlin by agreement; other regions on request |
Develop structure and automation together
A custom counterbalance, guide or operator affects the whole gate. We consider infill, weight, controls and safety devices together.
The basis for an initial assessment
Send photos, a dimensioned sketch and the required clear opening. Side spaces, slope and intended use also matter. These determine which solutions we can develop for your site.
Identify special requirements early
A wide opening, narrow driveway or fixed opening sequence calls for different designs. We assess whether a space-saving solution is technically appropriate. Custom dimensions require coordinated guidance, weight, drive and foundations.
Planning before structural commitment
Photos and a dimensioned sketch form the basis. Slope, side clearance and intended use are also needed before a suitable version can be developed and offered.
Views to help you choose
Special gates as standalone access solutions.
No new fence required: we plan folding and special gates for existing entrances. Images show gate examples; construction and design are assessed per project.

Your questions. Clearly answered.
Can a special gate be built for every entrance?
Feasibility depends on space, structure, terrain and use. We check these before making a specific commitment.
What information do you need?
Location, photos, opening dimensions, side clearances, slope and desired controls are helpful.
What is an adapted counterbalance?
The balancing section of a cantilever sliding gate is designed for a special site. This is bespoke engineering, not simply shortening a standard gate.
Are powered special gates possible?
Yes, with a suitable structure, coordinated operators and controls can be provided. Functions and safety devices are defined for each project.
