  • These security barriers often comprise several barrier structures, such as fence structures and one or several gates such that certain people can access the area when desired. These gates are located between two barrier structures and connected to these barriers structures, such that the security barrier forms one continuous structure.
  • the different barrier structures were mostly fabricated in a fabric and then transported to the place where the security barrier will be placed.

  • At least one of the gate parts comprises three or more gate part portions, while a respective reinforcement beam portion extends inside both hollow beams of each set of two adjoining gate portions.
  • the gate portions are preferably being produced as separate items and being connected to one another to form the first and/or second gate part.
  • the first and second gate part portions have respective end sides facing one another and which are adjoining in coupled position, and wherein said first reinforcement beam portion has a projecting part which protrudes from the end side of the first gate part portion.

  • the first gate part is movable between an open position leaving the passage through the security barrier open and a closed position closing off the passage.
  • the multi-part crash resistant gate comprises a first gate part and a second gate part being movable with respect to one another between an open and closed position.
  • the two gate parts being slidably movable with respect to one another between an open position leaving the said passage through the security barrier open and a closed position closing off the passage.
  • the gate parts In the closed position the gate parts can be connected to each other.
  • the first gate part and the second gate part are both slidably movable with respect to one another in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • each gate part portion is composed of a top horizontal beam portion and a bottom horizontal beam portion and a plurality of vertical elements extending between said beam portions.
  • the multi-part crash resistant gate i.e. both gate parts
  • each gate part has a length between 12 meter and 16 meter.
  • the gate parts preferably also comprise guiding means in order to place the gate parts in an aligned position as they move to the closed position.
  • One gate part for example comprises a guiding body which is extending in the movement direction (the lengthwise direction) of the gate part, and the other gate part comprises an open receiving structure with walls delimiting a receiving space, which is positioned opposite the guiding body and also extending in the direction of movement of the gate parts.
  • the receiving structure preferably comprises stopping means such that the guiding body abuts against the stopping means when the gate parts are in the closed position.
  • the stopping means may for example be provided inside the receiving space.
  • the gate further comprise a locking device for maintaining the gate parts in the closed position.
  • the locking device comprises
  • Each gate part of this sliding gate comprises a respective locking body and the two locking bodies preferably are provided on different levels (at different heights above the surface on which the sliding gate is mounted).
  • the securing element can be placed in a position extending through the respective passages defined by these locking bodies and interconnecting the two gate parts.
  • a force exerted on the front side of the sliding gate (the front side is the side at the outside of the restricted area or building) is transmitted to the securing element by the two locking bodies and results in two forces acting on the securing element at different levels.
  • the securing element firmly locks each movable gate part in place and can withstand heavy impact forces without breaking. Even when the impact forces deform the gate parts, they remain in a closed and interconnected position and the forces are still transferred through the gate material to the supporting structure and/or to the foundations of the sliding gate. This results in a security sliding gate with a very high impact resistance.
