Series 8000 Gates

All Series 8000 gates are fully fabricated, assembled and ship ready for immediate installation. A full range of mechanical and electrical access control hardware and closers can be designed and integrated into the gate under factory controlled conditions.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Standard Series 8000 gate frames are manufactured from 2 in. square x 3/16 in. wall heavy steel tubing with 4 in. posts. The posts can be round schedule 40 (typical for chain link) or square heavy wall (ornamental). Cross-bracing between the posts above and below the gate frame provides rigidity,
squareness and stability during transportation and installation. The gate is welded to the door frame
with Elite Power Hinges. These hinges are heavy-duty and super quiet with double ball bearings that pivot on a 3/4 in. ground and tempered solid stainless steel shaft. They are maintenance-free and self lubricating to provide long life with free gate movement. The weight capacity per pair is 1000 lb. For gates installed between existing columns or posts, we apply the same fit-for-use and installation friendly principles. Our pre-fabricated hinge plates include either fixed or adjustable barrel hinges  with the mating requirements either pre-drilled or fabricated onto the opposing half of the gate frame.
At installation, it is only a matter of determining location, then drilling and lagging the hinge plate to the column or post followed by hanging the pre-set gate frame. The completed product is available with either a galvanized or powder coated finish to match the aesthetics of the project. Material substitutions are welcome and our design team will assist with custom drawings and specifications to meet your specific application.

Simple Installation

Series 8000 gate installation is simply a matter of setting the two posts in concrete piers. The bottom
cross-brace is removed or set in a shallow trench excavated between the footings. The gate is then
inserted into the footing, braced upright and concrete poured. Where magnetic latches or electronic access control features are pre-assembled, all wiring is run at the factory and fed through a ¾ in. coupling 6 in. below grade on the latch side of the gate.

Ornamental and Custom Filler Materials

From the simple to the complex, virtually all filler options conceivable can be incorporated into this line of gates. As with all your gate needs, you can count on our engineering team and custom fabrication shop to provide design, product specifications and the manufacturing support you need.

Warranty

Series 8000 gates include a 5-year limited warranty.

Series 8600 Gates

Series 8600 gate frames are made from durable structural aluminum or steel and fabricated by AWS certified welders and welding procedures. Each gate is custom fabricated to our exacting standards and braced with solid gusset plates to maintain squareness and rigidity. Stainless steel aircraft truss cable assemblies with adjustable turnbuckles are installed throughout the entire gate length to provide both significant and fine tuning adjustments.
Hinge vertical members are from heavy wall tubing, predrilled and sleeved for the mating hinge. In chain link applications, both end vertical members are reinforced with horizontal bracing and an additional vertical support member for greater chain link tension. Internal primary and intermediate vertical members are sized to the application to provide superior stability and sway resistance

Hinges and the XLG Support Package

We have a full line of hinge assemblies for Series 8600 gates that range up to a 3,000 lb. capacity per hinge. Our engineering team is very experienced at adapting or creating new designs for unique applications. We look forward to providing the solution to your challenge. The Series 8600 XLG
Support Package is used to support and control gate elevation. This package consists of an upper truss cable assembly (either one or two depending on panel length), a hinge-end vertical member extension, an extended gate post, brackets and an upper hinge.
Using the XLG Package extends the vertical hinge member to add an additional hinge above the gate.
Opposite this hinge is a mounting bracket that swings with the gate and has a stainless steel aircraft truss cable attached. This cable extends approximately 2/3 of the gate length, which is then attached
to a turnbuckle and bracket welded to the top horizontal member. The turnbuckle can then adjust
the gate to the correct elevation.

Note to Architects and Engineers

Post and footing sizes and specifications are functions of state and local specifications and regulations, soil conditions, wind load, size and weight of the gate, wind blockage of the infill and potentially other job-specific conditions. As such, we do not provide these details generically. Actual design and specifications must be determined specifically for the project by Master Halco, the Architect, Engineer of Record or other technically capable resources.
