Project Focus: Cleone Foods

Equipment Installed
- 13.5m wide power operated Viscount gate
Client Goals
High security gate system to prevent unauthorised access, and to enhance the site.
Darfen Solution
Installation of powered sliding gate. Sliding gates are becoming increasingly preferred to traditional swing gates for their more stylish appearance, and their more effective use of space.
The opening required a gate of 13.5m length, therefore too wide for the Delta Cantilever gate which can be installed to a maximum opening of 8m.
The Viscount gate is a tracked system which is typically used for either extra wide openings or where there's restricted access. The gates' construction is steel throughout with an integral tamper proof security lock and is galvanised and colour coated blue, with a modular design allowing the easy replacement of any damaged components. Cleone Foods chose their method of access control to be via radio transmitter; however options such as intercom, digital keypad and card reader are also available.
At 13.5m wide, this is the largest Viscount gate that we have installed and required the casting of 30m of ground track whilst ensuring that the business remained open for deliveries etc...
Customer Comment
The installation went very well, and the gate has provided security whilst looking good.
