Up and over gate

Today we fitted some dividing gates for a farmer in Cullen, Co Tipperary. These are up and over gates, basically our standard heavy duty dividing gate, hinged at the top with an additional frame with counter weight. The picture on the right shows the pair of gates on in the up position, the other in the down position.









The counter weight was tricky to perfect but in this case it balances well, with the gate in equilibrim in both up and down postions.













The gates are based on our standard design, heavy duty with closing bolts on each side.

In addition the gates can be fixed in the upright position in order to allow maximum flexibility for how the pen can be used.

This gates are particularly suited to diary setups where pens require to be emptied or filled with minimum of hassle. In addition the have the added advantage that they do not block cublices when in the open position.
