The Fortress Box Frame Roller Gate, manufactured by TYMETAL, represents a significant advancement in the design, construction, and performance of large roller gates through the use of a specially designed wheel system. Openings up to 500 feet have been effectively protected using this innovative design. When the gate is operating under normal load, the wheels run on the top and side surfaces of a steel beam. As wind begins to exert lateral pressure on the gate, the width of the wheel system and its low center of gravity help keep the gate in place. However, when the wind load becomes strong enough to lift the wheels off the beam, the safety guides come into contact with the underside of the track's flange, ensuring the gate remains securely anchored to the ground.
Box Frame Roller Gates are constructed from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions. The primary members (top and bottom) are "P" shaped in cross-section. The vertical members alternate between 1†x 2†and 1†x 1†in cross-section and are spaced no more than the overall height of the box frame apart. The gate is built in a "box" form, with the width between the frames measuring 24†from outside to outside.
Roller wheel trolley assemblies are bolted to the box frame at pre-specified intervals. Each assembly consists of several steel members welded together to provide support for the axle. The gate rolls on two parallel tracks embedded in concrete, with the top of the track level with the ground surface.

**Part 2 – Products:**
**2.01 Hydraulic Gate Operators:**
Hydraulic Gate Operator TYM-HYD-VF2 with controller supplied by TYMETAL, 2549 State Route 40, Greenwich, NY 12834 – (800)-328-4283.
**2.02 Operation:**
Operation is via a metal rail passing between a pair of solid metal wheels with polyurethane treads. Operator motors are hydraulic, roller type, and the system does not include belts, gears, pulleys, roller chains, or sprockets to transfer power from the operator to the gate panel. The operator must generate a minimum horizontal pull of 300 pounds without drive wheel slippage or distortion of supporting arms. It should handle gates weighing up to 5,000 pounds. Speed control is achieved via an electronic Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), which accelerates and decelerates the gate gradually to prevent shock loads. The maximum gate velocity of the Model TYM-HYD-VF2 operator must not be less than 26†per second. Upon starting, the VFD will gradually accelerate the gate to its maximum speed and reduce it to less than 1 foot per second before stopping, whereupon a limit switch will stop the electric motor. Two adjustable hydraulic brake valves assist in slowing the gate to a precise stop.
**2.03 Factory Testing:**
Each gate operator must be fully assembled and tested at the factory to ensure smooth operation, proper sequencing, and electrical connection integrity. Physical loads simulating field conditions should be applied. Tests should simulate physical and electrical loads equal to the fully rated capacity of the operator components. All mechanical connections should be checked for tightness and alignment. All welds should be inspected for completeness and continuity. Welded corners and edges should be square and straight. The painted finish should be inspected for completeness and gloss, with imperfections touched up prior to shipment. Hydraulic hoses and electrical wires should be checked to ensure chafing does not occur during shipping or operation.
**2.04 Box Frame Roller Gates:**
TYMETAL, 2549 State Route 40, Greenwich, NY 12834 – (800) 328-4283, shall manufacture the Box Frame Roller Gate(s). Approved substitutions must be submitted to the design team according to substitution requirements as set forth in the general provisions of the specification manual for approval prior to the bid date. Products submitted after the bid date will not be approved. The gate manufacturer must certify that the gate is manufactured in compliance with ASTM F 2200 and that the operators are UL 325 listed. The manufacturer must also provide independent certification regarding the use of a documented Welding Procedure Specification and Procedure Qualification Record to ensure conformance to the AWS D1.2 welding code.
**2.05 Gate Construction Details:**
Gate Frames: All welds must conform to the Welding Procedure Specification and Procedure Qualification Record to ensure conformance to the AWS D1.2 Structural Welding Code. All individual welders must be certified to AWS D1.2. The gate frames should be fabricated from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions. The primary members (top and bottom) should be “P†shaped in cross-section with no less than 2″ on a side and weighing not less than 1.6 lb/lf. The vertical members at the ends of each panel section should be 2″x2″ in cross-section weighing not less than 1.1 lb/ft. Intermediate vertical members should alternate between 1″x2″ and 1â€x1†in cross-section weighing not less than 0.82 lb/lf and 0.52 lb/lf, respectively. They should be spaced at a distance not exceeding the overall height of the box frame. The gate should be constructed in “box†form with the width between the frames measuring 24″ from outside to outside. Between these frames, there should be a continuous series of 1″x1″ diagonal and horizontal bracing with diagonals welded at approximately 45 degrees to the frames. Box Frame trolley assemblies should be bolted to the box frame at intervals as specified on the bid drawings. Each assembly should consist of a galvanized steel carriage to which two (2) wheel assemblies are secured. Each wheel should be rated for a minimum load capacity of 2,000 lb. Safety guides of 3/8†x 3†galvanized steel bar with attached guide wheels should be provided at a maximum of 10’-0†on center along the entire gate length. Wheel assemblies should be covered by a single 11 gauge galvanized steel cover at each location.
**Part 3 – Execution:**
**3.01 Site Inspection:**
Final grades and installation conditions should be examined. Installation should not begin until all unsatisfactory conditions are corrected. Locate the concrete mounting pad in accordance with approved shop drawings. Ensure that the gate is level and operates smoothly under manual conditions before installing the gate operators. Do not proceed until the gate panel is aligned and operates without binding.
**3.02 Installation:**
Equipment in this section should be installed in strict accordance with the company’s printed instructions unless otherwise shown on the contract drawings. The gate and installation should conform to ASTM F 2200 standard specification for automated vehicular gate construction and UL 325 standards. The installer should ensure that the electric service to the operator is at least 20 AMPS. The operator wattage is 2400. The installing contractor should be responsible for ensuring appropriate external primary entrapment safety devices are installed for the specific site conditions to protect against all potential entrapment zones. Proper operation of these safety devices should be verified, and training on their operation and maintenance should be documented.
**3.03 System Validation:**
The complete system should be adjusted to ensure it is performing properly. Test the gate operator through a minimum of ten full cycles and adjust to ensure operation without binding, scraping, or uneven motion. Test limit switches for proper “at rest†gate position. All anchor bolts should be fully concealed in the finished installation. For operated gate systems, test and explain safety features: Each system feature and device is a separate component of the gate system. Read and follow all instructions for each component. Ensure that all instructions for mechanical components, safety devices, and the gate operator are available for everyone who will be using the gate system. The warning signs shipped with the gate operator must be installed in a prominent position on both sides of the gate. Ensure the owner is clear with regard to the safety points concerning the basic operational guidelines of the safety features of the gate operator system. These safety points are listed in the gate operator manual and must be read prior to system use.
Note: TYMETAL reserves the right to modify and/or make changes as deemed necessary without previous notice.
