Folding / Retractable Gates

Cronax Folding / Retractable Gates are engineered for spaces where compact design, quick operation, and maximum security are essential. Unlike conventional gates, these gates fold or collapse neatly along a track system, requiring minimal side space and ensuring smooth, efficient operation. Manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel or stainless steel, retractable gates provide durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance. Their collapsible structure makes them highly suitable for factories, warehouses, commercial complexes, parking zones, airports, and institutional facilities, where large openings need secure yet flexible access control.

Equipped with motorised automation, remote operation, and optional safety sensors, these gates ensure effortless control, enhanced safety, and convenience. They can also be integrated with RFID, biometric, or card-based access systems for advanced security requirements. Available in custom designs, finishes, and sizes, folding/retractable gates not only optimize space efficiency but also add a modern, professional appeal to any facility.
