Accessible Pedestrian Access
Swing Gate
Motorized swing barrier gates with ADA-compliant wide lane widths of 900mm to 1200mm. Emergency fail-safe open mechanism, 304/316 stainless steel construction, and RS485/TCP/IP/Wiegand integration for hospitals, accessible entrances, and fire egress routes.
Product Overview
Wide-lane swing barriers for accessible and compliant pedestrian access
FlowGate Pro swing gates are motorized barrier gates designed for wide-lane pedestrian access where ADA compliance, wheelchair accessibility, and emergency egress are essential requirements. Deployed in hospitals, accessible building entrances, fire egress routes, and mixed pedestrian and wheelchair lanes, these gates provide secure access control without compromising accessibility.
Each swing gate features a wide lane opening of 900mm to 1200mm as standard, accommodating wheelchair users, stretcher passage, and luggage trolley movement. The barrier wings swing open horizontally with smooth, controlled motion driven by industrial-grade DC brushless motors. In the event of a power failure or fire alarm activation, the fail-safe mechanism releases the wings to the open position for unimpeded evacuation.
Housing is available in 304 stainless steel as standard, with 316 stainless steel offered for marine, coastal, and high-corrosion environments such as hospital sterilization areas. The design meets international accessibility standards and can be configured with visual and audible passage indicators for users with sensory impairments.

Technical Specifications
Materials, dimensions, and integration specifications
Detailed specifications for procurement evaluation and system integration planning.
Housing Material
304 stainless steel housing with brushed finish as standard for interior and sheltered exterior applications. 316 stainless steel available for marine, coastal, and high-corrosion environments. Barrier wing panels in 10mm tempered glass or stainless steel. Surface finishes include hairline brushed, mirror-polished, and powder-coated options. All fasteners are stainless steel grade.
Lane Dimensions
Standard lane width: 900mm (ADA-compliant minimum) to 1200mm (wheelchair and stretcher passage). Cabinet dimensions: 1400mm length x 200mm width x 1000mm height per side. Barrier wing height: 900mm to 1200mm depending on security posture. Custom widths and heights available per project specification.
Throughput & Speed
Throughput of 25-35 persons per minute depending on lane width and credential verification speed. Wing open time: 0.5 to 1.0 seconds. Wing close time: 1.0 to 1.5 seconds. Bidirectional passage with programmable lane direction. Adjustable passage timeout from 2 to 60 seconds. Anti-tailgating detection via IR sensor monitoring.
Safety & Compliance
Emergency fail-safe open mechanism: wings automatically release to open position on power loss or fire alarm dry contact input. Obstacle detection with automatic reverse on contact. Infrared safety sensors prevent wing closure when pedestrian or object is detected in lane. Manual release key for maintenance and emergency override. CE certified to applicable EU safety directives.
Integration Protocols
RS485 serial communication for local controller networking. TCP/IP Ethernet interface with REST API for building management system integration. Wiegand 26/34/37-bit input for third-party card readers and biometric terminals. Dry contact relay outputs for alarm, fire alarm interface, and passage status. Door contact input for integration with automatic sliding doors in vestibule configurations.
Power & Environmental
Input power: AC 110-240V, 50/60 Hz universal. Motor drive: DC 24V brushless with encoder feedback. Standby consumption under 20W per lane. Operating consumption under 70W per lane during passage. IP54 rated enclosure. Operating temperature: -20 degrees C to 55 degrees C. Humidity: 10% to 95% non-condensing. Optional internal heaters for sub-zero environments.

Where swing gates are deployed
Designed for environments where accessibility and safety compliance are non-negotiable requirements.
Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Wide-lane swing gates at hospital main entrances and department access points for wheelchair, stretcher, and equipment passage. Optional antimicrobial surface coatings for infection control compliance. Integration with hospital access control and visitor management systems. Emergency fail-safe open ensures unimpeded evacuation during fire alarm conditions. Visual and audible indicators for patients and visitors with sensory impairments.
Accessible Building Entrances
Swing gates at accessible entrances in commercial, government, and public buildings requiring ADA or equivalent accessibility compliance. 900mm minimum lane width accommodates wheelchair turning radius. Low-force barrier operation for safe passage. Integration with automatic door operators for hands-free building entry. Custom finishes to match lobby architecture and interior design.
Fire Egress Routes
Swing gates deployed on designated fire egress routes where fail-safe operation is required by building code. Wings automatically release to full open position on fire alarm dry contact signal or power failure. No mechanical locking in open position to ensure unimpeded evacuation flow. Integration with fire alarm control panel for monitored fail-safe status. Meets international fire safety and life safety code requirements.
Mixed Pedestrian & Wheelchair Lanes
