How do Bi-parting Swing Gates typically operate?

• A. They operate simultaneously using two operators with linked controls
• B. Only one operator controls both gates sequentially
• C. They operate independently with no synchronization
• D. They require manual hand cranks for both gates

Answer: (A)

Both leaves move together in a synchronized action using two linked operators. In a typical bi-parting swing gate setup, each leaf has its own motor, but the controls are connected so a single command opens or closes both leaves at the same time. This coordination keeps the gate halves aligned, prevents center collisions, and provides a smooth, reliable opening for vehicles or pedestrians. If the leaves were driven independently or sequentially, there could be misalignment or a jam at the center. Manual hand cranks aren’t how these automated systems usually operate, because the goal is consistent, automatic, synchronized movement.
