Its price is certain, definitive and includes everything – also installation. This is one of the differences compared to traditional horizontal sliding or swing gates, whose prices are often clear just only at the end of installation work. In fact, when you plan the installation of a traditional gate – in particular in case of sliding gates – often happens that the complete amount does NOT include the masonry work necessary for the installation of a track on the ground; an amount that in some cases can turn out to be quite expensive. Considering all these elements, the price of a Vertically Opening Gate/Barrier can be clearly compared with a typical automatized closing system – in cases of large openings it is nearly always the cheapest solution – offering in the meantime, however, definitely superior technical-constructional features.

This is the reason why it could be assembled in advance (inclusive of the electrical and hydraulic systems) and delivered finished to the client. This reduces significantly the system's definitive starting time. Moreover – if necessary – it can be easily disassembled and reused with the possibility to be shorten or lengthen as one likes in another location. This is possible thanks to the gate's/barrier's assembling versatility that doesn't have to be certificated a second time by the builder. Patented design and project.

It can be installed in every reduced space or in case of architectural constraints and at least with considerable terrain inclinations. By contrast to the Sliding or Swing Gates, Avantgates vertical hydraulic pivot gates does not require any additional space. It often allows to obtain extra parking places where a traditional gate would require more space.

Avantgates opening can't be obstructed by gravel, sand or leaves; elements that could be a problem for traditional horizontal closing systems. Even snow or ice are no longer a problem for this kind of gate at least.

This kind of motorization guarantees a perfect functioning even after many years and with a really intensive use of the machinery; this also reduces to the minimum the maintenance costs. Furthermore, the hydraulic system assures the gate's utmost quietness. Hydraulic combined with electronics is considered the best technological solution available for automatic closures.

Avantgates vertical hydraulic pivot gates introduces a revolutionary building concept in gates world. In fact, it allows to use completely all the space where it'll be fitted even traditional gates are not able to use. Once opened, it can be used as a sign or incorporated in an advertisement totem – even with a luminous one.

The Gate is a fully certified like “machine” – certified by a Notified Body – and in accordance with the most recent European Regulation (EN-12453 ; EN-12445 ; EN-13241-1 ; EN-12604 ; EN-12605 ; EN-12978 ; EN-418 ; EN-982).

The Gate's blocking system during the closing process does not have any lock and does not require any key; that's the reason why it cannot be forced. Moreover – always aiming a major security against thieves – all the gate's operations can be made remotely, for example from inside a place that is protected by an alarm.

Since all the unique peculiarities of the AVANT Gate, Smoes has already taken out a number of patents for its revolutionary gate – even European Patents.
