Retractable rotating gate

The fence does not require an overhead suspension system or floor track system in order to operate. Instead, the fence rides on non-marking swivel casters that permit the gate to be retracted to the width of a single panel, and then rotated as much as 180 degrees to provide complete access to the entire opening — a particularly attractive feature for areas that require total access for robotics, machine loading or servicing. Slide-A-Matic panel fences are available in lengths from two to six panels. Two fences can be mounted at opposing angles to create a pen that is totally accessible from both sides when retracted. Slide-A-Matic is available in standard heights of 42, 48 and 76 inches (107, 122 and 193 cm).
