A motorized telescopic gate that retracts to one side to open wide perimeter entrances — without a ground track to maintain. Stainless 304 or aluminum construction, driven by a RAX servo VFD motor with obstacle sensing, for schools, factories, logistics parks and industrial sites. Built to your opening, from prototype to full production runs.
One idea: control a wide perimeter entrance reliably, with a gate that opens and closes at the touch of a button or a card reader — and needs almost no ground maintenance. The telescopic leaf stacks compactly to one side, leaving the full carriageway clear.
Wide site entrances — factory gates, school driveways, logistics-park entries — need a barrier that is robust, automated and low-maintenance. A swing gate needs clearance to arc open; a conventional sliding gate needs a long run-back and a ground track that collects debris and needs regular cleaning. A telescopic (retractable) gate solves both: interlocking sections slide and fold onto themselves, so the gate retracts into a compact stack beside the opening, clearing the full carriageway with no track across the road and a much shorter run-back than a single-leaf slider.
RAX builds retractable gates in stainless steel 304 or aluminum, driven by a RAX servo VFD motor for smooth, soft-start/soft-stop travel, with infrared obstacle sensing and an anti-crush safety edge so the gate stops and reverses on an obstruction. Control integrates with remote, card reader, keypad, loop detector and access-control systems. Every gate ships with foundation details and an English manual so your site team can set the posts, run the power and commission quickly.
Opening widths, heights and run-back shown are industry-typical values for telescopic sliding gates and are confirmed to your site on the technical layout. Servo VFD drive and sensing are within the RAX drive and safety range; wind and access-control integration are confirmed per project.
Every gate is built to your entrance. The values below are the validated baseline; final figures are confirmed on your specification. Each row states whether the value is RAX-measured, an industry-typical range, or per project.

Certificates we hold today, and the project-specific test data we arrange against the matching standard. We state held versus per-project so you can tender honestly.
Validated materials, SGS verification and precision manufacturing — performed in-house, with the frame material, drive sizing and wind matching confirmed per project to your site exposure.
From a single unit — full order flexibility. Start with one gate and scale to container-load branded production.
Every retractable gate is built to your entrance and your access requirement. Send the clear opening width, the site wind exposure and the access-control requirement (or site photos) and our engineers return a proposal, layout confirmation and lead time.
From custom engineering to container-load delivery — the document set your local installers need.
Warranty: door body 2 years · operator/motor 3 years · servo motor 5 years. Free spare parts within warranty (DHL/FedEx 5–7 days). Lead time: sample 7–15 days · standard container 12–20 days · custom first order 20–35 days.
A conventional single-leaf sliding gate needs a run-back roughly as long as the opening plus a ground track across the road that collects debris and needs regular cleaning. A telescopic (retractable) gate uses interlocking sections that slide and fold onto themselves, so it retracts into a compact stack beside the opening. That clears the full carriageway, removes the road-crossing track, and needs a much shorter run-back — which is why it suits wide entrances where space behind the gate is limited.
Stainless 304 is the robust choice for high-security sites, coastal or corrosive environments, and heavy daily traffic — it is strong and highly corrosion resistant. Aluminum is lighter, which reduces drive load and suits large gates or sites where weight and cost matter, while still offering good corrosion resistance. Send your site environment and opening width and our engineers recommend the right frame on the technical layout.
The gate uses infrared obstacle sensing across the closing path plus an anti-crush safety edge on the closing stile. When either detects an obstruction, the RAX servo VFD drive stops and reverses the gate. The soft start and soft stop of the VFD drive also keeps travel smooth and predictable. Safety forces are confirmed against EN 12453 per project to your gate weight and speed.
Yes. The controller provides interfaces for remote handsets, card readers, keypads, loop detectors and site access-control systems, so the gate can open on a valid credential and detect vehicles automatically. Tell us which access system you use and we confirm the integration on the wiring diagrams before production.
RAX holds ISO 9001:2015, CE marking against EN 13241 (industrial door and gate product standard) and EN 12453 (operator safety), plus SGS material reports and Product Liability Insurance. EN 12453 safety-force test data, wind-load matching and access-control integration are confirmed per project, not held as standing certificates.
Sample orders run 7-15 days, a standard container 12-20 days, and a custom first order 20-35 days (repeat custom orders 15-20 days). FOB ports are Tianjin and Qingdao; FCL and LCL are both supported.
Every order includes installation guides, foundation details and wiring diagrams, an English installation and commissioning manual, FAI first-article confirmation and pre-assembly photos, a factory inspection report (travel, sensing, noise, visual), the 100,000-cycle fatigue test video/report on the drive, and the CE Declaration of Conformity with the EN 13241 test report.
