An uphill trackless bi fold gate in San Francisco a gate that has over a 17-inch rise across the driveway. The gate travels uphill and folds in half using a trackless bi fold arm, this is the only trackless bi fold gate that swings uphill anywhere.  It uses a Byan 900 hydraulic arm and has been flawless since it was installed in November 2017.  In the last year I designed a mechanical lock to keep gate closed. All work was engineered by Bart Phillips

14 Foot Redwood Gate

Trackless bi fold gate that is 14 feet wide two 7-foot sections and the arm from the gate to the gate operator travels through a brick column. This is the longest automated trackless bi fold gate.

Bart Phillips fabricated this gate using clear heart redwood on a steel frame and designed the arm through the column to fold this gate in half with trackless bi fold hardware. The wood is on the face creating other challenges with the hinges.
