Safety and security from the skies to the seas

Restricted zones. Streams of passengers. Extreme weather. Automated doors on a massive scale. Transportation has unique challenges that we’ve spent decades perfecting the answers to. From the departure gates to the emergency exit, we get passengers and cargo safely on their way. 

High-Performance Transit Entrances

Efficient public transport depends on smooth and swift pedestrian traffic. Our automated doors ensure peak performance while tightening station security and saving energy. From packed MTR concourses and cross-harbour bus interchanges to departure gates at Hong Kong International Airport, our automatic entrances play a key part in keeping passenger flow at its best.

Airport doors and beyond

We know timing is essential for businesses, travelers and customers that use our services. That is why we focus on improving the entrance flow, whether at the front door, staff entry, or security zone. Our complete product portfolio includes bus station doors, train station doors and airport doors.

The entrance systems that we provide are safe, secure and convenient. Choose from automatic doors, departure/arrival gates, doors separating security zones, industrial or high-performance doors for internal and external use.

Complete access solutions for transportation 

No matter how fast you’re travelling, you can’t take short cuts with safety. Transport hubs are the arteries of the modern world, so we’ll make sure every passenger and product reaches their destination.

Whether they’re booking a flight or jumping on a train, people expect to get where they want, when they want. From airports to subways, we provide reliable, customized entrances that keep them safe while coping with that demand. Automated sliding doors, for example, make rapid, hands-free access easy without getting in the way; emergency exits get people out fast if they need to.

Our global economy depends on just-in-time supply chains, so you can’t afford to be the weak link. From ships to lorries, loading areas can be fitted with the exact door you need –high-speed, vertical, folding, overhead or sectional. Our equipment is every bit as hardworking as the staff keeping goods on the go. 

Nothing slows things down like a security breach, so keep restricted areas properly protected with electromechanical locks that won’t go anywhere. Keep customers and deliveries exactly where they are supposed to be, until it’s time for their next journey.

Solutions in Transportation

  • Entrance door systems

    An automatic transit door is a high-frequency, heavy-duty access system engineered to manage massive passenger flows while maximizing public safety and station climate control. Deployed across Hong Kong MTR stations, concourses, and airport terminals, these rugged automated systems synchronize entry with arriving trains to isolate platforms, prevent track accidents, and create a tight seal that cuts down station air-conditioning loss. 

  • High-security doors

    An access control system using smart card credentials and biometric characteristics to check and approve access of authorized personnel to ensure the right person is granted entry to restricted areas. 

  • Utility facilities

    Utilities at a public transportation facility often are exposed to extreme weather conditions or chemicals and require durable door control, door locks or cylinder locks to ensure no unwanted surprises.

  • General doors

    The self-closing function by door closers provides  an important level of security for external doors, preventing them from slamming, staying open unintentionally or blowing open in the wind.

  • Emergency exits

    Emergency and panic exit devices must comply with regulations and ensure safe exit during extreme situations while helping to secure the building and retain secure entry in non-emergency situations.

  • Industrial doors

    There are a number of variations for industrial doors. High-speed doors go up and down quickly, making sure traffic keeps flowing. Horizontally moving folding doors are perfect when there is no space for a regular door. Overhead sectional doors retract up under the roof, freeing space around the door opening. And for large openings, wind and weather resistant extra-large doors are available.

  • Speedgates

    A speed gate is a high-speed, waist-high access turnstile designed to guide dense pedestrian traffic with maximum security and minimal delay. Equipped with fast-acting glass barriers and precision optical sensors, it grants rapid entry upon credential verification while instantly detecting and blocking unauthorized tailgating.
