The Australian Trellis Door Company ‘s (ATDC) S04-1 mobile trackless trellis barrier system is suitable for shopping centre and retail applications.
ATDC recently installed over 120 lineal metres of trackless barriers at Gosford Town Centre, a recently redeveloped shopping centre on the NSW Central Coast.
The job description was to secure 8 kiosks situated in the middle of the centre. Being kiosks there was no super structure and no fixing points or supports. There were many angled lines and almost 120 lineal metres of space to secure and no place to store the doors.
The S04-1 trackless barrier easily solved and overcame all these difficulties. Being a trackless barrier, the absence of fixing points posed no problems since the system is self-supporting, and it could span an unlimited width at any angle and without the need for any mullions. Storage space was not an issue as the systems could be stored off the premises. A similar barrier installation occurred at Centro Galleria in Perth, WA.
ATDC have developed a removable lockable post, which can be used in conjunction with the trackless barrier offering a higher level of security when required. A typical example includes securing an area in a shopping centre between two glass shop fronts. The removable lockable posts allow lock up without attaching onto the glass shop front, by locking down onto a laser cut stainless steel plate positioned on the floor.
Another recent innovation includes a specially-developed manual handling trolley, which allows a large span trackless barrier to be operated by a single person.
