Umakov off-axis rising hinge, top, leaf up to 120 kg

Off-axis hinges are used when the ground behind the gate rises and the leaf would catch on the ground when opening. The axis of rotation is inclined, so the leaf lifts as it opens. The top hinge forms the upper part of this axis; the rise is set on the bottom hinge in 5 positions.

How much the leaf rises

The rise depends on the selected hole on the bottom hinge and on the distance between the hinges. According to the SAVER drawing, with a 2 m long leaf and hinges 1,000 mm apart, the end of the leaf rises by 70 to 351 mm (2.0° to 10.1°). With a greater distance between the hinges, the rise is smaller.

Things to consider

• Pair of hinges – for one leaf you need one top and one bottom off-axis hinge.
• Weight – one leaf can weigh up to 120 kg.
• Operator – the leaf lifts when opening, so choose a slightly more powerful swing gate operator.
