Since 1951, Criterion Products, Inc. has been manufacturing folding gates, tarps, and truck accessories in Los Angeles, California. Criterion has become a name synonymous with quality, service and experience. We offer 3 series of folding gates to meet the needs and budgets of each building owner or tenant. Whether to satisfy the demanding requirements of heavy industrial settings or the economy desired by the most cost conscious buyer, Criterion has a gate suitable for most any application. Tarps can be manufactured in a variety of materials and sizes for many uses. From “typical” truck tarps to fixed or portable welding screens, all Criterion tarp products are made to last. Available truck accessories include chain gates and rubber bumpers. Criterion also maintains an inventory of truck hardware items, including those hard to find older parts. More than 50 years of product design and manufacturing experience enable us to provide custom products to comply with special design and unique installation requirements.

Folding Gates - also known as scissor, accordion, expanding, or collapsible gates - are available in the rugged double-channel construction of the DC Series, the performance-designed economy of the EG Series, and the commonly seen “lazy tong” design of the LT Series. Most gates can be either single sliding or bi-parting, and can roll on floor casters or in tracks. Gate Cabinets can be provided to secure and conceal the gates when not in use.

Tarps can be manufactured as flat or fitted, from PVC coated nylon or “Rip-Stop” mesh materials, in a variety of colors. They can be custom made to include “D” rings, straps, vents, and more. Alternate materials and designs result in variations adaptable to equipment covers, fixed and portable welding screens, sliding and rolling curtains, and other related products.

Truck Accessories include sliding chain gates for the rear of truck trailers and rubber bumpers to protect trucks and docks. Truck hardware normally in stock includes trailer door hinges, tie-down hooks, stake rack connectors, stake pockets and sleeves.
