Electric Sliding Gates

Virtually all types of gate can be offered with an opening or a sliding mechanism. Sliding gates are generally more secure as they have a fixed housing at both ends and are ideal where gates cannot open into a sloping driveway. They are also better for windy sites. Sliding Gates are normally mounted on a rail which supports its weight along the entire length of its run and can thefefore span quite wide openings. They have to be mounted on a level surface and the guide rail must be kept clear of debris.

In those circumstances where a bottom rail is either not suitable, or specifically not requested (some horse owners prefer not to have a bottom rail) , we can install a cantilever sliding gate. This is effectively suspended over the entrance and therefore needs no rail below it. The basic principle uses an additional section of gate to partly counterbalance the section that spans the roadway. Cantilevers need less groundwork, are quieter in operation and can be used on uneven ground. However they require more space at the side of the gate to accommodate the extra length and are less suitable for very wide openings.

Your gate automation can incorporate the latest technology in access control. Here there is a keypad with an intercom link into the house so that visitors can request entry. This can also be combined with a cctv image (not illustrated). The keypads may be free standing as here or incorporated into the gate pillars or a wall. Gates can also be controlled by a ground loop system (activated automatically by the approach of a vehicle fitted with a corresponding activator), key fobs or swipe cards or even number plate recognition.
