Electric Sliding Gates done properly

Our sliding gate options can cater for a wide range of site entrances, between 2m and 20m.

We have a wide range of infills for you to select from for your new metal sliding gate. These include vertical bars, palisade infills for an industrial look, solid infills for complete privacy or 358 mesh to prevent would-be trespassers climbing over or reaching through.

We offer powder coating too, so if you want your gate to match your brand colours, simply supply us with the RAL code and we will colour match for you. You can also provide us with any design, logo, or site rules you have, which you would like on your gate leaf, and we will create an infill with these displayed, giving your automatic gates a professional look.

Add an extra visual and physical deterrent to your premises by including anti-climb spikes along the top of your Sliding Gate.

Standard safety features include dual-sided and end safety edges to instantly stop the gate operating if somebody becomes trapped, emergency stop buttons, manual override facilities, strobe lights and ‘magic eye’ photocells which will detect any potentially dangerous obstruction scenarios.

Entrance gates can be very busy throughout the day. You do not want to be disturbed by the constant operation of your electric gates, so our motors are not just reliable, they are incredibly quiet too.

We can integrate ANPR, Intercom systems, Access Control keypads, traffic island Intercoms, automatic ground loops, remote opening facilities – such as proximity readers or radio receiver/zappers openers. These bring greater control of site access, and fast exit ground loops can be programmed to be turned off on weekends. This will, of course, prevent the risk of someone gaining access and being able to drive one of your vehicles off-site.

Intercoms can be fitted with the capacity to make an automatic call to the office as soon as a vehicle triggers the ground loop. We have also developed a hands-free intercom powered by a long-range microphone and loudspeaker, to negate the requirement for drivers to leave their vehicles.

Our team will also provide all the groundwork, including adjusting the entrance and road-way, altering kerbing, laying foundations, and creating housing for the sliding gate as it opens to keep things neat and tidy. With our plant machinery, we can help keep costs down while ensuring a streamlined process.

One of our design features on our high-quality electric sliding gates is the cabinet that runs along the bottom. This houses the rack and pinion that drives the gate in both directions, providing not just a better look, but it also ensures that the mechanical parts are protected from the infamous British weather and intentional or accidental damage.

Many businesses integrate their electric sliding gates with a commercial access control system, enabling the easy monitoring of in-house drivers and supplier movements, and creating a date/time log which you can track. The installation of CCTV Cameras on your Sliding Gates also allows HR to know who’s on-site at all times. It will also provide evidence in the event that anyone attempts to gain illegal access or damage the gate, and reduces the potential for any non-authorised people to gain entry to your yard, warehouse or offices.

Security is essential to any business, and an electric sliding gate is the first line of defence to protect anything valuable on your premises. With so many options for additional security features and integrated systems, we can provide you with the exact automated gate system and electric gate installation that you need to keep your site fully protected.

If you handle dangerous items in your business, electric sliding gates can prevent access without the need for a staffed gatehouse. Many business owners add ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) which allows authorised personnel immediate access. It also prevents anyone else entering the site without the approval and it keeps areas clear when large vehicles are manoeuvring around the site.

Staff entry and exit times can be monitored and logged at your sliding gate, helping with payroll management and attendance/delivery time evidence.

Manually checking every visitor into your site requires additional staff, can create a build-up of traffic and block road access for other neighbouring businesses. Our electric gate installation means less staff and the ability to keep deliveries on track without delays.

A commercial sliding gate allows you to demonstrate that your business premises are protected and monitored 24/7, ensuring product, stock and machinery cannot be interfered with. This will help you to comply with British Retail Consortium (BRC) standards, GDPR and Quality Assurance.
