Sliding Gates

Reliable automated sliding gates ideal for restricted spaces and sloped site entrances.

  • Space Efficient — Ideal for restricted access areas

  • Strong Security — Provides a solid physical barrier

  • Smooth Operation — Controlled horizontal movement

  • Access Integration — Works with modern control systems

  • Flexible Layouts — Single or split configurations

Product Overview

Sliding gates offer a secure and practical solution for controlled access across a wide range of environments, from residential properties to industrial sites. Moving horizontally along a fixed track, they are particularly effective where space is limited or where swing gates are not feasible due to layout constraints.


Their straightforward design and robust construction make them suitable for both low-frequency private use and high-demand commercial applications, providing consistent performance over time.

Operation & Integration

Sliding gates are widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial environments due to their strength, reliability, and ability to accommodate wider entrances. The system operates using motorised automation, typically driven by a rack and pinion mechanism, enabling smooth and controlled horizontal movement while maintaining a secure physical barrier when closed. 


Modern installations incorporate key safety features such as photocells and obstacle detection to protect users, vehicles, and property during operation. Integration with access control technologies, including remote controls, keypads, intercoms, and vehicle detection systems, allows for flexible operation across both standalone entrances and fully managed access environments.


Installation & Support

Installation requires precise track alignment and foundation preparation to ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability. Systems can be configured as single sliding gates or bi-parting designs depending on available space and access requirements.


Automation equipment is selected based on gate size and usage levels to ensure consistent performance. Ongoing maintenance focuses on track condition, motor performance, and safety components, helping to maintain operational reliability over time.
