Telescopic Sliding Gates
Space-saving telescopic sliding gates designed for locations with restricted run-back space.
Space Efficiency - Requires up to 50% less run-back space than standard sliding gates
Large Openings - Can span wide entrances while maintaining compact operation
Trackless Options - Cantilevered designs eliminate ground tracks for easier maintenance
Speed - Faster opening and closing cycles than traditional sliding gates
Versatility - Suitable for industrial, commercial, and specialist applications
Reliability - Engineered for heavy-duty use with minimal maintenance requirements
Product Overview
Telescopic sliding gates are designed for sites where available run-back space is limited but wide access openings are still required. Using multiple overlapping panels, the gate sections stack together during operation, significantly reducing the space needed compared to traditional sliding gates.
This makes them particularly effective in constrained commercial, industrial, and infrastructure environments. Capable of spanning large widths while maintaining a compact footprint, these systems offer a practical solution where standard gate designs are not feasible. Electro Automation has also developed advanced trackless cantilevered telescopic systems, including specialist applications within rail infrastructure.
Operation & Integration
Telescopic sliding gates are ideal for locations where space is at a premium. These innovative gates use multiple overlapping panels that stack together when opening, requiring significantly less run-back space than traditional sliding gates. Our telescopic gates can span large openings whilThe system operates by synchronising multiple gate panels to move in sequence along a shared path, allowing them to telescope together as the gate opens.
This coordinated movement ensures smooth operation while maximising usable access width within restricted space. Configurations include single-sided and bi-parting designs, depending on site layout and operational requirements. These gates can be integrated with access control systems and automation platforms, supporting controlled entry across industrial, commercial, and transport environments, maintaining a compact footprint when open.
They are available in bi-parting and single-sided configurations and can be customised for various industrial and commercial applications. Electro Group has pioneered trackless cantilevered telescopic gate systems, including the UK's first installation for Network Rail level crossings.
Installation & Support
Installation is tailored to site-specific constraints, including opening width, available run-back, and ground conditions. Systems can be configured as tracked or cantilevered solutions depending on infrastructure requirements, with trackless options providing additional flexibility where ground installation is restricted.
Each installation is engineered to ensure alignment, smooth operation, and long-term reliability. Ongoing support and maintenance services ensure continued performance, particularly in high-demand or specialist applications such as rail and infrastructure projects.
