Automatic Sliding Gates – Rolling & Cantilever Systems for Secure Access

Electric metal sliding gates are an essential addition to a property’s perimeter security system, providing an access point with an increased level of control for vehicles and pedestrians entering or leaving your perimeter.

These automatic electric gates can be used for both public and private sites, such as industrial sites, educational facilities including schools and universities as well as for residential use as automatic rolling driveway gates, protecting properties and vehicles from theft.

To protect these automated gates against the elements, each is finished with a professionally applied Polyester Powder Coating (PPC).  These coatings are available in a range of colours, providing a smooth even finish that is resistant to chipping and fading.

Cantilever Sliding Gate Systems

Cantilever automated sliding gate systems offer a smooth and reliable operation without the need for ground tracks. These gates This makes them ideal for locations where the ground is not level. Using a cantilever gate also removes the maintenance of keeping the tracked system clear from debris.
