Commercial Sliding Gate

About this gate

A steel sliding gate securing a commercial yard entrance, running on a bottom track with the leaf sliding clear of the opening.

Sliding gates are the right answer where a swinging leaf will not work — a short driveway, a slope running away from the entrance, or an opening that vehicles queue at. Nothing swings out into the road and nothing needs clear ground to sweep across.

Automation and safety

We are Gate Safe accredited, and it matters. An automated sliding gate is heavy powered machinery with obvious crushing and shearing points, and badly installed ones have killed people in the UK. Every automated gate we fit gets a documented force and risk assessment, safety edges and photocells positioned to eliminate trap points, a manual release you are shown how to use, and handover paperwork.
