Sliding gates offer many advantages over swing gates – especially for commercial sites.

• – Adverse slopes can be easily overcome. If the road slopes up into the property it is difficult to effectively lock swing gates.
• – Sliding gates are much more secure as when they are fully closed they form a solid barrier.
• – Wide openings are not a problem – possibly with twin gates meeting in the middle.
• – No wind force issues
• – Open or solid gates are possible
• – No need for a track in the ground if cantilever gear is fitted thus solving transverse slope problems.
• – Gates up to 3.5 tonnes can be automated.
