Types of Electric Gates
Below is a brief overview of the different types of electric gates, which we expand upon in our dedicated blog post. When specifying or buying an electric gate, be sure to remember that regular maintenance is essential to ensure smooth operation and longevity. In addition to our DHF level 2 accredited installation, we also provide servicing and maintenance.
Swing Gates
Open inward or outward in a swinging motion. Ideal for properties with ample space to accommodate the swinging motion. Typically operated by linear ram arms or underground motors.
Sliding Gates
Available with tracked (gate slides horizontally along a track) or cantilever (balanced on rollers that move along a carriage, with a counterbalance section to support the gate) mechanism. Sliding gates are preferred for properties with a short driveway or those located on an incline. Operated by a motor that drives the gate along the track.
Bi-Folding Gates
Bi-folding gates are an excellent choice for properties with limited space. These gates consist of panels that fold back on themselves, requiring minimal space to open and close. Bi-folding gates offer quick operation and high security.
Electric sliding gates
Available in cantilever or tracked operation, sliding electric gates are suitable for sites where space is restricted.

Bi-folding speed gates
The trackless bi-folding speed gate comprises a unique drive mechanism to control the opening and closing, suitable for high security sites.

For a less intimidating electric gate, timber alternatives offer a softer approach to access control solutions. We offer a range of timber electric gate styles some of which use both timber and metal in their designs.
We use a galvanised internal frame to eliminate twisting and warping common in other designs of courtyard gate. Available with numerous access operations, they can function much like their metal counterparts with underground or above ground systems.
