Commercial Electric Gates

There are different types of operating systems, including underground hydraulic systems for heavy, large swing gates, through to lightweight 24 volt sliding gate systems. We offer a free consultation and site survey to determine what would best suit your premises and the location of the gate. Gates can be opened by remote control, pressure sensors or various other methods. Wired or wireless intercom systems can be installed along with access control keypads if you require.

Electric gates are designed to close automatically once an authorised vehicle or person has passed through them, so you won’t have unexpected visitors wandering through. It is very difficult – if not impossible – to force an electric gate open, or climb over it, particularly a solid, heavy sliding gate with a pneumatic motor. We take into account your security needs when assessing the best automatic gate style and system for your commercial property.

Subject to a site visit, we can advise you on a suitable system. We specialise in gate safety and retro fitting safety systems. Please contact us if you would like more information.

No matter what sort of gate mechanism you have for your electric gates – underground, gate arm or sliding gate for example – you will have an override key to disengage the motor so that your gates can be operated manually if there is no power.

Your electric gates should keep working smoothly for many years as long as you have them regularly serviced. We recommend a bi-annual service for commercial automatic gates which have fairly heavy use. Moving parts are subject to wear and tear and regular servicing will pick up any weak points and make sure your gate system complies with health and safety standards. Call the office on 01373 800151 and we will be pleased to provide costs and arrange a service appointment.

We fix faulty electric gates promptly and efficiently. Check that your gates are receiving power, that the remote control you are using is in working order, and that there is not an obstruction in the track or sensor arc of the gate. If everything is clear then you can call in our professionals and we’ll find and repair the fault.

Yes, for commercial and domestic customers. Please contact us for full details.

There are various features that prevent accidents from happening with the operation of electric gates, such as:

• Photocells are small sensors that send an infrared beam across your gate opening, which when broken, will make the gate reopen… we fit these as standard to all gate installations.
• Safety edges are rubber strips fitted to a gate and when pressed will cause the automation to stop and reverse releasing the object that has activated the safety edge.
• Induction safety loops are a coil of wire cut into the road surface .. whilst a vehicle is on the loop the gate will not close.
• Laser scanners – in some circumstances a laser scanner can be installed, this provides a customised protection zone.
