Controlling and securing access to your business premises has never been more important. For security and simple health and safety protocol, the vehicles and personnel inside the perimeter of any industrial or commercial premises should be controlled at all times.
A sliding electric operated steel or aluminium gate is probably one of the best methods of control for multiple reasons. Sliding sideways, a cantilever or tracked sliding gate is ideal for almost any size of opening and can open partially or fully as required to minimise access.
An automatic cantilever sliding gate provides an extremely smooth and reliable form of access control in sizes right up to 12 metres wide in one gate leaf. The cantilever gate is a gate which requires no floor tracking and is a sliding gate leaf rolling in and out of a cage in effect, with rollers and a counterweighted ‘tail’ balancing the gate leaf.
The cantilever gate offers many benefits and simple advantages over swing gates and other security barrier systems.
- Best use of space in most cases on the site
- Less costly than swing gates and only one motor drive required
- Fewer moving parts ensure durability over time
- Very secure when closed, especially from forced ramming attempts
- Less moving parts and contact ensures a more reliable constant operation
- Perfect when the ground levels or surfaces are not good or level
- Fast installation times on site reducing disruption
- Minimal maintenance required
- Can offer 100% duty cycle ratings for constant operation 24/7
- Manual or automatic operation with smooth balancing
- Easy to specify very large gate size
We offer several models of cantilever gate systems for entrances between 3m wide and up to 12 metres or more, with variable heights and gate leaf designs to choose from.
There are manual operated and electric operated models with the electric driven models obviously available in much larger sizes on the width.
AGD 95
The AGD 95 is more suited to smaller openings between 3m and 5.5m width and has 3 infill designs for the gate leaf - vertical round bar, 868 twin mesh infill and the traditional palisade gate design so popular in the UK along with matching fencing.
This gate is perfect for domestic driveways and smaller commercial premises in the main.
AGD 130
The AGD 130 cantilever sliding gate is for medium size entrances between 5.5m and 8m width and again has the same gate leaf design selections. Perfect for medium sized, most common commercial entrance width and also larger domestic driveway entrances too.
AGD 200
The AGD 200 cantilever gate is the largest option we have to offer between 8m and 12m wide with standard heights up to 2.4m. Larger cantilever gates are available to order and we ask you to contact us for further details and pricing if required.
Bespoke Cantilever Gates
We can offer bespoke cantilever gates when our standard designs are not suitable either in design or sizes available. The range of materials and styles for bespoke cantilever gates includes various timber gates as well as aluminium, both is very modern or traditional styles of design. Many commercial premises have a strong company branding to present externally and we can provide gates to suit the exact brand colours with the ability to also add logos either with laser cutting in the material or just printed on a solid background.
With sizes possible up to 24 metres wide, with 2 converging gates, most commercial entrances are covered by our cantilever gate options available. Whether it is an entrance gate mainly for controlling large vehicles or just mainly pedestrian traffic we have a gate to suit. We even have pedestrian gate options built into the main gate where required to maximise efficiency of access.
Tracked Sliding Gates
When space might be more limited on site then the tracked sliding gate with a floor mounted tracking system might be the answer for your business premises?
Think of a train track and this is fairly similar in principal, a level track on the ground with the sliding gate running on top of this using a series of heavy duty rollers in the bottom of the gate leaf. A rack and pinion system drives the gate leaf open and closed powered by an electric motor situated at the base of the main gate post.
A sliding gate with a bottom track supporting the gate leaf is perfect where the gate needs to be particularly large and possibly heavier than usual.
Benefits of a Tracked Sliding Gate System:
- Great for very wide or tall gates with a totally stable movement
- Very good for security with the gate held very firm when closed
- Can have enhanced security features added like anti climb spikes or razor wire
- Only needs the same space as the gate opening width to one side or half the opening width if split into 2 gate leaves
- One motor, reliable and simpler maintenance over other gate mechanisms
- Easier to specify a wider range of bespoke gate designs as the gate leaf doesn’t need to support itself like a swing gate panel would do.
- Simple manual emergency override in case of power failures
- Partial opening modes for pedestrian access
- Simpler safety detection systems for monitoring gate movements
- 100% duty cycle rating for constant operation where required.
- Fast installation process on site for minimal disruption
In our standard commercial sliding gate ranges we offer the AGD 120T for smaller to medium size openings between 3m and 7.5m wide and up to 2.1m high. Fitted with a 230V motor the gate has 100% duty cycle with a built in cooling fan and oil bath to ensure no overheating occurs.
Available in various standard gate styles this is perfect for domestic and commercial entrances where security is important.
The AGD 200T range offers automated tracked sliding gate styles between 8m and 12m wide.
We also offer a manual version for both the 120T and 220T gate models.
All the gates are manufactured from high quality steel to provide the highest levels of strength and protection from would be intruders.
Powdercoated colours are offered in a wide range of standard choices, or for special colours at extra cost.
Security Fencing
Most of the electric sliding and cantilever gates have matching steel fencing to co ordinate your perimeter security and match the colours too.
We also offer the Hormann industrial sliding security gate systems, with various models offering aluminium or steel sliding gates up to 32m wide using 2 no. 16m gates with no bottom tracking required.
