An automatic gate opens and closes via an electric motor and control system, removing the need for manual operation. Systems are activated through access controls such as keypads, fobs, intercoms or ANPR, and incorporate safety devices to ensure compliant, controlled movement.
Automatic gate systems can be tailored to suit the gate type, usage levels and security requirements of any commercial or industrial site, all in line with UK gate safety regulations.
Installing automatic gates delivers clear operational and security benefits:
Enhanced perimeter protection
Controlled vehicle and pedestrian access
Improved traffic flow on busy sites
Reduced manual handling and staffing requirements
Professional appearance that reflects well on your premises
Every system is designed for reliability and low maintenance, even in high-use commercial environments.
Commercial sliding gates are ideal for sites where space is limited. They operate laterally along a track or cantilever system, making them well-suited to large entrances and heavy daily use on industrial and commercial sites.
Commercial swing gates offer a classic appearance with modern automated performance. Available in single or double leaf configurations, they are suited to controlled access points where sufficient swing space is available. Installation options include underground or ram motors to suit your site.
APS manages the full process from design and installation through to long-term support. Every system is assembled and tested in-house, meets UK safety standards and is backed by a nationwide engineer network.

The cost of automating your gate depends on a few factors: what sort of gate you’ve got, how big it is, how heavy it is, what kind of automation system it needs and what the conditions are like at your site. As a rule, retrofitting automation to an existing gate is often more cost-effective than installing a whole new system, provided the gate structure can take it. A site visit lets us check feasibility and give you a proper quote.
The cost of installing an automated gate will depend on whether it’s for a house, a business or an industrial site. Things like access control, safety gear, groundworks and power supply all add to the cost. Commercial automatic gates tend to need more robust components to cope with frequent use.
Yes. Commercial gate operators are legally required to maintain their systems to remain safe and compliant. APS offers ongoing maintenance contracts including scheduled inspections, safety checks, and 24/7 emergency callout.
No. UK regulations require automated gates to meet specific safety standards. Incorrect installation creates safety risks and legal liability. Professional installation by qualified engineers ensures your system is safe, compliant, and properly warranted.
