APS designs, supplies and installs commercial electric sliding gates for industrial and commercial sites across the UK. Every gate is engineered in-house, CE certified and tested for maximum reliability before it reaches your site.
Whether you need a motorised sliding gate for a busy logistics depot or a manual system for cost-effective access control, we tailor every installation to your site layout and security requirements. We manage the full process from groundworks and structural supports through to final safety testing.
Automatic sliding gates are ideal for high-traffic commercial environments where access needs to be controlled quickly and safely. Every installation includes a free risk assessment, a high quality gate motor with precision engineered wheels, and safety devices including photocells, resistive safety edges and road induction loops. Single or double leaf configurations are available up to 22 metres wide.
For sites where automation is not required, manual sliding gates are a practical, cost-effective solution. Built for industrial use, they operate via a smooth sliding mechanism with a handle and lock for secure closure. Available up to 22 metres wide with minimal maintenance requirements.
Unlike swing gates, sliding gates move along a track rather than swinging open, making them the most practical choice for sites where space is limited or traffic flow needs to be maintained.
Sufficient clearance is required on one side for the gate to open fully. Our engineers assess this during the free site survey to ensure accurate measurement and a reliable fit. Electric sliding gates can be partially or fully opened and integrated with access control systems for added security.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing gate or installing a new system our team can design and install a solution to suit your site and operation.
Every sliding gate system we install is bespoke, designed around your site layout, access points and security requirements. Custom designs can include pedestrian access gates where needed.
Before installation our engineers carry out a full site survey to assess foundation suitability and key structural measurements. This ensures accurate installation, reliable long-term performance and full compliance with UK safety standards.
Every electric sliding gate is built around a balanced combination of motor, gearbox and intelligent control unit, ensuring smooth operation, energy efficiency and long-term reliability. Safety is built in through automatic reversal and obstacle detection as standard.
Material options include:
Mild steel: Maximum strength and security for industrial sites
Aluminium: Lightweight, corrosion resistant and low maintenance
Timber: Suited to premium commercial frontages where appearance matters
All gates are available in a range of colours to match your branding or building design and can be supplied with matching posts for a seamless finish. Sliding gates can also be installed alongside security fencing for a complete perimeter solution.
We can integrate your sliding gate with a wide range of access control systems and controls to match your security protocol, including options for integration with smart systems and remote management.
Whether you need secure access for staff vehicles or automated visitor entry, APS can provide the right control solution for your site.

The cost of a commercial sliding gate depends on gate size, materials and the level of automation required. As a guide, standard systems start from around £1,000, with fully automated installations including access control and safety integration reaching up to £10,000.
Every quotation from APS is transparent with no hidden extras, covering installation, commissioning and aftercare. All quotes come with a 90-day price guarantee.
Every APS sliding gate installation meets UK and EU safety regulations, including:
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU)
BS EN 12453:2017, the current standard for power-operated doors and gates
All systems are fully tested and risk assessed before handover. Commercial gate operators are legally required to maintain their systems to remain compliant. Our ongoing maintenance contracts ensure your gate stays safe, compliant and operational.
