Why Choose a Sliding Gate for Your Business?

Sliding gates are perfect for commercial properties where space and security are key. Unlike swing gates which require a large opening radius, sliding systems move along a track, maximising usable space and maintaining traffic flow.

Sliding gates require sufficient clearance on one side for the gate to slide open fully. To ensure your gate fits perfectly the correct opening width must be measured at the entrance. Sliding gates are particularly ideal for large openings, such as those found at commercial or industrial entrances.

Our electric sliding gates can be partially or fully opened to control access efficiently and can also integrate with existing access control systems for added security.

Custom Built for Your Site and Specification

Every site is unique; that’s why all our sliding gate systems are bespoke. Custom designs can also include pedestrian access gates for easy entry or exit.

Before installation our engineers carry out a full site survey to assess foundation suitability, access points and safety considerations. During the survey engineers will identify key measurement points, such as the highest point of the gate and critical structural locations, to ensure accurate installation and optimal gate performance. This means your gate will operate reliably, meet UK safety standards and integrate with your existing security infrastructure.

Gate Mechanisms and Materials

Every electric sliding gate we install has a carefully balanced combination of motor, gearbox and intelligent control unit. These components ensure smooth and reliable operating features, energy efficiency and long term reliability. The longevity of sliding gates is mainly due to their balanced design. Safety is built into every system through automatic reversal and obstacle detection.

We offer sliding gates in:

  • Mild steel: Unbeatable strength and security
  • Aluminium: Lightweight, corrosion resistant and modern
  • Timber: Elegant finish for premium commercial frontages

     

For installation and aesthetic coherence, sliding gates can be supplied with matching posts to ensure a proper fit and a seamless appearance.

All finishes are available in a range of colours to match your branding or building design.

Sliding gates can also be installed with fences to provide a complete and secure perimeter solution for commercial properties.

Customised Access Control Options

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.
