Local Expertise You Can Trust

Each area we serve has its own character — and its own challenges when it comes to gate automation.

• In rural Herefordshire, many of our customers have wide farm or country driveways that need durable swing or sliding gates with remote access.

Our engineers are fully trained and GateSafe Accredited, ensuring every installation meets the latest UK safety standards (BS EN 12453) and is designed for long-term reliability.

🧰 1.

By Operation Type (How the Gate Opens)

🔹 Swing Gates

• Single Swing Gate – One leaf that opens inward or outward.

• Double Swing Gate – Two leaves that open from the centre.

• Tracked Swing Gate – Supported by a ground track for heavy gates.

• Articulated Arm Gate – Uses hinged arms, ideal where posts are set back.

• Underground Motor Gate – Discreet automation with motors installed below ground.

🔹 Sliding Gates

• Tracked Sliding Gate – Runs along a ground track; ideal for sloped driveways or limited swing space.

• Cantilever Sliding Gate – No ground track; the gate “floats” using rollers — great for uneven ground or industrial sites.

• Telescopic Sliding Gate – Multi-panel design where sections slide behind each other, perfect for tight spaces.

🔹 Bi-Folding Gates

• Automatic Bi-Fold Gate – Hinged panels fold inward or outward; fast-opening option often used for commercial premises or short driveways.

🔹 Vertical & Lifting Gates

• Vertical Lift Gate – Raises straight up (common in tight industrial areas).

• Vertical Pivot Gate – Lifts and rotates open; useful when space is restricted.

🔹 Barrier Systems

• Automatic Traffic Barriers – For car parks, entrances, and commercial sites.

• Rising Arm Barriers – Standard car park barriers.

• Height Restriction Barriers – For controlling high-vehicle access.
