About sliding gates

A sliding gate runs sideways along a ground track (or on rollers) parallel to the boundary, driven by an operator with a pinion gear that engages a steel or nylon rack fixed to the gate. Because it moves across the opening rather than into the drive, it is the usual choice where the entrance slopes or where there is no room for leaves to swing.

Sliding gates are common on industrial units, depots, schools, apartment blocks and larger homes with short driveways or sloping entrances. Operators are sized by gate weight and duty cycle, from domestic 400 kg units to industrial motors for 2,000 kg plus.

Local considerations in Ormskirk, Lancashire

In England, powered gates and barriers are machinery: they must be installed and maintained so they are safe in use (BS EN 12453 force limits, photocells and safety edges) under health and safety law, and any gate onto a road must not open over the highway.

Work in Ormskirk is a mix of residential blocks, schools, offices, industrial units and homes, and we tailor the specification to how busy the site is.

We check the run-back length, the level of the track, the foundation for the motor base, the cable route for power and controls, and the gap between gate and posts (trapping points). Safety photocells, edges on the leading and trailing edges and a warning light are normally fitted.

Maintenance of sliding gates in Ormskirk

We service CAME and all other makes: we check fixings, wear, power and battery backup, controls and safety devices, adjust and lubricate where needed, test operation end to end and leave a written report with any recommended actions.
