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 Swindon, Borough of Swindon

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.

In a built-up area like Swindon, many jobs are in blocks of flats, mixed-use buildings and car parks, so access, parking for our vans and out-of-hours working are planned at survey.

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.
