Sliding gates operate with either a cantilever or tracked system, where the gate leaf or leaves slide to open and close. Sliding gates are ideal for applications where a swinging motion is not practical, or enhanced security is required. They also provide improved strength against wind loading, and reduced wear and tear on hinges over time, when compared to swing gates. Our sliding gates are available with manual or automated operation.
Tracked sliding gates run along a fixed rail embedded into level ground, providing a stable and reliable solution for securing larger entrances. This system allows for increased weight capacity, making it perfect for heavy-duty industrial or commercial applications.
All our automated sliding gates are UKCA/CE marked in compliance with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. We offer professional installation and automation, carried out by our DHF Level 2 trained engineers, with a 25-month automation guarantee for peace of mind.
A perfect match to our vertical bar railings, vertical bar sliding gates are available in any style including the Barbican® range, Sentry® and Tri-Guard®. Vertical bar sliding gates are our most popular type of sliding gate due to their smart appearance and durability. Constructed from tubular steel and with welded pale-through-rail construction, vertical bar sliding gates are strong and secure, yet lightweight. Available as tracked or cantilever gates, in double or single leaf configuration.
