Sliding and Automatic Garden Gates

A sliding garden gate is an automatic perimeter gate whose leaf moves horizontally along the wall under motor drive to open and close the entrance. It is produced with galvanised steel or aluminium leaves in tracked or cantilever (trackless) versions. With remote control, photocells, battery-backed motors and smartphone opening, it is installed made to measure at residential complex, villa and factory entrances.

On a tracked gate, the leaf runs on a ground track. On a cantilever gate, the leaf is carried on support rollers outside the opening; with no ground track, it is unaffected by snow, ice and sand. The tracked system is more economical, while the cantilever system is preferred for uneven ground or heavy-duty entrances and requires extra wall length beside the leaf.

A gate motor is selected according to the leaf weight, opening width, gate type and daily cycle count. Motor capacities range from 400 kg to 2500 kg. For heavy use such as residential complex entrances, industrial-grade motors with battery modules are preferred, while standard motors are sufficient for villas and detached houses.

Yes, an automatic garden gate can be opened and closed from a smartphone via a GSM or Wi-Fi module. An authorised user list is defined and gate status notifications are received. The system works together with video intercoms, number plate recognition cameras, remote controls and keypads, providing shared management at residential complex and villa entrances.

With battery-backed motors, the garden gate keeps working during a power cut; the battery provides a set number of open-close cycles depending on its capacity. Without a battery, the key-operated release on the motor is unlocked to disengage the gear and the leaf is slid by hand. When power returns, the release is locked again and the gate returns to automatic operation.
