Making the right choice …
Swing Gates
Electro-Mechanical equipment is generally designed for the domestic user and has a duty cycle which suits family residences and entrances that are not busy throughout the day. Electro-hydraulic equipment is generally designed for a higher duty cycle and is suitable for busy entrances and prestige gates. Our hydraulic gate operators are fully serviceable and, if properly maintained, will give many years of reliable service.
Post mounted operators (Mechanical or Hydraulic) are fixed to the gate post and a sturdy cross member on the gate. It is important that they are fitted to specific measurements in relation to the gate hinge.
Underground operators (Mechanical or Hydraulic) fit below ground level and it is important that the operator driveshaft aligns with the gate hinge. We take care of the entire progect so you can rest assured whichever system we fit, it will be the correct one.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates offer a number of advantages over swing gates and are generally the more popular choice in mainland Europe. Why ..?
A sliding gate does not need the space that a swing gate requires to open. This leaves the full length of the driveway usable for parking vehicles and is useful where space is restricted.
A closed sliding gate offers better resistance to being forced than a pair of swing gates and therefore higher security. Sliding gates will work across an upward sloping driveway where a pair of swing gates would not open inwards.
