Electric Gate Automation
Electric gates transform how you access your property. No more getting out of the car in the rain, no more manually opening heavy gates, just smooth automated entry at the touch of a button or swipe of a fob. Our installations are carried out to the highest standards, meeting all current safety regulations so that your new system operates safely and reliably for years to come.
Every property is different, and factors like gate weight, available space, ground conditions and usage frequency all influence which automation system will work best. Our technical expertise means we can advise on the most suitable equipment for your specific situation.
Swing Gates With Articulated Arms
Swing gates are a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties. Using articulated arm operators, these systems open your gates inwards or outwards depending on your driveway layout. Articulated arms are visible above ground, making them easier to maintain and service. They work well on level ground and can automate gates of various sizes and weights.
We've installed articulated arm systems across Lancashire, Cheshire and Manchester for properties ranging from private homes to business premises. The arms are robust and built to withstand frequent use, making them ideal for busy commercial sites as well as domestic driveways.
Sliding Gate Systems
Where space is limited, sliding gates offer an excellent alternative to swing gates. These systems run along a track, requiring space to one side rather than in front of or behind the gate line. Sliding automation is particularly suited to larger, heavier gates and locations with restricted clearance.
Our sliding gate installations have included small residential properties through to large commercial and industrial sites. The systems we install are built to handle high usage cycles, making them reliable for factory entrances, business parks and gated communities as well as private homes.
Underground Gate Automation
For a discreet installation where no visible automation equipment is required, underground systems are the premium choice. The motor and mechanism are housed below ground level, leaving your gates looking clean and uncluttered. This option is popular with properties where aesthetics are a priority or where planning requirements favour a minimal visual impact.
Underground automation can be fitted to new installations or retrofitted to existing gates. We've completed underground automation projects across the North West for both residential and commercial customers who want effective automation without compromising the appearance of their entrance.
Automated Gate Arms & Barriers
Rising arm barriers provide a practical solution for car parks, industrial estates, warehouses and anywhere requiring vehicle access control. These systems are quick to operate, highly visible and can be integrated with access control technology like keypads, card readers or automatic number plate recognition.
Our barrier installations range from single arms for small business car parks to multiple barrier systems for large commercial and industrial sites throughout Lancashire, Cheshire and Manchester.

Automating Your Existing Gates
Already have gates but want the convenience of automation? We can automate most existing gate installations, assessing your current setup and recommending compatible automation equipment. This is often more cost effective than replacing gates entirely, particularly if your existing gates are well made and in good condition.
We'll inspect your gates, check the hinges, posts and overall structure, then advise whether automation is viable. If modifications are needed to support the automation equipment, we'll explain what's required. The result is a fully automated system that works as reliably as if it had been installed from new.
