Suffolk Sliding Gates - A sliding gate can be the answer to a complex security question. How do you secure an area which requires vehicular access but doesn't have the room for a swing gate.

This can be from a lack of physical space, gate wings can cause all sorts of issues when you are trying to manouvre a larger vehicle in a small space.

It could just be the angle of the ground, even quite shallow slopes can stop a gate wing from opening properly, causing an obstacle to movement.

Or it may simply be the angle of the entryway, where a gate wing would be in the way. We can offer our gates, fabricated and installed specifically to get around these problems.

With either sliding or cantilevered operation, you get a fully opening gate which, when open, is nicely tucked out of the way.

These gates are typically better served by automation than traditional wings. The weight of a security gate is typically counteracted by a well balanced hinge, but sliding gates and cantilevered gates don't have hinges, although the operation is made as light as possible, manual actions on the doors can affect the balance, requiring servicing more often.
