Swing Gates − Ram Operators
Ram operators are sleek, modern and fit neatly on the rear face of the gates about waist height. These operators are easier to fit and are lower cost than the underground systems, but are slightly more obtrusive. Hydraulic ram operators are generally fitted in higher duty situations such as multi-user entrances.

Sliding Gates − Tracked
The usual arrangement is for a single gate to slide across the opening, requiring a space for the gate to move into which is somewhat greater than the size of the gate opening. Where space is a premium, tracked sliding gates can be supplied as a pair of bi-parting gates.
Sliding Gates − Cantilever
A sliding cantilever gate does not require a track across the opening and is therefore suited to areas with uneven/slopping entrances. A cantilever is mounted on precision made carriages fixed to a substantial concrete foundation to counter balance the gate overhang. The total length of the gate is approximately 50% longer than the opening so that the gate is cantilevered when closed. The side space required for a cantilever gate is therefore greater than that for a tracked sliding gate.
Swing Gates − Underground Operators
The underground operator for each gate leaf is contained in a secure steel foundation box concreted into the ground at the base of each pillar. The gate automation is unobtrusive and visually very neat – all that shows is the steel lid.
