At GDUK Door Solutions, our automatic sliding gate combines robust security with a sleek, space-saving design. Engineered for smooth and efficient operation, they are the ideal choice for entrances where space is limited but reliability and performance are essential.
Available in tracked, cantilever, and heavy-duty models, our gates can be customised in size, infill, and finish to suit any site requirements. With advanced control systems, near-silent motors, and integrated safety features, they offer the perfect balance of strength, convenience, and professional presentation.
What are the benefits of an automatic sliding gate?
Space-saving design: Ideal for properties with limited room, as gates slide along the fence line rather than swinging inward or outward.
Secure & durable: Manufactured from high-strength steel with reliable drive systems for long-term protection.
Smooth, quiet operation: motors and precision gearboxes ensure efficient, near-silent movement.
Advanced safety features: Equipped with safety edges, photocells, and emergency stop systems for full compliance.
Customisable finishes: Wide range of infill options and colours available to match site requirements or architectural style.
