Automated Sliding Gates
Sliding gates offer a secure, space‑efficient solution for managing vehicle access on commercial, industrial and residential sites. Intelligent Security & Fire design, install and maintain high‑performance sliding gate systems engineered for reliability, safety and long‑term durability.
Whether you’re securing a wide entrance, dealing with uneven ground or simply need a robust automated gate for daily use, our sliding gate solutions provide smooth operation and dependable protection.
Why Choose a Sliding Gate System?
Sliding gates are ideal for entrances where a swing gate would be impractical or unsafe — such as sites with limited space, steep inclines or wide openings. They operate by moving horizontally along a track or cantilever system, making them suitable for heavy‑duty, high‑traffic environments.
Their compact footprint, strong construction and resistance to wind loading make them a popular choice for commercial premises, logistics hubs, industrial estates and secure compounds.
Tracked vs Cantilever Sliding Gates
We supply and install both major types of sliding gate systems:
- Tracked Sliding Gates: These gates run along a ground‑level track, offering smooth, controlled movement. They are ideal for level surfaces and can accommodate very wide openings.
- Cantilever Sliding Gates: Cantilever systems glide above the ground without a track, making them perfect for sites with uneven surfaces, inclines or areas prone to debris. They provide reliable operation with minimal ground preparation.
Our engineers will assess your site and recommend the most suitable system based on width, terrain, usage and security requirements.
What’s Included in a Typical Installation
A complete ISF sliding gate system may include:
- A custom‑built steel or aluminium sliding gate
- Heavy‑duty wheels or cantilever rollers
- A high‑performance gate operator
- Steel rack and pinion drive system
- Control panel and safety interfaces
- Remote controls, keypads or intercom access
- Photoelectric safety sensors to prevent accidents
- Optional ANPR or access‑control integration
Every installation is designed to meet current safety legislation and HSE requirements.
Sliding Gate Motors & Racking Options
Sliding gate motors vary depending on gate size, weight and usage:
- Nylon racking — ideal for residential or light‑duty gates
- Mod4 steel racking — suitable for gates up to 2,600kg
- Mod6 steel racking — engineered for heavy industrial gates up to 6,000kg
Our engineers specify the correct motor and racking combination to ensure smooth, reliable operation.
Maintenance, Repairs & System Takeovers
With over 25 years’ experience, ISF repair, maintain and take over sliding gate systems from all major manufacturers — even if we didn’t install them originally.
We resolve issues such as:
- Slow or unresponsive motors
- Damaged tracks or rollers
- Faulty safety sensors
- Control panel failures
- Compliance and force‑testing issues
Routine maintenance plans are available to keep your system safe, compliant and performing at its best.
