Sliding gate drives – comfort and security for your driveway
An automatic sliding gate operator not only provides greater convenience but also added security for your home or commercial property. Instead of laboriously opening the gate by hand, simply press a button – and the gate opens or closes reliably and automatically. Ideal for busy driveways, large gate systems, or situations with adverse weather.
How does a sliding gate operator work?
A sliding gate operator consists of a drive motor that moves the gate sideways along a guide rail. Either 24 V DC or 230 V AC motors are used, depending on the gate size, weight, and frequency of use. Control is usually via a remote control, push buttons, smartphone app, or smart home automation.
Advantages of a sliding gate operator
- Convenience: Open and close conveniently via remote control or app.
- Safety: Automatic obstacle detection and soft stop/start function protect people and vehicles.
- Durability: Robust technology for heavy-duty use and a long service life.
- Space-saving: Ideal for confined spaces as the gate runs sideways.
- Versatility: Suitable for private driveways, commercial gates or industrial applications.
