Sliding Gates


Sliding gates offer a great alternative to swing gates. Perhaps you prefer sliding gates, or more likely the layout of your property demands a sliding gate as an alternative.

Both roller-tracked AND cantilever gates can be automated using CAME's range of Sliding Gate Motors.

The installation of an electric sliding gate system is a little more involved than any other type of electric gate, but once the correct ground track and/or cantilever roller frames are installed, then the installation follows the same format as with other types of electric gates.

You will almost certainly need a sliding gate if your entrance way if

  • Limited room for swing gate wings to open in, compromising possible parking space.
  • Turns sharply left or right and a swinging gate would create an obstruction to the turning vehicle.
  • Is on a steep upward incline preventing a swing gate wing from opening up the drive.

Our trained engineers will be more than happy to visit your property to discuss which system would be the most effective solution for your needs.

There are two different types of sliding gate mechanism

  • A tracked sliding gate runs on wheels along a grooved steel rail that is buried just below ground level.
  • A cantilever gate (pictured in the background) is counterbalanced above the ground, supported by rollers fitted to the bottom of the gate. The advantage of a cantilever gate is that you don't have to keep the track free of leaves - however, cantilever gates are generally more expensive as they require more civil engineering.

Fencing and Gate Health & Safety


Safety is of paramount importance to us, and is a requirement by law. Our electricians are Part-P qualified, all our engineers are fully trained to ensure your electric gates meet stringent safety standards and machinery directives.

We always recommend the installation of mechanical sensitive edges and 'magic eye' style safety sensors to ensure your system is as safe as possible. We may also recommend using 24 volt supplies instead of mains and utilising proximity sensors and cut-offs.
