Electric Sliding Gates for Melbourne
Electric sliding gates (also known as automatic sliding gates) are becoming more popular. The reason why they are becoming so popular is that they are great at reducing the space needed for a vehicle to access a driveway.
We offer more than just one brand of electric gates. Because of this we guarantee you will get an electric sliding gate system that suit's your budget, home and lifestyle.
Electric sliding gates are usually fabricated using a 50 x 50mm frame with the bottom rail 100mm x 50mm to incorporate the wheels. Gate posts are needed on either side of the electric gate that suits both the style of the electric sliding gate as well as their size and weight.

Benefits of electric sliding gates
Electric gates are also great for homes that are on busy roads. This is because it makes it quicker to get in and out of driveways. Best of all, electric gates will also enhance the overall look and value of a home.
Electric sliding gates also make great driveway gates when you have uneven ground where it is impractical to use a driveway hinged gate. These types of reasons have seen electric sliding gates becoming extremely popular for both residential and commercial properties.
Instead of the usual swing arc, the electric gate simply slides across the access point of the driveway. These electric sliding gates are not connected directly to a gate post, but are configured into a slide frame.
These types of electric driveway gates are most often used for vehicle access, but some people use them for pedestrian access gates too. Electric sliding gates come in a wide variety of styles to suit your individual needs.

Electric Sliding Gate Motors
All our driveway electric sliding gates use low voltage motors of a range from 24 volt up to 240 volt. The size of the motor for an automatic sliding gate depends on the weight of the gate.
Most domestic driveway gates do not weigh more than 300kg (unless they are made of wrought iron or stainless steel) so only a small motor is needed.
The opening and closing speed of the gate can vary from around 200mm per second to 950mm per second.
