Commercial and Industrial Electric Gates
Premier Gate Automation designs, installs and maintains commercial and industrial electric gate systems engineered for continuous operation, safety and long-term reliability.
Our gate installations protect logistics centres, industrial yards, schools, hospitals, retail parks and managed estates. Each system is specified for duty cycle, site conditions and compliance, integrating seamlessly with modern access control and monitoring systems.
All systems are installed, tested and documented in line with current UK powered gate safety guidance.
Bi-Folding Speed Gates
Bi-folding speed gates are designed for sites where fast operation and security are equally important.
Key features:
- High-frequency, continuous-use design
- Short opening cycle, typically 6–10 seconds
- Compatibility with access control, safety and monitoring systems
- Fabrication in steel or aluminium to suit site requirements
Typical applications include:
- Distribution and logistics centres
- Car parks and business parks
- Emergency service facilities
High-Performance Gates for Demanding Environments
Commercial electric gates operate in high-traffic, safety-critical environments where reliability is essential.
We specify UK-engineered gate assemblies and high-duty automation equipment selected for:
- Continuous or high-cycle operation
- Large or heavy gate leaves
- Vehicle and pedestrian separation
- Integration with access control and site security systems
We also service, upgrade and take over maintenance of existing commercial gates installed by other contractors.
Cantilever Sliding Gates
Cantilever sliding gates are well suited to uneven ground or heavy-duty industrial use.
Key benefits include:
- Robust galvanised steel construction
- Suitability for wide openings and large vehicles
- Reduced ground maintenance
- Integrated safety devices and obstacle detection
Commonly installed at logistics depots, industrial yards and high-security commercial sites.
Automation and Access Control Integration
Automation systems are specified based on gate weight, usage frequency and operational requirements.
Integration options include:
- Keypads, fobs, swipe cards and GSM control
- ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)
- Intercom and CCTV integration
- Fire alarm and building management system compatibility
- Networked control for multi-site operations
Every system is fully tested and commissioned with documented certification and handover.
Telescopic Sliding Gates
Where run-back space is limited, telescopic sliding gates provide a secure solution with a reduced footprint.
Ideal for:
- Urban and constrained sites
- Service yards and car parks
- Industrial entrances with limited clearance
Each system is custom fabricated in steel or aluminium and configured for reliable, high-duty operation.
School Gates and Public Sector Projects
Premier Gate Automation supports the safeguarding and security requirements of schools, academies and public sector sites.
Typical solutions include:
- Automated school entrance gates
- Pedestrian access gates with intercom or fob entry
- Perimeter security upgrades and safety improvements
- Full compliance documentation for safeguarding audits

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact Our TeamCantilever gates operate without a ground track and are supported by structural posts and counterbalance. They are commonly used for commercial, industrial and high-security environments where ground tracks are impractical.
Bi-folding gates fold in sections to reduce space requirements, while telescopic gates use multiple leaves to reduce run-back space. These systems are commonly specified for restricted entrances and architectural projects.
Yes. Regular servicing is required to ensure safety, reliability and compliance. Service frequency depends on usage levels, environment and risk profile.
Electric gates and barriers are classed as machinery and fall under UK health and safety legislation, including the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Supply of Machinery Regulations. Industry guidance from the Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) and Gate Safe also applies.
The owner or duty holder is responsible for ensuring the system remains safe and maintained. This applies to homeowners, landlords, managing agents and commercial organisations.
If safe to do so, isolate the system and contact a qualified engineer. Do not attempt to repair or modify the system yourself.
Electric gates are safe when correctly designed, installed and maintained in line with UK legislation and recognised industry guidance. Compliant systems incorporate appropriate mechanical design, safeguarding measures and safety devices, supported by risk assessment and ongoing maintenance.
