Automated Access Control for Commercial Premises

Our range of automated gates puts you in control of who can access your premises. Providing back-up security, an automated gate leaves you free to focus on building your business. Automated access is ideal in busy industrial settings where high volumes of people and vehicles are coming and going.

With a range of access control systems to choose from, your premises are protected 24/7. At PGE, we're extremely selective about the manufacturers we work with, selecting our products from the highest-quality brands across the UK and Europe.

Every gate we supply is manufactured using quality parts, guaranteeing you years of protection ahead. We supply, install and service a wide range of gates for commercial and industrial applications.

Gate Types in Detail

Each gate type suits different site requirements. Here's a guide to help you choose the right solution for your premises.

Swing Gates

Swing Gates

The design and size of a swing gate usually makes it heavy, especially when constructed in metal. For that reason, automation is practical and may be safer in certain settings than a manual swing gate. Please note, we do supply manual and bi-folding options for customers who have identified these options as preferable. Our powered gates are available in a range of sizes and comply with all safety requirements.

  • Manual and automated options available
  • Available in a range of sizes
  • Compliant with all safety requirements
  • Suitable for a wide range of commercial settings
Sliding Track Gates

Sliding Track Gates

Available in a range of sizes and in manual or automatic versions, a sliding track gate is an efficient way to control access to your premises and to avoid unauthorised intrusions. They are an ideal choice for large commercial settings. Manufactured from steel, they provide excellent security and stability combined with a professional aesthetic.

  • Available up to a maximum width of 32m
  • Raised floor runner - minimal ground preparation
  • Accommodates any vehicle type
  • Relatively low-maintenance motors
Cantilever Gates

Cantilever Gates

Similar in design to the sliding track gates, the cantilever gate operates without a ground-level track. This is ideal for settings where the entrance cannot be disturbed by groundworks such as driveways and in environments where the ground is uneven. As with sliding track gates, the cantilevered gate can slide back neatly behind your perimeter fence (subject to clearance).

  • No ground-level track required
  • Ideal for uneven ground or driveways
  • Slides neatly behind perimeter fence
  • Available in varying widths, heights and finishes
Bi-Fold Gates

Bi-Fold Gates

The optimal solution in situations where space is at a premium or where access speed is an issue. Bi-fold gates are constructed from two panels which can be opened and closed quickly, either manually or automatically. Our bi-fold gates are available in tracked and trackless versions to suit your individual site requirements.

  • Ideal where space is limited
  • Fast opening and closing action
  • Manual or automated operation
  • Tracked and trackless versions available

Access Control Options

Access control keypad and intercom system on security gate

Our comprehensive range of gates are available with a variety of access control systems to suit your site's security requirements and operational needs.

  • Radio control
  • Vehicle detection loop system
  • Fingerprint recognition
  • Remote control
  • Intercom systems

Finish Options

Gate finish options - galvanised and powder coat colour samples

Varying descriptions used by different suppliers can make it hard to compare like with like. At PGE, we always recommend galvanised gates - more durable and resistant to corrosion than powder-coated-only alternatives. We also offer any RAL colour powder coat finish.

  • Galvanised steel (recommended)
  • Any RAL colour powder coat finish
  • Timber clad
  • Metal clad
  • Standard bar construction

Gate Compliance

You'll already be familiar with legislation that affects your business, especially when it comes to health and safety. Ensuring any product you buy is safe and compliant with current legislation is vital.

To summarise, suppliers of equipment like automated gates must ensure that it is safe to use, is sold with instructions for use and maintenance, has a Declaration of Conformity and is CE marked. The manufacturer also has responsibilities with regards to design safety and to ensure their products meet European standards.

Remember that once we've installed your gate, it becomes your responsibility - as described in various pieces of H&S legislation - to maintain it regularly. At PGE, we regularly work with customers to service and maintain their products.

We strongly recommend observing these rules closely, as failure to do so - and in the event of an accident involving a gate on your premises - could result in prosecution.
