Have you decided that it’s time to update the fence around your building, or do you want to upgrade your gate automation system? With several options out there, how do you decide what’s best for your company and employees’ security? It all comes down to how you want your automated gate to function: sliding or swinging.
Automatic Gate Types
Slide: These gates slide horizontally to permit vehicular traffic. There are options for single- and double-gate assemblies, which slide left or right, effectively clearing the driveway. Slide gates require a track and roller assembly that is installed parallel to the fence line. These gates work best along flat driveways with enough space on either side to accommodate them.
Swing: These gates swing open like a regular door. There are options for single- and double-gate assemblies, which rotate inward to clear the driveway. The type of operator will determine if it uses a lever or an articulated arm to pivot the gates open and closed. These gates require less space than slide gates to open and shut.
