Existing Gates
Automating existing gates present few problems and often can be done with little or no modifications. We can carry out any modifications, specify the operators suitable for the task and install them.
New Gates
We have a selection of both hardwood and softwood gates that are suitable for automation as well as metal gates
Types of Automation Systems
The Poole Fencing Company can provide gate systems involving either Swing Gates or Sliding Gates. Within each of these categories we can provide different types of drive units, including hydraulic and electromechanical solutions both above and blow ground level.
Linear Automation
Linear operators are mounted on the back of the post. They are used to automate gates mounted on wooden or metal posts. They can be used to automate existing gates or as part of a new installation.
Underground Automation
Underground operators are designed to be set directly under the gate, usually replacing the bottom hinge. They are the most discrete form of automation and are especially useful for maintaining the appearance of metal gates.
Articulated Arm Automation
Articulated Arm operators are used to automate gates mounted on brick piers. They are ideal for metal gates where undergrounds are not suitable. They can also be used to automate existing gates or as part of a new installation.
Sliding Gate Automation
Sliding Gate operators are designed to be set at the back of a sliding gate and open the gate by rotating a gear which connects to a toothed rack which is fitted to the gate. Sliding Gates are an ideal solution for entrances where gates are unable to swing due to lack of space or sloping drives.
Safety Features
Health and safety are very important issues when considering an automatic security gate system. Poorly installed systems can cause damage or injury to your vehicles, you/your family or friends and even your pets. It goes without saying that all automatic gate systems installed by the Poole Fencing Company have in built safety features.
