Why Choose Automated Sliding Gates?
Though sliding gates are generally used for commercial applications, they are a fantastic addition to any residential property where efficient use of space is required. They can be easily customised and made from materials such as timber, steel or aluminium. Sliding gates also offer an additional security benefit, as they’re much more difficult to open.
If you’re after a cost-effective automated gate system, a sliding gate is an excellent choice as only one motor is required to service a large opening. Sliding gates also offer the choice of installing a track or cantilever system, for your home or business. A Brisbane-based technician can assist you to determine which option is best suited for you.
How do Automated Sliding Gates Work?
Sliding gates typically have a single door, which runs on a motorised rail system.
An automatic gate system requires a long, narrow channel for the gate to slide across when opening or closing. This type of gate can protect large entrances, entrances on a hill, or any space where you don’t want to crowd the property with swing gates.
How do You Choose the Right Automated Sliding Gate?
When choosing the right motor for the system, you should consider the length and weight of the door. Our friendly Brisbane technician will gladly assist you to ensure your requirements are met.
You don’t have to worry about safety with our sliding gates, because they all come with safety systems. To avoid damage to any object or persons, the automatic gates have both sensitive edges and anti-crushing/obstacle detection technology, which reverses the movement of the gate when the gate is obstructed. Our gates are safe for your property and your family.
How Much to Install a Sliding Gate Operator, Motor or Opener?
Automatic sliding gates start at around $2000, including both the gate and the automated system. If you already have a sliding gate and only wish to add an operator, motor or opener, you can expect costs to start in the range of $700. This includes the gate opener unit, starting at $300, the control board, starting at $100, and the labour costs, starting at $300.
If you have any special add-ons, these will add to the cost. The type of gate you have, and how it’s situated, will also impact what you’ll pay. Heavy gates need stronger motors, and gates that are more difficult to access/work on will require added labour. Also, the brand of operator you choose may impact the price. Because of all these varying factors, it’s important to talk to an automatic gate installer like Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems for a comprehensive quote based on your needs.
