At Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems, we specialise in premium commercial and industrial sliding gate automation, providing secure, reliable, and long-lasting access solutions across Australia and internationally.
We understand the importance of dependable automatic gate systems in commercial and industrial environments. Our automated sliding gates not only deliver the peace of mind that comes with superior perimeter security, but they also enhance your property’s appearance and operational efficiency.
Custom Design and Manufacture
All of our sliding gates are custom-designed and fabricated to meet each site’s specific needs. Using high-quality materials and proven automation technology, we build gates that deliver both performance and durability.
Our range includes:
- Industrial sliding gates for warehouses, factories, and logistics yards
- Commercial sliding gates for offices, car parks, and retail complexes
- High-security sliding gates for utilities, government facilities, and restricted zones
Each gate is manufactured with attention to strength, safety, and aesthetics, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your site’s architecture and security infrastructure.
Why Choose Automated Sliding Gates?
Sliding gates are ideal for heavy-duty and high-traffic applications, offering a smooth, space-efficient solution where swing gates may not be practical. They move parallel to the fence line, maintaining clear driveways and maximising usable space.
Fabricated from aluminium or steel, our sliding gates are engineered for strength, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance. They can be tailored to suit your operational and aesthetic requirements with options for track or cantilever systems, depending on your site conditions.
Commercial sliding gates provide:
- Reliable access control for busy or restricted areas
- Fast, smooth operation for efficient vehicle movement
- High resistance to wind loading and wear
- Long-term durability with low maintenance requirements
How Do Automated Sliding Gates Work?
A commercial sliding gate is typically built as a single heavy-duty gate leaf that moves along a raised track or cantilever rail. The automation system features a motor and pinion gear that engages with a toothed rack mounted to the underside of the gate, driving it open and closed with precision and control.
Automation components include:
- High-torque industrial motors (240Vac, 36V or 24V)
- Control units with programmable logic
- Safety systems (photocells, pressure sensors, flashing light/strobe)
- Access control devices such as keypads, card readers, or vehicle loops
These systems are designed for frequent operation, making them ideal for industrial facilities, logistics yards, and large commercial car parks.
What is Required in an Automated Sliding Gate System?
Foundations
Reinforced concrete footings are required to support the track, guide posts, and motor pad. Proper foundation design ensures level operation and long-term reliability.
Gate Design
Industrial sliding gates are built for performance and aesthetics.
- Materials: Aluminium (lightweight and rust-resistant) or steel (for maximum strength).
- Finishes: Hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated for durability.
- Security: Optional anti-climb features, solid infills, or mesh panels.
Power Supply
Automated sliding gates require a reliable power source:
- Mains Power (240V AC): The preferred option for consistency and low maintenance.
- Low-Voltage Power Feed: Suitable for some installations.
- Solar Power: A practical solution where mains power is not available, though it may require more upkeep.
- Battery Backup: Available with most systems to ensure operation during outages.
Systems typically run on 240V AC, 36V, 24V, or 12V, depending on the site and equipment.
Automation and Access Control
Automation packages include:
- Motor, rack, and control board
- Enclosures, receivers, and remote controls
- Optional access control integration with card readers, intercoms, vehicle loops, or smart systems
Applications
Our commercial and industrial sliding gates are suitable for a wide range of facilities, including:
- Warehouses and distribution centres
- Factories and manufacturing plants
- Office and retail complexes
- Hospitals and schools
- Strata and multi-residential car parks
- Utilities, depots, and transport terminals
Security
Automated sliding gates offer strong and reliable protection with advanced built-in features designed to prevent tampering and unauthorised access. These gates combine smart technology with durable components to provide peace of mind and long-term security for your industrial and commercial property.
Optional security features include:
- Anti-lift tabs – prevent the gate from being lifted off its pinion when closed.
- Reed switches – detect unauthorised movement or tampering.
- Managed remote controls – ensure only approved users can operate the gate.
- Locked receiver cards – prevent code copying and interference.
Together, these features deliver a secure, intelligent, and easy-to-use system that keeps your property protected at all times.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is critical for commercial sites with vehicles and pedestrians. Our systems are accompanied with various optional safety devices, including:
- Obstacle detection and anti-crushing features
- Safety photocells or light curtains
- Manual release options in case of emergency
- Flashing lights and audible alerts for moving gates
Our installations are designed to comply with Australian Standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Maintenance and Preventative Care
We offer Preventative Maintenance Agreements (PMAs) for all commercial clients to ensure continued reliability and safety of your automated gate system.
Regular maintenance helps:
- Extend the lifespan of your operator
