With the right automation system, commercial swing gates combine convenience, durability, and security, ensuring your property is protected while maintaining efficient vehicle and pedestrian access.
Custom Design and Manufacture
All of our swing 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 swing gates for warehouses, factories, and logistics yards
- Commercial swing gates for offices, car parks, and retail complexes
- High-security swing 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 Swing Gates for Commercial Sites?
Swing gates are often the preferred solution where a sliding gate is not practical due to site layout or space restrictions. They create a strong visual presence at an entry, projecting authority and professionalism while also delivering practical access control.
At Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems, we design and install heavy-duty swing gates using reinforced aluminium or steel, ensuring long service life with minimal maintenance. Combined with high-torque motors and advanced access control, our gates are built to handle frequent daily use in demanding environments.
How Do Automated Swing Gates Work?
Commercial swing gates operate much like oversized hinged doors, but are engineered with structural reinforcements and industrial-grade automation systems to handle heavy loads and constant use.
The system typically includes:
- Actuators: Either linear worm-drive or articulated arm motors, depending on post design and available clearance.
- Control Unit: Manages opening and closing cycles, safety inputs, and access commands.
- Safety Systems: Photoelectric beams, obstacle detection, and optional light/sound alerts.
- Access Control Integration: Card readers, intercoms, keypads, or remote systems.
When activated, the motors push or pull the gate leaves open, requiring clear space to swing through. Careful planning is essential to ensure the automation is matched to gate size, weight, hinge type, and site conditions.
What is Required in a Commercial Swing Gate System?
Foundations
Heavy-duty piers or posts set in reinforced concrete to support the gate leaves and absorb automation forces.
Gate Design
Fabricated from aluminium or steel with powder-coated finishes for durability. Adjustable hinge systems allow for ongoing alignment, while physical stops improve reliability. Designs may incorporate anti-climb profiles, mesh, or privacy panels for added security.
Power Supply
Commercial swing gates are usually powered by 240V AC motors, though 36V or 24V systems with battery backup are also available. Solar-powered options can be used in remote areas where mains power is unavailable.
Wiring & Cabling
For dual swing gates, wiring between the master and slave gates ensures synchronized operation. Conduits and trenching may be required for new installations.
Automation and Access Control
Industrial actuators, control board, and receiver, combined with optional accessories such as:
- Vehicle induction loops
- Wireless or hardwired keypads
- Card and fob access systems
- Video/audio intercoms
- Smartphone app integration

Security
Automated swing gates provide outstanding protection through a combination of advanced locking systems and intelligent access control technology. Each component is designed to prevent unauthorised entry and ensure long-term reliability for both industrial and commercial properties.
Optional security features include:
- Electromagnetic locking mechanisms – hold the gate securely closed, preventing forced entry.
- Drop and drive bolts – provide additional strength and stability against impact or prying.
- Reed switches – monitor gate position and detect any unauthorised movement or tampering.
- Managed remote controls – ensure only approved users can access and operate the system.
- Locked receiver cards – protect against code copying and signal interference.
Together, these features create a tamper-resistant, intelligent security solution that safeguards your property with both strength and precision.

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
