Sliding or Swing Gate: Which Automation Suits You?

Space, ground and gate weight usually make the decision for you.

Look at your space

Sliding gates need a clear run beside the opening; swing gates need room to open in front of or behind the gate.

Check the ground

Swing gates prefer level ground. Sliding gates cope better with a rise, but need a clean, well-drained track.

Match weight and use

Heavy or busy gates need a stronger operator. Share size, weight and daily use so we can size the motor.

Think about looks

Underground swing operators keep the entrance neat, while sliding gates have a compact footprint.
