Expert Sliding Gate Installation
At TWS Automation, we take care of the entire sliding gate installation process from start to finish. Our experienced engineers begin with a site survey to assess your driveway layout and recommend the best configuration. We prepare the track and foundations, install all electrical components, and ensure your new gate operates flawlessly. Every installation is carried out with precision and care to meet current safety standards and to deliver a seamless, long-lasting finish.
Benefits of Electric Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are an ideal solution for homes where space is limited or where driveways are short, sloped, or located near a public road. Unlike traditional swing gates, sliding gates move sideways along a track, requiring no clearance to open inwards or outwards.
They’re also incredibly secure and built to withstand daily use with minimal maintenance.
Our electric sliding gates are powered by a single, robust electric motor, which ensures smooth, quiet operation. This simple mechanism means fewer moving parts, less strain on components, and a much longer lifespan compared to other gate types.
They’re easy to maintain and can be manually operated in case of a power cut.
