Sliding Gate Drives

Sliding gate operator: almost indispensable in gate automation

The sliding gate operator is an essential component for the operation of automatic sliding gates. Sliding gates are frequently used in access routes to factory halls and industrial buildings, but also in private driveways. They not only offer safety and efficiency, but also convenience and reliability in production and manufacturing, as well as in many other areas.

Versatile drive system,
even for heavy loads

A sliding gate operator is suitable even for the heaviest gates: this operator system is designed to move heavy gates effortlessly and precisely. The sliding gate operator is able to move large loads while ensuring smooth opening and closing. This is particularly important in industrial applications where trouble-free operation is crucial for the production process.

Another advantage of a sliding gate operator is its versatility. This type of drive can be used on various types of gates, whether it be a single sliding gate or a double sliding gate with two gates that move in opposite directions. Thanks to this flexibility, it is possible to adapt a sliding gate operator to the specific requirements of individual industrial plants.

Different gate situations

Every gate situation is different, which is why our sliding gate solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications. This is made possible, for example, by the use of an integrated frequency converter or an automatic control system. Electric motors also offer a convincing durability, they are quiet and suitable for all mounting positions.

Self-supporting sliding gate

A self-supporting sliding gate is particularly practical because it does not require a floor rail. This means that a self-supporting sliding gate enables smooth operation even in extreme weather conditions such as snow or on uneven ground.

Sliding gate operator complete sets

A complete set for the sliding gate operator usually includes all the necessary components, such as a motor, control unit and mounting material, thus facilitating installation and quick use in industrial applications, but especially for private garages and halls.

Modern sliding gate operators ensure greater safety in industry

Safety is another important aspect of sliding gate operators – to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of employees and vehicles. Heavy sliding gates are therefore equipped with appropriate sensors that are monitored by the door control unit. These important safety sensors include, among others, safety edges and light curtains, which are also available from doorautomation24.

Safety in the event of a power failure

Even during a power outage, safety must be ensured in both industrial and private areas. To be able to open a solid gate even when there is no electricity, a modern sliding gate operator offers a mechanical emergency release that is manually operated – and with little effort. After the drive has been unlocked from the gate, the gate can be opened or closed manually.

Intelligent controls
enable easy access monitoring

The intelligent control systems of modern industrial doors also enable access monitoring using various sensor solutions. For example, modern sliding gate controls can be expanded with induction loops, Key-switches or non-contact opening sensors. Radar detectors, laser sensors for area monitoring or RFID access systems are particularly popular. These not only provide a higher level of security, but also improved control over access to an industrial site.
