Palisade Sliding Gate – Distribution Centre

Description

On a distribution centre with the scale of daily vehicle traffic through the centre makes a swing gate’s arc impractical, so the entrance closes by sliding while keeping the same solid, secure appearance. Each gate leaves us as a finished, made-to-measure unit, fully fabricated and available either manually operated or ready to automate.

A palisade sliding gate travels one of two ways — tracked or cantilever. A cantilever system avoids a ground-level track altogether, carrying the gate on rollers along a track fixed to a concrete pad off to one side of the opening. Let us know your opening width and the ground conditions on site and we’ll recommend the right system for your distribution centre.

We work from your genuine opening dimensions rather than a preset width band, including the overhang a cantilever system needs to clear the opening when open.

The same range of profiles and finishes used on our fixed fencing applies here too — W-section or D-section, triple pointed, single pointed, rounded and notched, or plain rounded — keeping the sliding gate consistent with the rest of the boundary.

We supply palisade sliding gates manually operated or ready to automate, fitting the complete system during installation if needed. That predictable, repeatable travel path is well suited to motorised operation regardless of traffic volume.

As standard, hot-dip galvanising protects every gate first, with a polyester powder coat available afterwards in whichever RAL shade suits your site. For a site needing visibility more than a solid, imposing look, our mesh sliding gate offers the same tracked-or-cantilever choice with a more open construction. We supply complete, ready-to-install gates nationwide, with automation and fitting available if you’d rather leave it to us. Ring 02089116000 to talk about the details.
