Ragley wrought iron gates with underground automation.

Cherwell cedar automated swing gates.

swing gates:
undergound operators

The underground operator for each gate leaf is contained in a secure steel foundation box concreted into the ground at the base of each pillar. The system is unobtrusive and visually very neat - all that shows is the steel lid.

Normally these operators will open the gates up to 110 degrees, but we can supply special versions that will open up to 180 degrees.

swing gates:
ram operators

Ram operators are sleek, modern and fit neatly on to the rear face of the gates at about waist height. These operators are easier to fit and are lower cost than the underground systems, but are slightly more obtrusive. Hydraulic ram operators are generally fitted in higher duty situations such as busier multi-user entrances.

sliding gates:

Sliding gates are very useful where the drive rises up towards the house preventing swing gates from opening, or where a swing gate would reduce any potential parking space.

Wheels are built into the bottom rail of the gate and run along a track concreted into the driveway opening. The operator is fixed near a pillar and moves the gate via a toothed rack attached to the gate. Any of our gate designs can be configured as automated sliding gates.

Find out how much it would cost to have automation fitted to your gate.
