Aluminium Sliding Gates

Space-saving tracked and cantilevered sliding gates built for tight driveways and high-cycle automated entry.

Aluminium Sliding Gates fabricated by AB Welding
Workshop Engineering

Built For Australian Conditions

Where driveway parking space is tight or ground slopes prevent swing leaves, a sliding gate clears zero internal yard depth. We build full-welded tracked and cantilever aluminium sliding gates matched to heavy-duty Italian 24V motors, recessed steel V-tracks, and soft-start/soft-stop safety sensors.

Sealed Roller Carriages

Twin precision-machined nylon/steel guide rollers keep tracking quiet and rattle-free.

Nylon-Core Gear Rack

Steel-reinforced nylon rack teeth cut motor noise significantly compared to bare steel rack.

Solar & Keypad Ready

Pre-wired for solar trickle panels, GSM smartphone gate openers, and auto-exit ground loops.

Full Architectural Match

Fabricated alongside matching boundary fence infills so gate and fence share identical sightlines.

Technical Questions

Sliding Gates FAQs

How much side clearance does a sliding gate need?
A standard tracked sliding gate requires clear run-back space equal to the driveway opening width plus roughly 500mm for the tail counter-section.
What happens during a power outage?
All our automated gates include a keyed manual release clutch, and we offer 24V battery backup packs so the gate keeps working during blackouts.
