Automatic Sliding & Telescopic Gates
 
Automatic Gates operate on an electric motor, with the opening options of remote control or full sensor. The advantages of Automatic Sliding Gates include saving space upon opening (with swinging being the alternative), and the electric motors simpler and more cost-effective. Their long-term reliability is exceptional, with a lower cost of servicing.
Telescopic Gates are a great alternative to sliding gates when space is limited, as they run in parallel back to the recess.
In many instances swinging is the only option. Gates can be swung both inwards and outwards. Swinging gates have the advantage of speed when operating.

Telescopic Gates
These are automatic sliding gates that move in parallel and concertina in the closed position at one side. You only need a bit more than half of your driveway distance as a recess to install them. SAS Autogate, an Australian innovation, have invented Telemech (as seen on ?The New Inventors?), which is the mechanism that enable this system to not only function well, but also be aesthetically pleasing.
