Electric Drive Gates

Electric Drive Gates or Swing Gates are a stylish and secure solution for residential and commercial properties. These gates operate on a hinge mechanism, swinging open and closed like a traditional door. Powered by an electric motor, they can be controlled via remote, keypad, smartphone, or automated sensors for seamless access.

Why Choose Our Electric Swing Gates?
​

✅ Effortless Operation – Say goodbye to manually opening and closing your gates. Our electric swing gates operate seamlessly with the push of a button, whether through a remote control, keypad, or smartphone app. This ensures you can enter and exit your property without hassle, providing both comfort and efficiency.

​

✅ Enhanced Security – Security is a top priority, and our gates are designed with advanced locking systems and sturdy materials to keep your property safe. Integrated safety sensors prevent unauthorized access and ensure the gate only operates when needed. With additional security features like automatic locking mechanisms and access control systems, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your home or business is well-protected.

​

✅ Durable & Weather-Resistant – Built from premium materials such as steel, aluminum, or composite, our electric swing gates are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. The high-quality finishes provide resistance against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance.

​

✅ Customizable Designs – Your gate should reflect the style of your property. That’s why we offer a wide range of customizable designs, from sleek and modern to classic and ornate.

Electric Drive Gate / Swing Gate Types

Electric swing gates come in various designs and motorized systems to suit different property layouts, space availability, and security needs. Below is a detailed description of the most common types of electric swing gates and their operating mechanisms.

Underground Motor Units

✅ Discreet & Aesthetic – The motor is hidden underground, preserving the gate's clean design.
✅ Smooth & Quiet Operation – Offers silent, seamless movement with no visible mechanical parts.
✅ Weather-Resistant & Durable – Encased in a waterproof housing to withstand harsh weather conditions.
✅ Ideal For: Homeowners seeking a sophisticated look with no visible automation components.


Underground motor units are one of the most aesthetically pleasing solutions for electric swing gates. The motors are installed beneath the driveway, with only the gate arms visible, making them an excellent choice for those who want a seamless and unobtrusive automation system. These motors provide smooth and quiet operation, making them ideal for residential properties or locations where noise reduction is a priority. Additionally, they are built with durable, weather-resistant materials to ensure longevity.

Aboveground Swing Gate Motors

✅ Cost-Effective & Easy to Install – A practical solution without the need for extensive groundwork.
✅ High Performance & Reliability – Offers strong, efficient motor power suitable for heavy gates.
✅ Wide Range of Options – Available in hydraulic or electromechanical variants for different gate sizes.
✅ Ideal For: Residential driveways and commercial properties looking for an affordable yet powerful automation solution.


Aboveground motors are mounted on gate posts or arms, making them highly accessible for installation and maintenance. These motors are typically divided into hydraulic and electromechanical options:

  • Hydraulic motors provide powerful performance, ideal for heavy-duty gates in commercial or high-security settings.

  • Electromechanical motors are more common for residential use, offering smooth and energy-efficient operation.

Aboveground motor units are an excellent choice for those who prioritize reliability and ease of maintenance while keeping installation costs lower than underground systems.

​

​

Articulated Arm Swing Gate Motors

✅ Perfect for Wide or Thick Gate Posts – Works well with large, decorative, or brick pillars.
✅ Flexible & Versatile Design – Can operate on uneven surfaces and irregular driveway layouts.
✅ Strong & Durable – Ideal for both residential and light commercial applications.
✅ Ideal For: Properties with large gate posts or where a traditional straight-arm motor won’t fit.


Articulated arm motors are designed to accommodate gates with thick posts or those installed on uneven ground. Instead of a straight motor arm, they use a hinged, jointed arm that allows more flexibility when opening and closing. This type of motor is often used when conventional automation systems are not feasible due to space constraints. It’s a highly durable solution that offers a smooth and controlled motion, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications.

​

​

Auto Bi-Folding Swing Gates

✅ Space-Saving Solution – Ideal for properties with limited driveway space.
✅ Fast Opening & Closing – Operates quicker than standard swing gates for improved convenience.
✅ Secure & Sturdy Design – Fitted with advanced safety sensors to prevent collisions.
✅ Ideal For: Homes or businesses with short driveways or where fast access is needed.


Auto bi-folding swing gates consist of two sections that fold in the middle as they open, allowing them to operate in tight spaces. This makes them a perfect option for properties with short driveways where a full-length swinging motion is impractical. These gates open and close faster than traditional swing gates, making them suitable for high-traffic areas or locations requiring quick security access. Safety sensors are integrated to prevent accidents, ensuring smooth and controlled movement.

​

​

Choosing the Right Electric Gate System

The best electric swing gate system depends on factors such as available space, gate size, security needs, and aesthetic preferences. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

  • For a seamless, hidden design → Underground Motor Units

  • For affordability & easy installation → Aboveground Swing Gate Motors

  • For large posts & tricky layouts → Articulated Arm Motors

  • For limited space & awkward layouts → Auto Bi-Folding Gates
