Frequently Asked Questions

1. Robust Construction
The construction of a swing gate is only limited by the strength of the opening system. Hydraulic systems mean that the gate can be of almost any size and weight. High-security gates can be constructed from heavy duty steel and present no problem. At the same time, where the gate is intended simply as an entry barrier, lighter alloys would be perfectly acceptable.
2. Low Maintenance
Swing gates are typically robustly constructed and therefore require little in the way of maintenance outside of the mandatory servicing requirements. In damp, cold or even extremely hot climates this means that much of the initial outlay can be recouped by a reduction in ongoing maintenance costs.
3. Efficiency
In areas of high traffic or footfall the automated characteristics of a swing gate mean that entry and exit can be controlled with maximum efficiency. Particularly relevant in places like airports and subway stations where the gate may be required to open and close hundreds or perhaps even thousands of times in a single day.

1. Car Parking Facilities
Car parking facilities that are open to authorised or paying users only, often use swing gates with some type of swing gate operator to grant access.
2. Industry and Commerce
Industrial and commercial settings like factories, warehouses and distribution centres are principal markets for swing gates. Controlling and authorising access is a key factor in maintaining security. Easy access for staff and delivery drivers is desirable whilst unauthorised access is not.
3. Secure Environments
Military facilities, sensitive sites, prison facilities and even some hospitals need to maintain a highly secure environment. Smart swing gates can provide both the security and the level of automation that saves time and as a result, reduce overheads.
4. Private Homes
Larger privates homes and big estates with secure perimeters can benefit from the automation and additional security and convenience that a swing gate provides.

A swing-style gate is most secure when equipped with a pad mount operator. A pad mount operator’s steel arms make it very difficult for intruders to force the gate open.

A swing gate, swings in either direction or closes when released.

Sliding gates slide in and out whilst swinging gates swing open and closed in a wide half-circle.

Yes, electric gates can be forced. Specifically, they can be opened if enough force is applied to the edges furthest from the hinge, i.e., generally at the point where the gate starts to open.

It did not go unnoticed that you were put in a very difficult predicament by the failings of our ground works contractor but despite this, you and your team stuck at it working late nights and weekends to help us achieve the completion date. It’s very rare to see a Managing Director rolling his sleeves up to help his team out but you did this on numerous occasions in atrocious weather conditions and on weekends and for this we cannot thank you enough.

This leads me on to your site team who worked extremely close with our site team for the duration of the project and despite the extreme weather and ground conditions they simply got on with it. They’re attitude and willingness to complete the job in hand is fantastic, this together with the standard of work produced all makes for a winning team.

I have worked with numerous quality men over the last 30 years, and this has to be up there as one of the best. Please pass on our thanks to your team. Thanks again for your efforts on the project and we wish you every success in the future and hope your business grows. It has been a pleasure working with you on YGGT and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in the near future.
