Cantilever and Tracked Sliding Security Gates for Industrial Premises
At Nationwide Facilities Management, our sliding security gate range gives property managers in Shap in Cumbria the flexibility to choose the most appropriate automated gate solution for their specific site conditions and security requirements. Cantilever sliding gates require no ground track to run on. They are counterbalanced and feature two sets of rollers connected to the bottom of the gate between two vertical steel posts, allowing the gate to slide smoothly without touching the ground. This design makes cantilever gates particularly suitable for high-frequency use and they are widely considered the preferred choice across many commercial and industrial premises where reliability, clean aesthetics and minimal maintenance are important factors. Where site conditions allow for track installation, tracked sliding gates remain a proven and practical solution. Wheels at the base of the gate allow it to run back and forth along the track, though it is essential that the track is kept well oiled and free from debris to ensure smooth, trouble-free operation at all times.


Automatic Electric Gates for Commercial and Industrial Security
The commercial automatic gates supplied and installed by Nationwide FM are built to the highest possible specification, using premium steel rectangular hollow sections and industrial bearing hinges to create gate systems that are 100% duty rated and fully compliant with BS EN 12453 and the latest industry standards. Electric security gates are one of the most effective investments a business can make, significantly enhancing the security of your premises by restricting access to authorised personnel and vehicles only. Whether you need to protect a car park, a warehouse entrance or an enclosed business facility in Shap in Cumbria, automated gates create a robust physical barrier that deters intruders and prevents unauthorised access. Beyond security, automatic gates deliver real operational benefits: they reduce the reliance on manned security by integrating with RFID access panels, ANPR systems and intercoms, and they provide staff, management and property managers with the reassurance that their site, vehicles and belongings are protected at all times, contributing to a more productive and positive working environment.
