Cantilever and Tracked Sliding Security Gates for Industrial Premises
Nationwide Facilities Management supplies and installs two principal types of sliding security gate for commercial and industrial sites across Thornton in Merseyside: cantilever sliding gates and tracked sliding gates, each suited to different site conditions and usage requirements. Cantilever gates do not require a track to run on, as they are counterbalanced and feature two sets of rollers connected to the bottom of the gate between two vertical steel posts. This makes cantilever sliding gates suitable for high-frequency use and they are often the preferred choice across many commercial and industrial premises, particularly where ground conditions make track installation impractical. Tracked sliding gates, by contrast, require a track across the gate opening for the gate to run on, with wheels installed at the bottom of the gate to allow smooth, consistent movement back and forth along the track. It is essential that the track is kept well lubricated and free from debris at all times in order to operate correctly and maintain gate longevity.


Automatic Electric Gates for Commercial and Industrial Security
The commercial automatic gates supplied and installed by Nationwide Specialist Services 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 Thornton in Merseyside, 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.
