Swing Gates

An extensive range of ornate entrance gates with complementary railings are produced for residential, commercial and public buildings in traditional or modern themes.

Gates are made from hollow square steel section or in solid square section with hot forged or cast iron decorative elements. Decorative gates use traditonal mortice joints on mid-rails on most designs.

Swing gates are operated by rear mounted hydraulic rams or underground concealed equipment.

Decorative swing gates, with underground automation. Commercial swing gates, rear arm automated.


Swing Gate Automation - Information Budget Sheet

The information below is set out to show example costs for systems. Actual site conditions and specification will decide the final price and all offers are subject to site survey. We fabricate a wide range of suitable gates for all market sectors.

If you have swing gates in good general condition, with solid posts or piers, then we can automate them. If you have no gates, no problem, we have been fabricating a wide range of suitable swing gates for over 12 years.

Beyond new gates, AAC's business is to select the most suitable drive unit for the site and entry and exit methods to suit the use of the site. This may appear straightforward but how do we let in the paperboy, postman, milk, rubbish collection, friends, the gardener... and let them out again? Covering the realities of use is where our surveyor's experience counts. All sites are subtly different because the owners and their requirements are all different.

Below are examples of basic systems - any optional extras may be added, our surveyor or office staff are able to gives prices.
