Are your electric gates suitable for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes — our automatic gates are designed for homes, businesses, and industrial sites. Whether you need a sleek residential driveway gate or a heavy-duty commercial gate system, we can supply and install a solution that combines strength, security, and style.

What are the benefits of installing an automatic or electric gate?

Automatic gates improve security, add convenience, and increase property value. They allow you to control access at the push of a button, keep your premises safer, and enhance the overall appearance of your property.

Do you provide gate opener motors and accessories?

Yes — we supply and install high-quality gate openers, motors, remote controls, and safety accessories. Our team will recommend the right motor based on your gate’s size, weight, and frequency of use.

Automatic Gates Designed Around Your Property

An automatic gate is not a one-size-fits-all product. The right system depends on the dimensions of the entrance, available operating space, gate weight, frequency of use and level of access control required.

Our team can discuss your property and recommend an electric gate system suited to its layout and intended use. Automatic gate solutions may include:

Sliding or swing gate configurations
Aluminium slat, picket and privacy designs
Single or double swing gates
Remote-controlled access
Keypad, intercom or smartphone access options
Safety sensors and access-control accessories
Custom sizing, colours and finishes
Residential and commercial gate motors
Supply-only or supply-and-installation options

What Is the Difference Between Electric and Automatic Gates?

The terms “electric gates” and “automatic gates” are commonly used to describe the same general type of system.

An electric motor provides the power required to move the gate, while the automatic control system allows it to open and close through a remote, keypad, intercom, sensor or another access device.

A complete automatic gate system generally consists of:

The gate
A suitably rated motor
Tracks, hinges or operating arms
A control board
Remote controls or access devices
Safety equipment
Electrical connections
Installation and system setup

The components required will vary depending on whether the gate slides, swings or forms part of a more complex commercial access system.

Automatic Sliding Gates

Automatic sliding gates move sideways along the property boundary rather than opening into or out of the driveway. They can be a practical option where:

Driveway depth is limited
The entrance is positioned on a slope
Vehicles park close to the gate
A wider opening needs to be controlled
Swinging panels would obstruct the driveway
A streamlined front entrance is preferred

The property must have sufficient space beside the opening for the gate to slide. The gate weight, track conditions and expected frequency of use will also affect the motor and hardware required.

Automatic Swing Gates

Swing gates open inward or outward using motorised arms attached to the gate panels.

Depending on the entrance, they may be configured as:

A single swing gate
Double swing gates
Matching vehicle and pedestrian gates
Aluminium slat or picket gates
Custom decorative gates

Swing gates can create an attractive and traditional entrance, but they require sufficient clear space to complete their opening movement. The direction of the slope, driveway depth, wind exposure and position of nearby vehicles must be considered before installation.

Custom Electric Driveway Gates

Your driveway gate is one of the first features people notice when approaching your property. A custom design can provide controlled access while complementing the surrounding fence, home or commercial building.

Bens Wholesale can help coordinate an electric driveway gate with your preferred fencing style. Available options may include:

Horizontal aluminium slats
Vertical aluminium slats
Aluminium picket designs
Privacy gate designs
Open-style gates
Single or double gates
Sliding configurations
Custom widths and heights
Powder-coated finishes

Benefits of Installing an Automatic Gate

Convenient Vehicle Access

An automatic gate allows you to enter or leave the property without manually opening and closing the gate each time. This can be particularly useful during poor weather, at night or where a gate is opened frequently throughout the day.

Better Control Over Entry

Electric gates help property owners control who can enter through a driveway or vehicle entrance. Depending on the selected system, access may be managed using remotes, keypads, intercoms, cards or other compatible controls.

Improved Property Security

A closed automatic gate creates a defined access point and can discourage unauthorised vehicles or visitors from entering the property. It should be used as one part of a broader property-security plan rather than as a replacement for appropriate locks, lighting, cameras or alarm systems.

A Coordinated Entrance

Automatic gates are available in styles that can complement front fencing, pool fencing, pedestrian gates and architectural features.

Options for Different Properties

Gate automation can be designed for homes, apartment developments, warehouses, commercial premises and other properties that require controlled vehicle access.

Automatic Gates for Homes

Residential electric gates can provide convenient everyday access while improving the appearance and definition of a front boundary. We can assist with automatic gates for:

New homes
Existing driveways
Renovated front entrances
Side access points
Shared driveways
Large residential properties
New fencing projects

Your gate can be selected to match or complement aluminium slat fencing, picket fencing, privacy screens and other boundary styles.

Commercial Automatic Gates

Commercial properties may require a gate system capable of handling larger openings, heavier gates or more frequent operation. Applications may include:

Warehouses
Factories
Storage facilities
Commercial car parks
Workshops
Managed properties
Building developments
Restricted vehicle entrances

Commercial gate selection should consider the number of daily operating cycles, opening speed, gate weight, access-control requirements and the availability of maintenance support.

Can an Existing Gate Be Automated?

Some existing gates can be converted from manual operation to an electric system, but the gate must first be assessed for suitability. Before recommending automation, factors to examine include:

Gate condition and structural strength
Alignment and ease of movement
Gate dimensions and weight
Existing tracks, wheels or hinges
Available power supply
Space for the motor or operating arms
Ground levels and driveway slope
Required safety equipment

Installing a powerful motor will not correct a gate that is poorly aligned, damaged or difficult to move manually. Repairs or hardware upgrades may be required before the automation system is installed.

Choosing the Right Gate Motor

The motor must be matched to the gate rather than selected on price alone. Important considerations include:

Gate weight
Gate length
Sliding or swing operation
Residential or commercial use
Number of daily opening cycles
Wind exposure
Opening speed
Power availability
Backup access requirements
Compatible safety and access controls

Our Automatic Gate Installation Process

1. Discuss Your Requirements

Tell us about the property, entrance dimensions, gate style and access features you require. Photographs and approximate measurements can help us understand the project before a site assessment or detailed quotation.

2. Select the Gate Style

Choose a sliding or swing configuration and a design that complements the property. We can discuss standard products and custom gate options depending on your measurements and requirements.

3. Match the Automation System

A suitable motor and operating system will be selected based on the gate’s size, weight and expected level of use.

4. Confirm Access and Safety Features

Remote controls, keypads, intercoms, sensors and other compatible features can be considered as part of the system.

5. Arrange Supply and Installation

Depending on the project, we can supply the required products or coordinate a complete installation.

6. Test the Completed System

The gate should be tested for smooth movement, correct access operation and the functionality of the installed safety features.
