Industrial Gates
Industrial gates, cantilever sliding gates and bi-fold speed gates for schools, warehouses, industrial sites and commercial premises across Bolton, Wigan, Manchester and Lancashire.
Industrial gates provide secure, controlled access to commercial premises, warehouses, logistics facilities, schools, manufacturing sites and industrial estates.
Designed to manage vehicle access whilst protecting people, property and assets, industrial gate systems form an important part of a modern perimeter security strategy.
Based in Bolton, i Security supplies, installs, repairs and maintains industrial gates throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the wider North West.
Whether you’re securing a warehouse, transport yard, school, food production facility or commercial site, our team can help identify the most appropriate gate automation solution.
Industrial gates provide a higher level of security than barriers whilst still allowing controlled access for authorised vehicles.
They are particularly suited to locations where perimeter security, unauthorised vehicle access and pedestrian control are important considerations.
We supply and install a range of industrial gate systems suitable for different site layouts and operational requirements.
Cantilever sliding gates are one of the most popular industrial gate solutions. Because the gate is supported above ground level, no track is required across the roadway.
This makes them particularly suitable for uneven ground, locations exposed to dirt and debris, and sites requiring reliable long-term operation.
Cantilever gates are commonly used within industrial estates, logistics facilities, warehouses, schools and commercial premises where security and dependability are key priorities.
Bi-folding speed gates provide rapid opening speeds and are ideal for sites where vehicle throughput is important.
They are commonly installed at logistics facilities, schools, manufacturing sites and commercial premises where quick access is required whilst maintaining perimeter security.
Industrial gates can be integrated with a variety of access control technologies to suit the operational requirements of the site.
Our team can advise on the most appropriate access control method based on traffic flow, security requirements and operational objectives.
Safety is a critical consideration for all powered gate systems.
i Security undertakes site-specific risk assessments and installs safety systems designed to reduce the risks associated with automated gate operation.
Our automated gate systems are designed, installed and commissioned in accordance with the applicable requirements of BS EN 12453 and current gate safety guidance.
Standard safety features commonly include:
Powered gates are safety-critical machines that require ongoing inspection and testing to help ensure safe operation.
Force limitation testing measures the forces generated by a moving gate and helps verify that the gate continues to operate within its intended safety parameters.
Testing forms an important part of gate safety management and may be undertaken during commissioning, maintenance visits, upgrades or safety assessments.
Force limitation testing should always be considered alongside risk assessments, safety device testing and regular maintenance rather than as a standalone measure.
Where practical, our industrial gates are supplied fully assembled, allowing installation and commissioning to be completed efficiently whilst minimising disruption to site operations.
This approach reduces installation time and helps ensure systems are installed consistently and commissioned correctly.
Industrial gates are powered machines that require regular maintenance to ensure continued safe operation.
Any commercial premises operating an automatic gate should typically have the system serviced every six months.
Regular servicing helps identify mechanical wear, safety device faults, force limitation issues and component deterioration before they result in a breakdown or unsafe condition.
Regular maintenance provides a proactive approach to gate ownership.
By identifying worn components and emerging faults before failure occurs, maintenance can reduce downtime, improve reliability and help avoid costly repairs or unexpected replacement costs.
Based in Bolton, i Security supplies, installs and maintains industrial gate systems throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the wider North West.
We regularly support schools, logistics operators, manufacturing companies, warehouses and commercial property owners seeking secure and reliable vehicle access control systems.
Since 2011, i Security has delivered gate automation, access control and perimeter security projects throughout Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Our experience across schools, industrial facilities, commercial premises and public buildings allows us to recommend practical gate solutions tailored to each site’s operational requirements.
Whether you require a new industrial gate, a maintenance contract, force limitation testing or an emergency repair, our team can help.
Our industrial gate projects include: • Schools • Food Manufacturing Facilities • Distribution Centres • Farms • Transport Yards
Cantilever sliding gates are often preferred where maximum security and reliability are required, whilst bi-fold speed gates are popular where rapid vehicle access is important.
Yes. Many industrial gates can be integrated with ANPR Number Plate Recognition systems to automate vehicle access for authorised users.
Commercial automatic gates should typically be serviced every six months to help ensure safe operation, reliable performance and ongoing functionality of safety systems.
Automatic gates are powered machines operating around vehicles, pedestrians and staff. Regular maintenance helps ensure safety devices, drive systems and control equipment continue to function correctly whilst reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
Force limitation testing measures the operational forces generated by a powered gate and helps verify that force settings and safety systems continue to function correctly.
A maintenance visit typically includes inspection of gate structures, motors, drive systems, safety photocells, safety edges, access control equipment, force settings and general operation.
Any faults, wear or safety concerns identified during the visit are documented and discussed with the customer.
Yes. In many cases we can repair, maintain and service industrial gates originally installed by other providers.
Yes. Industrial gate systems are widely used within schools and academies to control vehicle access, improve safeguarding and protect staff parking, service roads and secure areas.
If you’re planning a new industrial gate installation, require six-monthly servicing or need an urgent repair, our team would be pleased to help.
