At Procter ([ Ссылка ]) we offer a full range of high quality automatic sliding gates. (Note: All sliding gates ae available for manual operation as well, subject to size and weight being acceptable.) So for us it is simply a question of which style is most appropriate for any individual project or site.
Sliding Gates are space efficient and can cover large openings up to 15m each and for even larger entrances a pair of gates can be used to cover an opening of double the size.
Sliding Gates are generally more secure than swing gates as they are retained within a rigid structure and are retained at the closed end making them much more difficult to force open and in particular less likely to be breached by vehicle impact. In addition, the more vulnerable points of a sliding gate are less accessible compared to a hinged gate. As well as being more secure, sliding gates, arguably, look more secure - so there is an element of deterrent here too.
