Protect your premises, improve traffic flow, and ensure authorised access with durable, high‑performance automated gate systems manufactured right here in Christchurch, New Zealand. Built using premium materials and engineered for long‑term reliability, our gates integrate seamlessly into commercial and industrial environments that demand uncompromising security.
Our systems deliver the ideal balance of speed, safety, and site‑specific customisation. Whether you need a high‑speed access solution, a large sliding gate, or a specialised rodent‑resistant system, we design every gate to suit your layout, traffic volumes, and access control requirements.
Our Automated Gate Systems Range
Cantilever gates provide a smooth, trackless sliding solution that stays clear of debris, offering reliable, low‑maintenance security for commercial and industrial sites.
Bullet Gate™
Engineered for sites that require quick vehicle throughput and minimal ground obstruction. These rapid gates operate at speeds of 1.2m/s and slide freely above the ground, making them ideal for locations where debris, uneven terrain, or heavy traffic would hinder track performance.
Best for: High‑traffic secure entry points such as ports, logistics hubs, and distribution centres.
Darte Gate™
A durable, reliable option that offers smooth operation without ground tracks. These gates balance speeds of 800mm/s, safety, and performance, providing a cost‑effective solution for busy commercial sites without requiring high‑speed operation.
Best for: Commercial sites, warehousing environments, and mixed‑use industrial yards.
Commercial Sliding Gates
Traditional ground‑track gates built for robustness, consistency, and long‑term performance. Available in multiple construction styles (pipe, mesh, vertical bar, rodent‑resistant options), they provide strong perimeter security and predictable operation.
Best for: Business parks, carparks, government facilities, distribution centres, and sites prioritising robust security with proven tracked hardware; choose rodent‑resistant when pest exclusion is critical.
Specialised Gates
Specialised pest‑proof gate systems engineered to block rodents and other vertebrate pests from entering protected areas.
Best for: Waste‑management sites, food‑processing facilities, agricultural and storage facilities, bio‑security zones, wildlife protection areas, pest‑sensitive commercial sites, and any location where preventing rodent and animal ingress is crucial for operational safety and compliance.
Automated Barrier Arms
Automated vehicle‑control barriers designed for secure, consistent, and efficient access management. Built with durable steel construction and aluminium boom arms, they provide a strong physical and visual barrier to prevent unauthorised entry and support smooth traffic flow in busy environments.
Best for: Carparks, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, logistics hubs, controlled‑entry sites, and locations needing efficient traffic regulation.
