Sliding Gates Melbourne
The most common choice in entry gates is a single, sliding gate utilising a ground track.
Strong, simple and long lasting, sliding gates are what we install the most. Sliding gates are available in both single sliding and dual sliding and can have overhead tracks or slide on wheels.
Whether your gate is 2 metres wide or 20 metres wide we manufacture in one piece, powder coat using Dulux coatings and for those gates over 4m, crane into place ensuring complete structural integrity at all stages.

Security Made Easy With a Commercial Sliding Gate
Operating a commercial property comes with responsibilities, and protecting your assets, staff and reputation is the most vital of them all. Keeping your premises secure is essential and one of the best ways to do so without compromising convenience is with a professionally designed security gate, by a local fencing company in Melbourne.
At H&B Fencing + Gates we customise, supply and install high-quality commercial sliding gates built for the industrial, retail and corporate environments of Australia. Whether you own a warehouse in the suburbs or a commercial complex near the port, we’ll design a gate system that delivers durability, safety and seamless operation.
Why Choose a Commercial Sliding Gate?
Sliding gates for commercial properties are ideal when space is limited or traffic flow is constant. Unlike swing gates, which require a large clearance area, sliding gates move horizontally along a track. This makes them the perfect option for:
- Warehouses and factories
- Storage facilities
- Car parks
- Distribution centres
- Construction sites
- Commercial office complexes
They provide strong perimeter protection while allowing smooth vehicle access for staff, deliveries and authorised visitors, particularly when paired with perimeter fencing such as a chain link fencing.
Safety and Compliance Matter
Premises and equipment should be safe and properly maintained, and automated gates are no exception. A gate that has been installed incorrectly or neglected can present serious hazards. That’s why at H&B Fencing + Gates we design our commercial track sliding gate systems to include safety features such as:
- Photoelectric safety beams
- Emergency stop functions
- Obstruction detection systems
- Secure tracking and anti-derailment components
Tailored Solutions for Your Business
Understanding that no two sites are the same is essential in providing the right gate for your property. That’s why our team conducts a thorough site assessment to identify your needs and potential challenges. Uneven surfaces may require a cantilever sliding gate, while a heavy-duty tracked system may be more suitable for large industrial openings, futher secured with durable tubular steel fencing Melbourne businesses trust.
We customise every installation to suit your site and operational requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a tracked sliding gate and a cantilever sliding gate?
A tracked sliding gate runs along a ground rail anchored into a concrete footing. It is cost-effective and ideal for level, paved driveways. A cantilever sliding gate suspends over the opening without touching the ground, supported by a rear counterweight assembly. Cantilever gates are ideal for sloped terrain, uneven gravel sites, or high-vehicle areas where dirt or debris could block a ground track.
What happens to the automatic sliding gate during a power outage?
All our commercial automatic sliding gates come equipped with a manual key-release mechanism, allowing you to easily unlock the motor gear and operate the gate manually. We also offer battery backup options and solar options for low-traffic sites without mains power.
What safety features are included?
Safety is paramount for commercial machinery. Our sliding gate installations can include photo-electric (PE) safety beams, sensitive contact edges, which automatically stop and reverse movement if an obstacle is met, warning flashing lights, dual end-stops, and motor force limiters to prevent crushing or trapping incidents.
Can existing manual sliding gates be retrofitted with automatic motors?
In most cases, yes. Provided your current gate is structurally sound, level, and slides smoothly by hand, we can install high-torque automation equipment, tracks, and safety sensors to convert your manual setup into a full automatic system.
What access control options can be integrated with commercial sliding gates?
We tailor access systems to your facility’s security needs. Options include wireless remote keyfobs, digital keypads, swipe card/RFID readers, video/audio intercoms, loop detectors for automatic vehicle exit, and GSM smartphone activation.
Are H&B sliding gates manufactured in Australia?
Yes. All our sliding gate frames and panels are manufactured locally in our Dandenong South facility using heavy-duty, Australian-made steel. This ensures built-in durability designed specifically to withstand harsh Melbourne weather and constant commercial traffic.
