Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Most sliding gate failures start with the wrong foundation or track system. Sandy clay and leaf fall demand deeper posts and trackless rollers to prevent sticking and frost heave.
Epping Forest borders mean constant leaf debris blocks ground tracks, causing gates to jam mid-cycle.
Shallow foundations on wooded slopes let frost heave move gate posts, throwing alignment off.
Wide gates weighing 400 kg or more require two people to open manually in forest damp conditions.
Heavy-duty rack-and-pinion drives handle wide spans up to 6 metres without strain or slowdown.
Suspended rollers eliminate ground tracks, so leaf fall and gravel never block gate movement.
Who We Help
Serving large detached and woodland homes along Epping Forest borders and Roding Valley properties.
Owners of properties on Palmerston Road needing smooth access for multiple vehicles without swing gate clearance.
Homes on forest fringe with sloped driveways requiring cantilever systems for leaf fall and uneven ground.
