Automated Access
Hands-free driveway access on Buckhurst Hill woodland edges — smooth, debris-free sliding without track clearing or derailments.
What We Do
Covering cantilever rollers, counterbalance design, guide wheels, automation drives, and foundation preparation.
Cantilever Gate Installation
Trackless rollers, counterbalance, automation drive and foundation preparation for gravel or uneven sites.
Heavy-Duty Cantilever Systems
Industrial rollers, guide wheels and counterweight design for wide openings and high-duty operation.
Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Tracked gates clog and derail on wooded, uneven sites; the right counterweight and foundation prevents recurrent failures and maintenance.
Leaf fall on forest-fringe driveways fills tracks and causes frequent jams, requiring daily clearing in autumn.
Sandy clay and sloping ground shift supports and bind rollers, leading to misalignment and motor strain.
Long openings demand correctly sized counterweights and robust rollers; poor balance causes premature wear and failures.
Cantilever rollers and guide wheels remove the need for ground track, preventing leaf and gravel blockage in autumn.
Trackless design eliminates routine track clearing; sealed rollers and guide wheels lower service frequency and costs.
