What Sets Them Apart
Engineered for the Long Haul
The same beautiful designs as our standard driveway range — built stronger, smarter, and ready for automation.
Chunkier Framework
Heavier duty stiles and rails provide the structural rigidity needed to handle repeated mechanical movement without distortion or wear over time.
Reinforced Bottom Rail
A substantially deeper bottom rail absorbs the mechanical stress of automation drive arms and underground ram systems, protecting the gate structure.
Bespoke Hinge System
Custom top and bottom hinges designed to align precisely with automation control boxes, ensuring perfect calibration and reducing motor strain.
Matching Design Range
Available in every style from our standard driveway collection. The automation-ready upgrade is structurally enhanced for repeated automation use.
Made to Measure
Every gate is manufactured to your exact opening width, height and post spacing — accounting for gate weight, swing arc and automation box position.
All Brands Compatible
Designed to work with Came, BFT, Nice, Faac, and all major gate automation brands — swing arm, underground ram or sliding rack.
