Automated cantilever sliding gate installation

Gates and access control for self storage

Reliable entrance gates, keypad access and perimeter fencing for self storage sites, installed and maintained by our own team.

A self storage entrance opens many times a day, often early in the morning and late in the evening, and customers notice the moment it stops working. We supply, install and maintain trackless cantilever gates, keypad access and mesh fencing built for that kind of use, with maintenance contracts to keep the entrance running.

  • Built for constant use

    Trackless cantilever gates with heavy-duty 230V motors rated for frequent use, and no ground track to fill with grit, leaves or ice.

  • Simple Customer Access

    Customers enter with their own PIN at a keypad by the gate. Staff and contractors can open it by phone or app.

  • Installed & Maintained

    Maintenance contracts with planned servicing and call-out cover, from the team that installed the gate.

What we supply

Everything for a secure, easy-to-use self storage entrance, from the gate to the fence line.

Frequently asked questions

Which gate suits a self storage entrance?

Usually a cantilever sliding gate. There's no track to clog or be damaged by vans and trailers, and it copes with frequent use. WSP 95 covers 4 to 6 m openings, WSP 130 is the heavy-duty choice for 6 to 9 m, and WSP 200 covers 8 to 12 m.

Can customers use their own PIN?

Yes. A keypad at the gate lets each customer enter with a PIN. Staff, contractors and deliveries can also open the gate by phone or app.

Can access be limited to opening hours?

Yes. Users on the GSM controller can be restricted to set days and times.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We offer planned servicing and call-out cover to keep your entrance safe and working.

Can you replace an old tracked or swing gate?

Yes. We survey the entrance, check the run-back space and power, and recommend whether it needs a new gate, new automation or an access control upgrade.

Do you work across the UK?

Yes. We're based in Essex with a sales office in the Cotswolds, install across the UK, and supply trade installers nationwide.
