Compare gate options
Match the gate type to the site conditions
The best automatic gate depends on how much space is available, how vehicles move through the entry, and what level of security or visual finish the property needs.
Swing gates
Best for: Homes, premium driveways, and entries where the gate can open inward or outward.
- Strong street appeal for residential and prestige properties
- Single, double, and bi-fold options available
- Best suited to flatter driveways with enough opening space
Telescopic gates
Best for: Wide openings where standard sliding gate run-back space is limited.
- Multiple panels slide together to save space
- Useful for tight boundaries and wide driveways
- Can be custom manufactured to suit the opening
Cantilever gates
Best for: Uneven ground, high-use commercial entries, and sites where a ground track is unsuitable.
- No ground track across the driveway
- Reliable option for uneven or heavy-vehicle access
- Often used for industrial, school, and secure site entries
How Rapid recommends a gate
A better recommendation starts with the entry
Gate style is only one part of the decision. We look at the driveway, expected use, access controls, safety requirements, and long-term service needs before specifying the system.
Opening space
We assess the driveway width, side room, slope, and swing clearance before recommending a gate type.
Traffic volume
Homes, strata sites, warehouses, and schools place very different demands on motors, controls, and safety devices.
Security controls
Your gate can integrate with intercoms, remotes, keypads, card access, RFID, and licence plate recognition.
Design and finish
Custom gate styles, powdercoat colours, and privacy levels can be matched to the property and use case.
