Site Review
Rawson Automation reviews the entrance layout, gate movement, power, controls and safety requirements before recommending a practical specification.
Built Around The Site
Rawson Automation designs, manufactures and installs sliding electric gates across Yorkshire. Sliding gates are often used where a swing gate is not practical, where entrances are wide, or where vehicle access needs to be controlled securely.
Controls
Entry can be managed with the right mix of intercoms, keypads, fobs, GSM access, readers, CCTV links or smart controls for the people using the entrance.
Local Support
The team works from Cleckheaton, so Yorkshire projects can be handled with nearby survey, installation and aftercare support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do electric gates cost?
Electric gate cost depends on the gate size, material, groundworks, power supply, automation hardware, access control and safety equipment. Rawson Automation provides site-specific quotes after reviewing the entrance and security requirements.
Do electric gates need planning permission?
Many domestic electric gates do not need planning permission, but exceptions can apply for listed properties, conservation areas, highway-facing entrances and gates above certain heights. Rawson Automation can advise during survey.
Are electric gates safe?
Electric gates must be designed, installed and maintained with suitable safety devices such as photocells, safety edges, force limitation and emergency release. Professional installation and routine maintenance are essential.
Can electric gates connect to CCTV or access control?
Yes. Electric gates can integrate with intercoms, keypads, fobs, GSM systems, CCTV and wider access control depending on the site requirements. Rawson Automation works alongside Rawson Security for connected security systems.
