The HERMEQ Temporary Sliding Gate offers secure, controlled access to temporary fencing perimeters without the limitations of a hinged swing gate. Using a cantilever sliding design, it’s ideal for confined or sloped areas where swing gates are impractical or unsafe.
This manual sliding gate includes a precast concrete and steel base pad for fast deployment and zero ground disruption. Compatible with HERMEQ’s mesh fencing systems, it accepts multiple panel infills including Eclipse-60, Dulok-Lite and Securus-Lite.
Key Features:
- No Swing Radius – Operates laterally for sites with limited clearance or gradient changes.
- Zero Ground Strike – Built-in base pad eliminates the need for excavation or track foundations.
- Secure Operation – Twin-wire profiled mesh and manual control ensures safety and access control.
- Wind Rated – Conforms to BS EN 1991 wind load standards for safe use on open sites.
- Multiple Heights & Widths – Available in varied configurations with galvanised and powder-coated finish options.
HERMEQ sliding gates are ideal for temporary perimeter fencing systems at construction sites, utilities projects, logistics hubs and public events. By using a cantilevered frame, they maintain structural integrity without relying on surface-mounted tracks, making them more versatile in mixed terrain environments.
Each gate is supplied ready for deployment with a prefabricated counterweight pad for stability, reducing install times. Units are highly sustainable — once installed, they can be relocated to new parts of the site or used on future projects.
Customisable in size and colour, these gates complement HERMEQ’s full temporary fencing catalogue, including Mesh Fencing, Tree Protection and Accessories. All variants are fire rated and compliant with key safety standards.
For projects where phased access is required — such as utility upgrades or phased handovers — these sliding gates offer unmatched control and adaptability. Their durability, ease of use, and safety credentials make them a preferred choice for principal contractors and facilities teams alike.

This sliding gate system delivers reliable perimeter access while maintaining a sleek, compact form. It’s commonly deployed on high-traffic construction zones, transport terminals and utility works, where turning clearance is restricted or uneven ground makes swing gates unsafe. Its cantilever design also allows for continuous flow of vehicles or foot traffic without obstructing the passageway.
The zero ground-strike system means it can be deployed quickly and cleanly. There’s no excavation, track laying or post setting involved — the entire system is supported by a steel-reinforced ballast pad. This makes it ideal for sites with underground services or hard surfacing like tarmac or slabs.
Compatible with HERMEQ mesh fencing, the unit can integrate seamlessly into existing site enclosures. Whether for secure access points or controlled deliveries, the gate’s smooth lateral movement and reinforced frame provide both ease of use and high durability.
Installers benefit from a plug-and-play setup that can be relocated as site layouts evolve. The steel structure and mesh infills are hot-dip galvanised for long service life and corrosion resistance. Powder coating is available on request to match site branding or safety colours.
Gates are supplied pre-assembled or flat packed with clear instructions, ideal for contractors operating across multiple projects or sites. The HERMEQ sliding gate is designed and built to exceed temporary access expectations across commercial and infrastructure applications.
Real-World Applications
This sliding gate system is trusted on housebuilding sites, rail schemes, street works and temporary compounds for telecom or power installations. It helps control vehicle access while minimising risks from wind or manual handling. The sliding operation is ergonomic and requires minimal effort to operate, reducing injury potential versus manual swing gates.
Temporary logistics yards and vehicle storage areas also benefit from the gate’s efficiency. Forklift drivers and van fleets can pass through without needing wide arc turning zones. On uneven or gravel ground, the cantilever design offers safe and stable operation with no jamming or drag.
Compliance and Safety
All HERMEQ sliding gates conform to BS EN 1991 wind load requirements and are B1 fire rated. Edge protection and manual locking brackets are available to enhance safety further. Mesh infill panels are anti-climb and profile-matched to popular fencing systems to maintain secure perimeter integrity.
Contractors looking for speed, safety, and flexibility in their access control solutions will find this gate system meets all core site requirements with minimal maintenance demands.
Can the sliding gate be installed without groundworks?
Yes, it includes a precast base pad allowing zero ground strike installation, ideal for sites with no civil works or underground obstructions.
Is this gate compatible with mesh fencing panels?
Yes. The sliding gate works with multiple HERMEQ mesh infills including Eclipse-60, Dulok-Lite and Securus-Lite, ensuring seamless site integration.
What site conditions suit a sliding gate over a swing gate?
Sliding gates are preferred on compact sites, uneven surfaces or where swing clearance is limited. They’re also safer in high-wind conditions.
How is the gate delivered and installed?
It’s available pre-assembled or flat packed with instructions. A crane or forklift may be needed to position the base pad. Setup is quick and requires no digging.
Can the system be reused across different sites?
Yes. The modular design and cantilever base make the gate easy to relocate as projects move or site access needs change.
Is the sliding gate compliant with UK safety standards?
Yes. It meets BS EN 1991 wind loading regulations and features B1 fire-rated components. Optional edge guards and locking brackets are available for enhanced safety and compliance.
Can I customise the gate colour or finish?
Yes. In addition to standard galvanised finish, HERMEQ offers powder coating to match safety schemes or corporate branding.
