Built For Strength And Long-term Performance

Security begins with structural integrity. Our manual gates are engineered using high-quality materials and precision welding techniques to ensure maximum durability. Designed for continuous outdoor use, they are resistant to corrosion, impact and general wear associated with busy commercial sites.

Finishes include powder coating as standard, with galvanised options available for enhanced longevity in exposed or high-moisture environments. A full range of RAL colours allows each installation to complement existing perimeter fencing and site aesthetics.

Heavy-duty hinges, reinforced frames and secure locking systems ensure dependable daily operation. Whether installed in unmanned areas or high-traffic locations, our manual gates are designed to perform consistently over time with minimal maintenance requirements.

Manual Vehicle Access Gates

Manual vehicle gates provide secure control over roadways, car parks and restricted access points. Available in swing or sliding configurations, they offer flexible solutions for sites of varying sizes and layouts.

Swing gates are ideal where space allows for a traditional hinged opening, providing straightforward and reliable access control. For sites requiring wider openings or limited swing clearance, manual sliding gates offer a practical alternative, operating smoothly along a cantilever system without the need for ground tracks.

These systems are particularly suited to industrial facilities, logistics depots, storage compounds and private estates where secure but simple access control is required.

Pedestrian Access Gates

Pedestrian manual gates are designed to integrate seamlessly within secure perimeter fencing systems. Commonly used in schools, commercial buildings and industrial sites, they provide controlled foot traffic access while preventing unauthorised entry.

Available with a range of infill options including mesh, palisade, timber and tubular bar designs, pedestrian gates can be customised to match surrounding fencing and site security levels. Various locking mechanisms and hardware options allow the gate to be specified in line with operational requirements.

Height Restrictors And Access Control

For areas requiring vehicle height management, combined height restrictor and access gate systems provide an effective solution. These installations prevent high vehicle access into restricted zones such as underground car parks, staff-only areas and service yards.

Clear signage and durable steel construction ensure reliable performance while maintaining safety and operational control. Systems can be configured in single or double leaf formats to suit individual site layouts.

Efficient and professional service every time. Kim in the office is friendly and helpful and whenever we have an issue with our gates they always attend promptly to assist, even though they weren’t the original installers. They are also reasonably priced compared to others.

Howick Automation went above and beyond when we had a panel failure to our gate motor, the timing of the failure just before a bank holiday couldn't of been worse but Mick the engineer was determined to fix and stayed until the job was done ! the parts kept arriving wrong or faulty from supplier so Will from the office jumped in his van and drove to the supplier's warehouse to pick up a replacement part and a spare motor just in case. that is the definition of customer service, it was a very stressful time for our company whilst the gate was down but we had every faith that Howick would get it fixed one way or another. special thanks to: Kim Joanna Will and last but certainly not least Mick

Had some rather large electric gates installed along with a matching side gate, the whole process from initial quote to installation was first class and they look fantastic. For privacy reasons we went with solid gates, which have caused some issues with strong winds due to the size, but Howick Forge quickly found a way to address the problem and a solution was engineered and installed. Highly recommended A++++++

I had a good experience with this business. I called about getting some work done and they were quick to advise me on what the best steps were going ahead. They worked through the complications we have with the site and were helpful in providing advice. I would not hesitate to use them again.

On the recommendation of a friend, I recently had new gates fitted by Howick Automation. I have been really happy with the efficient and professional service I received from them at every stage of the process. From the moment they came to give me an estimate to the day the gates were finished, every interaction with all members of the team has been excellent. The guys who fitted the gates were so considerate and friendly. They always turned up on time and worked with the minimum mess and disruption. This might not sound like a big deal, but in my experience this kind of service is quite rare nowadays. The team have obviously been chosen with care and trained well. It is clear that they enjoy their jobs and want to do their very best work. I am really happy with the gates, they are really great quality and supplied at a fair price. I would not hesitate to recommend this Company to any one who needs their services.
