Gate automation provides many advantages and is used to improve the security and protection of public and commercial buildings and high value multi-tenanted properties. The use of automated gates enhances and contributes to the prestige of the protected site by ensuring only authorised persons can gain access. The contribution to security is immediate with traffic control and crowd segregation easily achieved.

Paramount recognise that reliability is the most important feature of any automated gate system and specify the best drives available to achieve this objective. Developed for over twenty years in the largest market for gate drives in the world their robust quality is backed  by a two year Manufacturers warranty.

Equally important to the gate operation is an efficient control system. We offer push button, radio control, coded key pad, and proximity card reader systems as the standard means of control and are able to offer PC based systems controlling large numbers of gates reporting to a central control room either on or off site. Our electronics division is able to provide an integrated solution to your access control problems providing a turn key solution incorporating alarms, CCTV, and audio systems interfaced with the site entry points.

  Powered Swing Gates

Supplied in heights up to 3.6m we can offer single and double leaf configurations with a maximum width of 4.0m per leaf. Driven by our exclusive PowerArm Range these gates set a new standard in the automated gate industry.

A range of three drives enables us to select the most suitable for the customers  requirement. Models are available for light domestic  through to heavy industrial use and can meet the most arduous duty cycles including continuous operation.

The design of the PowerArm offers excellent security in the closed position and removes the need for additional locks on all gate leaves below 3.5m.

With safety being of Paramount  importance the sophisticated software continuously monitors the motion of the gate. Should the leaf come into contact with any obstruction it will stop or reverse, until the obstruction has been removed.  

Powered Residential Gates

 Paramount can also offer power operated gates to the residential sector, these are of a lighter manufactured weight but retain the strength of their commercial counterparts.

The drive units required for these gates need to be of a less obtrusive nature and so Paramount has introduced the Actuator-One. This unit fits directly to the gate and has a life expectancy of over 500,000 cycles. Unlike other hydraulic drives, this unit contains no oil internally, eliminating any possibilities of leaks.

The Actuator-One is always installed inside the property, but can open in both directions
With 450 pounds of torque, it is capable of up to 30 complete 90-degree cycles per hour on gates up to 4.0m wide.
It is equipped with a burglar alarm and many other standard features not offered in competitors units.
