The three families at a glance
| Family | Gate movement | Space it needs | Weight ceiling | Deep guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sliding | Leaf slides sideways on a floor track | Side run the length of the gate | Highest — up to 4000 kg | Selection guide |
| Swing | Hinged leaves swing open | Clearance in front or behind | Per-leaf limits | Swing buyer guide |
| Rolling | Curtain rolls up overhead | Headroom box above the opening | By curtain weight | Shutter motor guide |
Which family is yours? Three questions
1) Is the gate already built? Its mechanics decide — motorise what exists rather than rebuild. 2) Building new with side space? Sliding wins on weight capacity and self-locking security. 3) No side run and no headroom? Swing is the answer, sized per leaf. Border cases (narrow side run, very wide openings) deserve a photo review — send it on WhatsApp 01098470908 and the practical answer comes back the same day.
What every family shares
All three run from a control board with a rolling-code receiver, accept safety photocells and a flashing lamp, include manual release for power cuts, and ship as complete kits — supply only, cash on delivery, delivery within hours same-day in Cairo and Giza and 3-5 working days to all governorates.

FAQ
Can I convert my swing gate to sliding?
Technically yes, practically expensive — it means new track, wheels and structure. Motorising the existing system is nearly always the better spend.
Which family is most secure?
Sliding self-locks mechanically through its worm gear; the others secure well with locks and accessories. All three take rolling-code remotes.
Which is cheapest?
Depends on the gate: swing needs an arm per leaf (two leaves = two motors), sliding needs rack by the meter. The real comparison happens on your gate’s numbers.
Do all three work with the same remote?
Same remote families, yes — one remote can run gate and shutter when receivers match. Photos of both boards confirm it.
Do you install?
Supply only — kits ship with wiring guides, any electrician installs, and WhatsApp support stays with you until it runs.
