From automatic driveway gates to heavy-duty industrial driveway gates, Boswen delivers engineered systems built for long-term performance.
What Are Driveway Gates?
Driveway gates are access control gates installed at vehicle entry and exit points to regulate traffic, improve site security, and protect property boundaries.
They can be:
Manual or automated
Sliding, swinging, or cantilevered
Integrated with access control systems
Driveway gates are commonly used for industrial sites, commercial buildings, gated facilities, and high-security premises.
Automatic Driveway Gates
An automatic driveway gate operates using a motorised system, allowing vehicles to enter and exit without manual operation.
Automatic driveway gates can be activated via:
Remote controls
Keypads
Swipe cards or fobs
Intercoms
Vehicle sensors
Automation improves security, traffic flow, and convenience—especially for high-use or restricted-access sites.
Types of Driveway Gates We Offer
Boswen supplies and installs a full range of driveway gate systems, tailored to site conditions, traffic volume, and security requirements.

Swing driveway gates open inward or outward on hinges, similar to a traditional gate.

Wide driveway entrances
Low to moderate traffic sites
Residential and commercial properties

A telescopic gate consists of multiple panels that slide and stack together, allowing wide openings in limited spaces.
