AgriGate Automated Gate Systems
Pre-built, tested, and ready to secure your property
AgriGate is a new automated gate system currently in development, designed to take the complexity out of securing a farm entrance, yard, or rural property.
Unlike bespoke automated gates that require weeks of design and fabrication, AgriGate is being built as a complete, pre-built package, with every component fitted, wired, and factory-tested before it leaves our workshop.
The aim is a system that can be installed and operational in a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional automated gate, without compromising on quality, safety, or reliability.
The range is in the final stages of development and testing. Register your interest below and we will come back to you with pricing and availability as soon as it is confirmed.
What will be included in every AgriGate system
Every AgriGate package is designed to arrive with everything needed for a complete installation, with no hidden extras or surprise costs for essential components.
The specification currently includes a pre-built gate with bolt-down hinge and latch posts, a No Ram operator with built-in obstruction detection, an IP-rated control panel with remote receiver, safety photocells for obstacle detection, two handheld remote transmitters, a heavy-duty magnetic lock with fittings, and all pre-installed cabling and factory-tested components.
That is the full working system in one delivery. Install the posts, hang the gate, connect the power, and you are up and running.
Specifications may change before launch as testing completes.
Power options for every location
AgriGate systems are planned with mains power as standard, but we know that plenty of farm entrances and field gates sit nowhere near a power supply. That is why every system should be available with a solar power and battery backup upgrade.
The solar option is designed to be completely self-sufficient. A panel charges the battery during daylight hours, and the battery stores enough power to operate the gate through the night and during overcast weather. The intention is a genuine fit-and-forget solution for remote locations.
For sites that have mains power nearby but want a backup, we also plan to offer battery systems that switch over automatically during power cuts. Harvest does not stop because the electric goes off, and neither should your gate.
Built for agricultural use
AgriGate is being developed to cope with the demands of a working farm. The No Ram operator handles gates up to 4 metres wide and is rated for frequent daily use by tractors, trailers, and other heavy vehicles. The control panel is IP-rated for outdoor installation, and all cabling and connections are specified to withstand the weather conditions you would expect in the Shropshire countryside.
The obstruction detection system is particularly important in agricultural settings. If a person, animal, or vehicle is in the path of the gate, the operator stops and reverses automatically. Combined with the safety photocells, this provides the level of protection required by current UK regulations for automated gates.
Safety and compliance
AgriGate is being designed to meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive, the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, and BS EN 13241. As a Gate Safe Premier Installer, we take compliance seriously. That means a proper risk assessment for every site, appropriate safety devices fitted as standard, and full documentation provided on completion.
For customers installing a system themselves, we provide comprehensive guidance on safety requirements and can arrange a post-installation safety check to confirm everything meets the necessary standards.
Optional accessories and upgrades
The standard AgriGate system is intended to cover most requirements, but we already supply a full range of accessories for properties that need something extra. Options include additional remote controls, intercom systems, keypads for PIN-code entry, GSM and mobile phone access, push buttons, vehicle detection sensors, WiFi and 4G connectivity for app-based control, stop posts and safety posts, protective motor covers, and signage.
For properties that need timber rather than steel, we also plan to offer AgriGate systems with timber gates and posts on request.
Installation options
There will be two choices with AgriGate. The system is designed for straightforward self-installation if you have the equipment and confidence to handle it. You will need to prepare concrete pads, dig a cable trench (for mains-powered systems), position the gate using lifting equipment, and complete the connections.
Alternatively, our engineers can handle the entire installation from groundworks through to commissioning and safety testing. Most AgriGate installations should be completed within a single day.
Planned sizes
AgriGate automated systems are planned in a range of standard widths to suit different entrance types, from pedestrian gates through to full-width field and yard entrances. If you need something outside the standard range, talk to us about a bespoke solution. We build those today, and they are available now.
Find out more
Is AgriGate available to buy yet?
Not yet. AgriGate is a new range currently in development and testing, and it is not open for orders. You can register your interest and we will contact you as soon as it launches, with pricing, sizes and lead times. If you need an automated gate sooner, our bespoke systems are available now.
When will AgriGate be available?
Development and testing are well underway, and everyone on the register of interest will hear before the range goes on general sale.
What happens if I register my interest?
We take your details and a few notes about your entrance, then contact you when AgriGate launches with pricing and availability for your site. There is no obligation and no deposit to pay, and we will not pass your details to anyone else.
What is AgriGate by Simply Secure?
AgriGate is a pre-built, automated gate system designed for fast, straightforward installation at farms, equestrian centres, driveways, business premises and more. The aim is a cost-effective solution for secure and automated access control, supplied as a complete package rather than a bespoke build.
Will I be able to install an AgriGate system myself?
Yes. Each AgriGate system is designed to be supplied ready to fit, complete with pre-installed cabling and factory-tested components. Self-installation should be straightforward if you have the right equipment, though we recommend professional installation for correct set up, safety compliance and long-term reliability.
Will AgriGate gates be suitable for remote locations?
Yes. Mains power is the standard supply option, and the range is being developed with a solar power and battery backup upgrade as well. That should make it well suited to remote field entrances and agricultural sites without easy access to electricity.
Will AgriGate automated gates meet UK safety regulations?
Yes. AgriGate is being designed to comply with UK and EU regulations for automated and electric gates, and every system will be supplied with appropriate safety devices, including photocells and obstruction detection. As a Gate Safe Premier Installer, compliance is built into the design rather than added afterwards.
What sizes will AgriGate gates be available in?
The planned range runs from 8ft to 14ft wide, covering everything from narrow paddock entrances to wider access routes for agricultural machinery and vehicles. Final sizes will be confirmed at launch. If you need something outside that range, we build bespoke gates to suit.
Will I be able to add keypads, remote controls and other access options?
Yes. AgriGate is being designed to work with a wide range of accessories, including additional remote transmitters, intercoms, GSM and mobile access, keypads and vehicle sensors, so the system can be specified around how you actually use the entrance.
How will AgriGate systems be delivered?
Delivery is planned using vehicles with appropriate lifting equipment, so the gates can be safely offloaded and positioned on site. Installation by our engineers will also be available, and we would recommend it for complex sites or larger gates.
Do you offer other gate designs or custom automation solutions?
Yes, and these are available now. AgriGate focuses on pre-built, ready-to-fit gates, but we design and install a wide range of other gate types and automation systems. Call 01952 740308 to discuss bespoke options for your property or site.
