Here are the most requested models of automations for electric gates and the indicative prices for Made-in-Italy brands.
Whether it’s a private residence, a company or an apartment building, electric gates are becoming the preferred choice for those who want to improve the security and convenience of their property.
Regulating access is increasingly a necessity and an automatic gate gives you the opportunity to obtain more advantages with a single mechanism.
Most requested electric gates
According to our experience, the most popular electric gates are swing gates and sliding gates:
- Automatic sliding gates open and close horizontally, sliding sideways on rails. They are ideal for confined spaces and offer a wide opening for vehicles to pass through.
- Automatic swing gates, on the other hand, open and close like a door, with two panels that move outward or inward. They are suitable for larger spaces or in cases of transition with no lateral spaces and give a traditional and solid look to the property.
Electric gate price
When you decide to install an electric gate, you need understand the factors that affect the overall cost. It should be noted that the price of an electric gate automation can depend on various variables, such as the size: a heavier gate will require a more powerful motor and therefore will cost more than a lighter one.
The type of automation chosen is also another determining factor in defining the price of an automatic electric gate.
Sliding gates generally tend to have a slightly higher price than swing gates because they require the installation of a track system that guarantees smooth and precise movement. However, they can work with a single motor and do not need hydraulic arms. Swing gates, instead, require separate motors for each panel and therefore, in the case of a swing gate with two leaves, the investment could exceed that of a sliding gate.
Another aspect that can influence the price of the electric gate is the presence of extra features, such as obstacle detection sensors, photocells or latest generation gate openers. These additional features can increase the total cost of automation, but offer greater safety and convenience.

- Measures of the Gate: as a rule, the larger the gate, the more the cost of the automation increases because it will require a more powerful motor.
- Opening method: swing or sliding can change the cost of a gate, but there are specific characteristics that make them almost equivalent in cost. If on the one hand there are tracks and other mechanisms to install, on the other hand there can be more motors and arms.
- Difficulty of installation: the installation of an automatic gate can vary in terms of complexity, depending on the conformity of the ground where it will be installed, the location of the gate, the possible presence of impediments, and so on.
- Electric motor model: the adoption of more performing and higher quality electric motors can affect the final price of the gate. VDS Automation, with its 100% Italian production is able to maintain a very high average quality and contain costs.
- More or less advanced level of automation: for example, the installation of safety sensors or the purchase of biometric or remote access authorization systems can increase the cost of the system.
Overall, the price for installing an automatic gate can fluctuate between a minimum of 3-400 euros up to a few thousand euros depending on all these elements considered.
