sliding gate

Horizontal moving entrance

A sliding gate is a gate that opens by moving horizontally along a track rather than swinging on hinges.

Common at driveways, industrial facilities, and security entrances where space constraints make swing gates impractical: The sliding gate rolled back to let the delivery truck through.

Often motorized for remote operation.
