Gooseneck Access Pedestals for Automatic Gates

Gooseneck access pedestals provide a practical and professional way to mount gate keypads, card readers, intercoms, push buttons and other access control devices beside an automatic gate.

At Skyline Gate Automation, we supply gooseneck pedestals designed for residential, commercial and industrial access points. Their raised design places access control equipment at a convenient operating height, making them particularly useful at vehicle entrances where drivers need to operate a keypad, card reader or intercom from their vehicle.

Whether you are installing a new automatic sliding gate, upgrading an existing electric gate or creating a controlled-access entrance, a suitable access pedestal can provide a neat and convenient mounting solution.

​

Access Control Mounting for Automatic Gates

Installing a keypad or intercom directly onto a gate is not always practical. A standalone gooseneck pedestal allows the access control device to be positioned beside the driveway or entrance without modifying the gate itself.

Depending on the model, gooseneck pedestals can be used for:

• Gate keypads

• RFID card readers

• Access control readers

• Gate intercoms

• Push buttons

• Key switches

• Other compatible access devices

This makes them suitable for both new installations and upgrades to existing automatic gate systems.

​

Suitable for Residential & Commercial Applications

Gooseneck access pedestals can be used across a wide range of properties and applications, including:

• Residential automatic gates

• Commercial properties

• Industrial sites

• Warehouses

• Factories

• Business parks

• Car parks

• Body corporate properties

• Apartment developments

• Security entrances

• Controlled vehicle access points

The standalone design can help keep access control equipment separate from moving gate components while providing convenient access for users.

​

Different Sizes & Designs

Different gate entrances have different requirements. The ideal pedestal height, post size, mounting plate and finish can vary depending on the application and access control equipment being installed.

Our range can therefore include different gooseneck pedestal sizes, mounting configurations and finishes as products become available.

When selecting a pedestal, consider:

• Overall height

• Post dimensions

• Mounting plate dimensions

• Access device size

• Cable entry requirements

• Ground mounting requirements

• Required finish

• Installation location

Always check the individual product specifications before purchasing to ensure that the pedestal is suitable for your access control device.

​

Designed for Gate Access Control

A gooseneck pedestal works particularly well alongside gate access control systems.

For example, a commercial entrance may use a keypad or RFID reader mounted to the pedestal. The access device can then communicate with the automatic gate opener to allow authorised users to enter.

For installations requiring voice communication, an intercom can also be mounted to a suitable pedestal.

This makes gooseneck pedestals a useful physical component of a complete automatic gate access solution.
