About Moving Gate Systems
Moving Gate Systems is a locally owned and operated gate company serving Tucson and communities across southern and central Arizona. The company provides gate fabrication, installation, repair, maintenance, and troubleshooting for residential, commercial, and community settings. Its work includes automatic gate systems, driveway gates, HOA gate systems, folding security gates, solar-powered gates, traffic loops, pool gate locks, and commercial gate repair.
The company is family owned and operated for two generations. Buddy Whited began working in the automatic gate industry at age 16, apprenticing with his father's gate company, which specialized in installation and repairs. He later worked as a service technician for Elite Access Systems in Southern California. After Elite was acquired by LiftMaster, Whited moved to Tucson and worked for LiftMaster as a Field Service Manager. In that role, he traveled to sites throughout North America to assist installing dealers with troubleshooting and installation issues. Moving Gate Systems' website describes this background as part of the experience the company brings to gate repair and installation.
Moving Gate Systems operates a full fabrication shop and handles projects from custom gate construction through installation and ongoing service. Recent examples shown on the company website include a custom iron sliding driveway gate with a LiftMaster keypad and a Maximum Controls operator in central Arizona, a solar-powered residential sliding gate in Green Valley, and a custom double swing gate with solar power. The company also installed LiftMaster LA 500 operators for a custom driveway gate in the central Arizona region and replaced swing gate operators with Maximum Controls equipment at Mountain Trace Terrace in Tucson, along with work on a Cellgate phone system.
Solar power is one of the company's listed specialties. Moving Gate Systems provides and installs solar gate systems, including barrier gates serving residents at La Cholla Airpark in Oro Valley and a residential solar-powered sliding gate in Green Valley. The company also works on vehicle access systems for commercial and community properties. A recent project involved repairing a damaged commercial sliding gate at a storage facility in Sahuarita, where the gate used a heavy-duty LiftMaster operator. Another project in Wellton involved installing a tilt-a-way gate, also known as a vertical pivot security gate, at a Border Patrol station.
For property associations, the company lists HOA gate systems along with service, repair, and maintenance. Other listed services include automatic gate openers, traffic loops, folding security gates, pool gate locks, commercial gate repair, and general repair and installation. Moving Gate Systems is licensed, bonded, and insured in Arizona, and its website identifies it as a member of the Tucson Better Business Bureau and the Central Arizona Chapter of the Community Associations Institute. The company also states that emergency service is available.
Moving Gate Systems serves Tucson from its local operation and maintains a Scottsdale office by appointment. Visitors to the company's website can review its gallery, recent projects, products, videos, and gate safety information before contacting the company about a quote or service. The site also reports that Business Rate named Moving Gate Systems the number one fence contractor for Tucson in 2025 and rated it a fence contractor for 2026, citing quality workmanship, customer service, customer trust, and help with buying decisions.
