Strong farm /site entrance solar powered security gate?

[Pilatus]

What type of the above do you have, are they really strong that would resist a ram from a 4x4?
If one has the room are electric /solar powered “Sliding” security gates stronger than “swinging” security gates, as I wonder how one has a very strong gate latch on a swinging security gate.

If you have the room, the gate can open towards the potential ramming vehicle direction, surely you can then have the clapping post adding real strength to the resistance when the gate is closed onto the catch? The catch is then just there to stop the gate being pulled open??

Usually, the gates are moved with an electric actuator but last year at a show, I saw one company last year with a solar kit that was a drive wheel at the clapping end of the gate, so it could cope with a really heavy gate and a rough surface and could be retro-fitted to an existing installation. This had a solenoid catch to retain the gate and could do what I describe above. Well doable by a farm workshop Id have thought.

Been a hell of a lot of sliders put in locally though, after the light fingered fairies of the night have been about...
