Gate Automation

There are four basic types of Gate Automation available, each offering a different type of package.

Above Ground Rams

Gate operators installed on the gates and are visible to see, but easy to use.

Each leaf is powered independently by its own motor.

Available in either electro- mechanical or hydraulic.

Rams usually open gates to a maximum 100-110 degrees,

Some systems this can be extended with special brackets.

Above Ground Articulated Arm

These operators are particularly useful for converting existing manual gates to an automated system.

Articulated arm installed on each leaf of the gates.

The operators are securely fixed to the back of the pillars and brackets are fitted onto the gates.

They are visible to see.

Underground Automation

Gate motors are installed in the ground in foundation boxes.

Only the lid is visible to see as the motors are situated underground.

Available in either electro- mechanical or hydraulic.

With less of the system visible, they are much less prone to vandalism, which may be a consideration in some residential and commercial areas.

Sliding Automation

Gate motor installed at the bottom of the gate.

They are visible to see

Sliding gates are very useful when there is camber in the driveway preventing swing gates to open.

In most cases, the sliding gate will run on a track with weighted support by a steel I- Beam (RSJ) installed underground.
