How sliding gate automation works

  1. Tell us about the gate

    Share the suburb, gate length, approximate weight, track condition and photos if available.

  2. We assess the requirements

    We consider the gate movement, track, rollers, usage level, controls and safety needs.

  3. Receive a suitable recommendation

    We provide guidance on the motor, controls and accessories suited to the gate.

  4. Arrange installation

    The work is scheduled subject to site requirements, product availability and installer availability.

Choosing the right motor for a sliding gate

A sliding gate motor should be selected for the actual gate weight, length, movement and expected daily usage rather than only the gate opening size.

The track, rollers, rack, alignment, power supply, safety devices and access-control requirements should also be reviewed before recommending a motor.

Residential vs commercial sliding gate automation

Residential sliding gates

  • Lower to moderate daily usage
  • Gate weight and driveway access remain important
  • Battery backup may be useful
  • Remote, keypad and safety-beam options available

Commercial sliding gates

  • Higher daily usage and heavier gates
  • More robust motor capacity may be required
  • Access-control and safety requirements can be more complex
  • Reliability and maintenance planning are important
