Our Installation Process

Professional gate motor installation involves precise steps and technical expertise to ensure reliable automated gate operation. Safety standards, motor compatibility, and proper mounting techniques play crucial roles in a successful installation.

01

Consultation

We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing gate structure and property layout. Our technicians measure the gate's weight, width, and movement path to determine the most suitable motor system.


We evaluate the gate's hinges, posts, and foundation to confirm they can support automated operation. This includes checking for level mounting surfaces and adequate power supply access.



Environmental factors like wind exposure and drainage patterns are documented to prevent future complications. We also note any special requirements such as emergency access or high-traffic usage patterns.

02

Selection of Gate Motors

We recommend motors based on your gate's specifications and usage patterns. For sliding gates, we typically suggest chain-driven or rack-and-pinion systems, while swing gates often require hydraulic or articulated arm motors.


Key Motor Specifications to Consider:


  • Gate weight capacity
  • Opening frequency per hour
  • Operating speed requirements
  • Power source availability
  • Backup battery options


Our selection process prioritizes reliable brands with proven track records and comprehensive warranty coverage.

03

Installation

We mount the motor unit on a solid concrete base to ensure stability. Proper alignment of all moving components is critical for smooth operation.


The installation includes:


  • Securing power cables in protective conduits
  • Installing safety sensors and limit switches
  • Calibrating the motor's force settings
  • Programming remote controls and access devices


We test all safety features extensively, including obstacle detection and manual release mechanisms. Each installation concludes with operational verification under various conditions.

Post-Installation Support

We provide comprehensive post-installation support to ensure your automatic gate motor operates reliably and efficiently for years to come. Our expert technicians remain available to assist with maintenance, troubleshooting, and ongoing service needs.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends your gate motor's lifespan. We recommend lubricating all moving parts every 3-4 months with a silicone-based lubricant.


Check the gate's alignment and tracking system monthly to prevent unnecessary strain on the motor components.


Keep the photocell sensors clean and clear of debris to maintain proper safety functionality. A simple wipe-down with a soft cloth is sufficient.


Test the battery backup system quarterly to ensure continued operation during power outages.
