Choosing a system to suit your gates

We provide electric gates to cover all gate types and weights, from a 3.5m 5 bar wooden estate gate to an industrial twin up to 5m per wing. 

     The stroke of the motor is more important than the power. 

Stroke

If you put a 280 - 310 mm stroke motor on gates with a large 3m wing, it will open too fast, and trip off too easily. 

Opposite - If you put a 380 - 410 mm stroke motor on gates with a smaller 2 - 2.5m wing it will open slower.

All our motors are call 310,410 & 510 (motor stroke) E.g Alpha E2 310 - Electric Gate  Kit.

We recommend with twin gates :-

310 <0-2.5m/Gate Wing>    410 <2.5-3.0m/Wing>     510 <3.0-3.5m/Wing>

Weight

All our above ground electric gate motors will handle gates upto 300 kg per wing. (Guide - If two people can lift one of your wings the gates wont weigh above 200 kg.)

Power

Remember your gates are on hinges and you can swing them by hand, you dont want an electric gate motor that can move 1/2 ton, you need one that will move your gates and still trip off if it hits an obstruction easily.

Our automatic gate kits are matched so when they are working they are set at half power.  This gives you the ability to turn the power up or down.

We don't sell gate motors or automatic gates kits that need to run on full power.
