Matched to your gate
The right motor depends on the gate's size, weight, material, the space available and how often it is used. Ram motors suit most swing gates, articulated arms suit wide pillars, underground motors keep the look clean, and rack-and-pinion motors drive sliding gates.
Automating existing gates
Many existing gates can be automated. During the survey we check the hinges, frame, ground level and travel, and tell you honestly if anything needs repairing or strengthening first.
Power, ducting and groundwork
We plan cable routes and ducting for power, safety devices and access control, so everything is protected and tidy.
Safety and documentation
Every installation is risk assessed and tested in line with BS EN 12453. We fit photocells and safety edges where needed, measure closing forces, and hand over a declaration of conformity, user instructions and safety records. Whoever automates a gate is responsible for it meeting the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, so we take that seriously.
Ways to open the gate
Remote fobs, keypads, readers, smartphone apps and number plate recognition, or link it to a video intercom to see visitors before letting them in.
