Modern Technology Driven Automatic Gates

Automatic gates are electrical gates, which eliminate the need to manually open and close them. These gates have become popular among owners of residential properties mainly because there is no physical labor involved in opening and closing the gates. This type of gates has eased the work of the owner and other family members, as there is no need to open and close the gate whenever a person goes out. The person going out can manage himself opening and closing of the door.

So, here we are going to discuss some types of automatic gates.

Automatic Sliding Gates

  • Automatic sliding gates operate by sliding to the either side of the opening. These gates are provided with sliding tracks fixed on the ground on which the wheels of the gates move during opening and closing.
  • The gates are available in various designs. High quality materials such as graded steels are used to manufacture the gates in order to make them extremely strong and durable.
  • The electrical motors and controls enable automatic gate operations. The gate also enables manual operation in case of power failures. However, many models are also provided with a backup battery inside the motor to provide power during such situations.
  • The gates also have anti-jerk devices installed in them to prevent damage to the electrical systems. The motor is protected using an internal thermal switch.

The automatic sliding gates terminate movement in case an obstacle is detected in the path such as stones. The gates are also equipped with electric locks, which provide superior security to the premises.

Automatic Swinging Gates

  • Automatic swinging gates can be designed to swing either inwards or outwards. They are available in both electromechanical and hydraulic models made up of heavy-duty materials.
  • The anti-searing shape of the driving arm enables the gates to open and close with total safety.
  • The automatic gates can be fitted with surface mounted articulated arm systems, surface mounted ram systems or underground systems.
The surface mounted articulated arm systems consist of articulated arms fixed on posts or pillars of all sizes. The photocells detect the passing of a vehicle through the entrance and automatically close the gate after some time.

Automatic Gate Opener Kits

Automatic Gates
  • Automatic gate opener kits are available for both sliding and swinging gates. The kits can be used for both steel and wooden gates and need to be fixed at the gateposts in any position at the front, behind, or between the posts.
  • The gates can be controlled by remote controls, wireless keypads using passwords, switch, and other access control systems provided with the kits.
  • The remote control can be used from a distance of even 150 feet. The standard opening time of the gate can be anything between 10 and 15 seconds.
  • The Automatic closing feature is provided after a time delay, which can be adjusted by the owner. The gate is automatically locked and can be opened only through the remote or a key, which is provided with the kit.
  • In case of swinging gates, one or both the portions of the gate can be selected for operations. Photocells are provided with the kit to automatically stop the gate if it runs into an obstacle. The gates can be operated manually in case of power failures. A rotating LED lamp is activated whenever the gate is in operation.
The gate opener kits are waterproof and able to withstand all kinds of environmental elements. An inbuilt thermal sensor on the main unit provides protection against overloading and overheating. Warranty of varying durations is provided in the kits.
