Your gate is light; a 500–800 kg motor runs it comfortably without strain or extra cost.
Your gate is medium; an 800–1000 kg motor covers it steadily. Exact pick confirmed with size and usage.
Your gate is medium-heavy; a 1600 kg motor is the ideal balance — enough power without overpaying.
Your gate is heavy; it needs a 2000 kg motor for stable, safe movement. For intensive use, ask for the heavy-duty version.
Your gate is very heavy; it needs a 2000 kg heavy-duty motor or higher based on actual weight. Our sales team confirms the best fit.
No problem if you are unsure of the weight — from the width, height and usage you selected, our sales team calculates the correct power precisely.
You want a sliding gate motor that fits your gate load and your daily usage.

Step one — weight decides the motor class
Estimate the leaf weight from its area and steel thickness (or send photos and measurements on WhatsApp and we calculate it). Then pick the class with comfortable headroom: a motor running at half its rated pull lives for years; one running at its limit runs hot and dies young. The Egyptian market classes: 800 kg for standard villa gates, 1100 kg (24V) for intensive-use compound gates, 2500 kg for factory and warehouse gates, and 4000 kg for the heaviest industrial leaves.
Step two — 220V or 24V, decided by usage not preference
| Criterion | 220V systems | 24V systems |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Villas — several cycles a day | Compounds & businesses — dozens of cycles |
| Duty cycle | Standard | High — built for continuous use |
| Power cut | Manual release key | Battery backup keeps it running |
| Electrical safety | Standard | Low-voltage — safer wiring |
Step three — rack meters and the accessories worth adding
The toothed rack is sold by the meter and must cover the full leaf length — state your gate length so it is quoted from the start. Worth adding for most gates: safety photocells and a flashing lamp; worth considering for compounds: spare remotes in quantity. What the full kit contains and how delivery works is covered in the kit & delivery guide, and where to buy in Cairo with a WhatsApp quote is in the Cairo buyer guide.
