Tag Archives: industrial sliding gate automation
Industrial sliding gate automation is a different problem from a residential gate. The gate is heavier, it cycles far more often, and safety devices matter more because vehicles and people share the opening. These guides cover duty cycle, heavy capacities and photocell coverage in factory and warehouse settings.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a motor suitable for industrial use?
Duty cycle. A gate that opens dozens of times a day needs a unit built for continuous operation, not just one rated for the weight.
Which capacities suit industrial gates?
Commonly 2000 kg and above, but the actual figure depends on the gate weight and width.
Are photocells necessary on industrial gates?
They are strongly recommended wherever vehicles and pedestrians share the opening, since they stop or reverse the gate when the beam is broken.
Heavy capacity models: Italian sliding gate motors up to 4000 kg.
