Frequently asked questions

What does a sliding gate motor kit include?
Typically the motor unit, a control board, a toothed rack fixed along the gate, and an operating device such as a remote or key switch. Photocells are added for safety.
How is the right capacity chosen?
By the actual gate weight, its width and how often it opens per day. Our available range runs from 800 kg up to 4000 kg.
Sliding or swing motor — which one?
It depends on the gate itself. Sliding gates run along the wall and save the space a swing gate needs to open into.
