  Our automatic gate operating mechanisms fall into 2 main categories

Electro-Mechanical and Electro-Hydraulic

Electro-Mechanical equipment is generally designed for the domestic user and has a duty cycle which suits family residences and entrances that are not busy throughout the day.

Electro-hydraulic equipment is generally designed for a higher duty cycle and is suitable for busy entrances and prestige gates. Our hydraulic gate operators are fully serviceable and, if properly maintained, will give many years of reliable service.

Post-mounted operators (Mechanical or Hydraulic) are fixed to the gatepost and a sturdy cross member on the gate. It is important that they are fitted to specific measurements in relation to the gate hinge. Underground operators (Mechanical or Hydraulic) fit below ground level and it is important that the operator driveshaft aligns with the gate hinge.

If you cannot decide which system suits your application best, please call Automated Closures Ltd on 07917208437 and we will be pleased to assist.

Underground Operators

Situated below ground and aligned with the gate hinge, the underground motor provides a neat and inconspicuous automation system for ornate swing gates.

The electro-mechanical operator suitable for use in domestic applications has integral gate stops (within the foundation box) to assist installation although ground stops are recommended for heavy gates.

The load bearing foundation box can be pre-installed, when hanging the gates, and the motors retrofitted. 3 Models of mechanical motor cater for different gate sizes & opening angles.

The SUB hydraulic underground operators are designed for different gate sizes and opening angles. All models are high duty, high quality operators suitable for domestic, multi user (apartments) and commercial applications. This the premier range of underground operators for quality gates and busy entrances. The SUB Motor is the choice of hundreds of professional installers. For reliability and longevity of service this unit is hard to beat.

Post Mounted Rams  

The electro-mechanical rams are suitable for domestic applications and gates of up to 1700mm per leaf (maximum). The gate operators are constructed to our usual high standard and finished in a smart brushed aluminium housing. This unit is a 24v DC operator with integrated limit switches for a simplified and accurate installation. DC motors offer added torque and the safety benefits associated with low voltage systems.

The L series (for larger gates) are as above but designed to fit to wider gate leaves of up to 3000mm per leaf (4000mm with added lock)

Easy to fit because: The long stroke of the L model operator (400mm) allows great flexibility with mounting dimensions at the post. The operator has on board limit switches which means it can be fitted without gates stops where necessary.  

 

SUITABLE FOR :
Metal gates, Timber gates, Smaller close boarded (wind affected) gates – Domestic duty.

The electro-hydraulic rams cover a range designed for different gate sizes and functions. What they have in common is that they are high duty, high quality hydraulic rams specified for a long life in domestic, multi-user (apartments) and commercial applications. The premier range of post mount hydraulic operators. For quality gates and busy entrances. Locking and Non Locking models available for gates leaves between 1800mm and 4000mm.
