Choosing the right gate motor
Knowing which “gate operator” to use for your gate can be difficult, and making the wrong decision can lead to frequent and unnecessary motor repairs.
Residential sliding gate motors or gate operators are only guaranteed for a certain number of running cycles per day and should not be used for complex on high traffic gates. Residential gate motors are usually up to 100 cycles per day, with some even going as low as 50 cycles per day; if you run the motor more than that, the guarantee will expire. Industrial or commercial sliding gate motors or “gate operators” are used in high traffic senarios and high cycle applications where gates can open or close upto 10000 times daily. Malls and hospitals are great examples of these applications
Make sure your gate’s weight does not exceed the gate motor’s recommended weight. If the gate is too heavy for the gate motor’s recommended pulling load, the gate motor will be strained, resulting in costly repairs.
We recommend that you talk to our trained professionals so we can do an assessment for you and help you choose the right motor.

Common issues with Automated Swing Gates
Typically Swing gates are more expensive to repair or install since they involve two gates. Even if you only have one swing gate, your controller is designed for two leaf operation. When working with two motors, this complicates things resulting in higher cost.
Gate sagging normally caused by loose, damaged hinges or compromised mounting points affect how gate opens or closes.Swing gates that aren’t operating smoothly can cause major damage to the motors, so make sure they’re installed correctly to ensure the motors last as long as possible.
Where Possible we recommend switching or installing a Sliding Gates as they are less prone to failure and are more secure.
- The motors don’t stop working.
- The gate motor is turned on, but it does not move.
- Slowly moving.
- There is only one gate that opens.
- Gate is slammed into each other or wall when fully opened or closed.
- Beeping of the controller box indicating some sort of failure
- The sound of hinges is audible.
At any point during the cycle, it touches the ground. - There is a misalignment in the gate.

Common Gate Motor Problems
– Your gate motor has stopped operating or creating any noises
Examine if your breaker is operating before anything at all else Remove the box off of your gate motor and verify if there is anything on the LED screen or if any of the other lights are on. This will show you if there is power going to your gate motor or not. If there are lights on you might possibly have a remote control trouble the batteries could be flat or maybe damaged.
– The gate doesn’t halt where it is intended to or doesn’t quit at the end.
This trouble is most often induced by oil leaks in the motor which induce the sensor to slip. To solve this problem you need to contact a technician who will clean the oil and receive your motor working again.
– Your remote control quits functioning.
If you have tried changing the battery and checked that the gate motor operates with other remotes then you have an issue with your remote control. Call us and we can deliver and program a new remote controller for you.
– Beeping sounds coming from the motor.
A beeping sound is typically the cause of power outages and low battery warning. You could have damaged power to your gate motor or your battery could be defective. We carry new batteries so give us a call and we will test and if required replace your 12v battery with a new one.
