Frequently Asked Questions

It’s the electric drive unit that powers the automatic opening and closing of a gate (swing or sliding).

Match the motor to the gate’s type (swing or sliding), weight, width/length, frequency of use and environment (indoor/outdoor).

Common types include swing‑arm motors, underground motors, sliding rack/travel motors and hydraulic units.

Yes—if the gate is structurally sound, aligned correctly, and you mount the motor appropriately for the gate’s type.

They may use mains electricity, battery backup systems, or solar setups for off‑grid or remote locations.

Essential features include obstacle detection (auto‑stop/reverse), manual release for power failure, and lock or latch capability when the gate is closed.

Regular checks include inspecting the motor unit, wiring, sensors, hinging, and track alignment, and ensuring the system is clean and free of obstructions.

Many motors include a manual release or battery backup, allowing the gate to be operated manually or on stored power until mains power returns.

Yes—faster opening speeds reduce wait times, but the motor must still be appropriate for the gate’s weight and duty cycle.

Motors must be weather‑rated if outdoors. Consider exposure to rain, wind, dust, or salt (if near the coast) and ensure IP‑rated enclosures and corrosion‑resistant parts.

Yes—there are heavy‑duty motors rated for heavier gates or frequent usage, but you must select one with sufficient load and duty cycle capacity.

Ensure the gate structure is strong, posts or tracks are aligned, mounting pad or plates are correct, and wiring or conduit is properly routed.

Confirm the gate weight/length specs, motor duty rating, compatibility with accessories (remotes, keypads, sensors), warranty/support, and availability of spare parts.

A well‑matched motor offers enhanced convenience, security, smoother operation, and longer lifespan with fewer repairs and better performance.
