There are many types of automation actuators, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the correct type usually comes down to the specific type of gates being used.
The best all rounder. Strong and simple and can fit most swing gates up to 4m per leaf. Wormdrives are good in that they cannot be wound backwards, thus making it very difficult to force entry by hand (though this should not be encouraged).
Extremely powerful and usually used for larger gates. They require more maintenence than its mechanical brother. Additional electric locks are advised for extra security.
Underground is the best option for those that want a tidy and visually minimal installation, as the motors are hidden below ground. They come in both mechanical and hydraulic versions (like the rams) and can suit almost any gate.
These type motors are best suited for entrances with large piers, which makes fitting ram type operators impossible.
Controlling how people enter your property can be made simple using the latest in access control technology. We offer a range of solutions to suit your needs.
Possibly the best option for most customers, and available with or without keypad. Once pressed, the unit can make calls to your landline and/or mobiles from which you can then open your gates, or deny entry.
They also include features such as "Call to Open" and "Text to Hold Open", while also maintaining a high level of security by allowing only authorised numbers access.
When receiving calls from the unit simply answer the phone, speak to the visitor/delivery driver and open the gates by pressing "3" on the keypad. All this can be done from wherever you are in the world, as long as you have mobile signal.
Simple but effective access control with the ability to easily change PIN numbers. Also has the ability for certain PINs to hold gates open.
The most common way to control your gates. Usually come as 2 or 4 Button, with the option of having different commands per button, eg. Open, Close, Hold Open, Holiday Mode, Partially Open (for pedestrian acces only) etc.
These tiny probes are simply buried alongside the driveway and can be used for automatically opening the gates whenever an entering or exiting vehicle approaches them.
Our timers give you the option to automatically open and hold open the gates at certain times of specific days of the week. Useful for postmen and refuse collectors.
