Reliable, DIY-friendly gate automation for homes, farms and rural properties across Australia. Built for Australian conditions, with minimal maintenance and no need for heavy-duty commercial operators.
The E8 comes in both versions, so you can match it to your power situation rather than your gate type. Both kits use the same actuator and control system — the only difference is how it's powered.

OPTIONAL ADD ONS
Build out your kit
Most customers order the base kit alone — these are here if your gate or property needs something extra.
Yes. The E8 can be set up for an inward or outward swinging gate, and you can still have the actuator arm on the inside of the property. If that's your preferred setup, order the E8 outward opening bracket.
How many times a day can a solar gate opener run?
Typical residential use (around 10 cycles a day) is easily supported by sunlight and battery capacity.
Will the solar still work in cloudy weather?
Yes. Energy is stored in the battery, so the gate keeps operating through low-sunlight periods.
Can I install the E8 myself?
Yes. It's built for DIY installation and comes with instructions & basic handyman skills are usually enough.
What maintenance does it need?
Very little. Just check moving parts, battery condition (solar kits), and gate alignment from time to time.
Can I add accessories later?
Yes. The system works with keypads, sensors, and remote access modules added any time after install.
