Customer Installations on Rural Farm Gates

electric farm gate opener

Installation using the round gate bracket on the farm gate with the standard post bracket.  This is a pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property, pulling the gate into open.

Electric Farm gate opener

Installation using the standard gate bracket and also added a vertical upright to their farm gate to attached the bracket too.  This is a pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property, pulling the gate into open. They have also used the gate stop supplied in the kit as a ground stop when the gate is fully closed.

Farm gate solar opener

Installation is showing a push to open setup using the push to open bracket.  As you can see this bracket is providing a really good angle between the farm gate and arm that is required. Without the push to open bracket your actuator arm will run parallel with the gate causing all sorts of issues.

Auto Farm Gate

Installation using the round gate bracket with the standard post bracket.  This is a pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property, pulling the farm gate into open.

Solar power farm gate

Installation using the round post brackets to accomodate their round post.  This is a pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property, pulling the farm gate into open. They have added a horizontal mid rail to attach the actuator arm to and also installed our electric gate lock for extra security.

Automatic Farm gate

This setup is showing a push to open install, with the gate in the full open position and still providing that important angle that is required between the farm gate and actuator arm.

Solar Farm gate opener

Installation with the standard gate bracket, drilling straight through the farm gate frame along with the standard post bracket. A pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property.

Farm gate automation

Installation using the round gate bracket on their gate frame along with the standard post bracket for their post.  This is a pull to open setup with the actuator on the inside of the property, pulling the gate into open.  Actuator is set to full retraction with the gate in the open position to prevent having to use a gate stop.
