Single gate can be mounted either top, middle or bottom of gate frame.
Double gates are best mounted to the bottom of your gate frame providing the area is not prone to flooding. Mounting the arms to this section will prevent any bending or twisting of the gates when they are pushing up against the ground stop.
YES - if your gate is swinging from a square post then the standard brackets will be suitable for the installation. If swinging from a round post then you do have optional round post brackets that you can purchase. If swinging from a pillar then your gate cannot be hinged any further than 150mm in from the back face of the pillar.
Yes, depending on the size post that the gate swings off and the pivot point you set the actuator arm up with. We wouldn't recommend trying to get any further than 110 degrees
Yes - Our gate opener will either push or pull open a gate with the actuator mounted on the inside of the property. If your gate is pushing out to the road to open, you will require the push to open bracket.
There is no maintenance required on the actuator arm.
We do recommend keeping an eye out for insect or bug infestation in the main control box as well as any accessories.
Keep an eye out that your gate does not drop or become un level over time.
Yes it may. There are a few things that come into play if mounting our gate opener onto a brick pillar. Firstly if the gate is pulling in towards the property and you wish to install the gate opener on the inside, then you will require a minimum distance from the back of the pillar to the hinge point of 150mm. Anything further than this distance and the actuator will not reach around the pillar to fully close your gate (if this is the case you may require a scissor arm system). Secondly, the gate opener will apply a lot of pressure at the post bracket when closing and opening and may want to pull the post bracket out or damage your pillar overtime.
With our standard remotes you could get approximately 50mtrs taking into account line of sight to the gate and area interference. For a longer distance our long range option MAY get you up to 400mtrs (all dependent on area interference and line of sight)
No, you would need to add the electric gate lock if you require the gate to latch and lock. Without the electric gate lock on the gate, the gate opener will apply pressure to the gate and gate stop in the closed position giving a firm hold, however it will not lock the gate into position.
The electric system will close and open together, however (depending on your control board) the solar system may open the gates together but when closing, one gate will close first and the second gate will follow. This saves charge on the battery.
