HowtoChoosea Gate Operator
Many factors are important when choosing the right Gate Operator for a property, below are some of the main considerations when deciding which AGate Operator is best suited to an application.
Gate Type
The correct Gate Operator will need to be chosen based on the presence of a Swing or Slide Gate. The type of gate is often dictated by the landscape of the property, including available space, pitch of the land, and other factors.
Standalone & Entry System Dependent Devices
Some Gate Operators can be installed at an access point and manage user and guest access internally, while others require an installed Entry System for programming and operation. Small properties with one access point may choose a standalone product while more complex locations with multiple entry points will need an Entry System.
Gate Length & Weight
The level of power required by the Gate Operator will be dictated by the gate length and weight, with larger gates requiring a more powerful Gate Operator.
Open & Close Speed
For safety and convenience, a more powerful Gate Operator with a faster open and close rate can be selected.
Mounting Options
When aesthetics are the priority, users will choose a more low-profile or even gate-mounted Gate Operator to let the gate stand in the spotlight.
Number of Users
Single-family residential properties may choose a light duty Gate Operator while a larger multi-unit facility will want to choose a continuous use Gate Operator designed to withstand many cycles per day.
