Facts to consider when choosing a gate motor

Choosing the right gate motor can be very confusing, therefore a thorough research is necessary to avoid future regrets. We have compiled a list below based on our installer experience to help you make the right choice. Consulting your local installer or sales agent will also help.

Gate size and motor capabilities

With different motor gate sizes, you need to get the right machine that is able to carry the gate weight and length. The correct motor will save you on repair costs and inconveniences.

Gate motor warranty

Its important to choose a gate machine that has at least 2 years manufacturer warranty. Because gate motors are quite expensive you would not want to buy a new one every single year. Make sure you get a certified installer to protect your warranty claim.

Reliability and durability

A reliable gate motor will save maintenance costs and inconveniences. It needs to also withstand harsh weather conditions and able to cope with the operating environment.

Availability of parts and repair services

Brands with more local suppliers and distributors makes it easy to get parts. Locally manufactured electric gates have better after sales support.

Easy to operate for end user

The remote gate must be easy to use. Accessible user interface also helps diagnose problems or faults. You need to be able to put the gate on manual in the event of break downs.

Affordability and cost

Choosing the remote gate within your budget is critical to avoid overspending. Most gate motors in the market are reasonably durable as long as they are the right size for your gate. Its not true that cheaper gate motors the less durable.

Warranties on gate motors

Most motor gates we supply comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty. The warranty on the electric gates can be claimed through us as registered installers or directly to the manufacturer. Terms and conditions of claiming a warranty must be satisfied from both the user and the installer. Physical damage, bad installation, tempering or using a different installer can void the warranty claim. A call out fee of R750.00 is applicable on all claims after 6 months of installation.
