How to Choose Between a Sliding and Swing Gate Motor

Start with the gate movement

Sliding and swing gates place different loads on the operator. The correct approach depends on the gate movement, available space, gate condition, access flow, power and safety-device requirements.

Why a site check matters

A motor should not be selected to compensate for a gate that drags, binds or lacks suitable safety equipment. SonSec checks the physical gate before recommending automation.
