Inspection and Assessment
First, we examine your existing gate motor and overall gate system. We check for damage, wear, and compatibility issues. This helps us understand whether a replacement is the best option or if repairs are possible.
We also measure your gate’s size, weight, and how often it is used. These details affect what type of motor will work best. Safety features, power supply, and environmental factors like weather are all considered during this step.

We guide you in selecting a motor that fits your gate’s needs. Options vary by power, speed, and control types such as remote or keypad access. We explain the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice.
Our goal is to match your gate's size and frequency of use with a motor that offers reliability and efficiency. We also factor in energy use and maintenance needs to recommend the best motor for long-term use.
