Electric Farm Gates

[Right-arm fast]

Hi,

Does anybody have any recommendations for installing electric gates or companies that do this. The gate is 16ft and at the end of a farm drive.

Cheers

If you go on the Gate safe website and put in your postcode it will give you a list of registered installers in the area you live.

Not recommending an installer but as for hardware,
Maybe others have found different but I have a couple of electric gates here all run on DEA gear, the oldest being 20 yrs old approx, it needed a card replaced but other than that it's worked flawlessly.
Needed a cantilever unit a while ago and I went back for a DEA unit.

We have 2 cantilever gates from Turnpikes. They have been very reliable. http://www.turnpikes.co.uk

If you can fit a sliding gate give weaving machinery a call, we’ve had one 3yrs this summer and can’t fault it.

If you can’t do sliding then we’ve tried 3 electric arm ones and all failed after 12 months or so down to resistance against the wind when opening and shutting. Simply put they aren’t man enough. I’ve got a farm wheel one for sale if you want to try one. £250 pound notes. It was £1500 new.

We also have a turnpike swinging gate it's been faultless, very good company to deal with.

Including myself I know of at least 7 Turnpikes gates round here , as far as I know all working well.

 

[towbar]

is it single gate or 2 leaves. I’d suggest splitting it to 2 or sliding.

Howick Automation put a sliding cantilever in for us at work earlier this year. Spot on job, we did excavation and concreting ourselves.

Looking at buying 3 rams for gates are they not that robust

Anybody got a solar powered one ?, my yard hasn’t got a gate it needs one but I loath opening and closing gates.

Yes. It’s tricky to do right. Been there and got the t-shirt.

I know of a farm with solar powered gates on all the fields,fairly sure they use came equipment.

We've had a turnpikes gate since 2011. Busy drive. spiders in the sensors are the biggest problem, otherwise almost faultless.
