I had a quote for about £3600 for a solar powered gate system (to fit on existing gate). That could be rigged up to work from keypads, remote control fobs and/or a phone SIM card.

Seems a lot of money just to open a gate, but cattle grids are similar, and this gate is at the end of a long drive, so cabling would cost a good bit.

Spoken to another dude today, from local recommendation.
Will bob out soon to have a look which i think is essential.
I didn't know the ram can connect to the hanging box section. Id presumed separate support.

When I did my storage compound gate 20 years ago, Came who manufacture a lot of the gear were offering training courses with a certificate at the end for £100.
So had a day out and did the course. Was far cheaper than getting someone in to fit the gate.
Presume it will be dearer now though

Dude bin this morning
Soft endge and sensors ....
Sounds expensive but he seemed to know his stuff.....
I have a slide bolt and padlock atm . Obviously if bolt across the hydraulic arm can't open.
