Gate Motor Installations Sandton: certified experts for sliding and swing gates
We prepare each site with a precise survey so the new installation runs smoothly from day one.
Sliding gate new installation: we fit a true, level rail, align the rack for correct meshing and set stopper points. Controller limits are programmed so the sliding gate opens and closes without overrun. Safety beams and warning lights are added where needed.
Swing gate automation: we install single or double leaf operators, check linkage geometry and fine‑tune force and limit settings. Soft‑stop reduces slamming and protects hinges for long life.
- We size motors by weight and cycles per day so domestic drives (≈50–100 cycles) use appropriate drive units and busy sites get high‑duty operators.
- Our technicians resolve site problems like uneven tracks or binding wheels before mounting the unit.

Repairs, servicing and maintenance to keep your gate motor reliable – Gate Motor Installations Sandton
When access stalls, we respond fast to diagnose and get moving again.
Quick on-site repairs and checks—we diagnose issues such as a gate stuck mid‑travel, squeaks, slow running or misaligned limits. A beeping controller usually points to low battery or a power fault; we test chargers and replace 12V cells where needed.

Servicing essentials
If oil appears on the housing we strip and service the gearbox: drain, clean, replace seals and refill with the correct oil. We follow a strict no‑grease policy for the motor drive and address root causes like debris, worn rollers or hinge friction.
Security and spares
For added security we fit anti‑theft cages, weld base plates or link anti‑lift alarms to your system. We carry common parts and spare batteries so most gate motor repairs finish on the same visit.
| Service check | Action | Why it matters |

Sliding gate motors vs swing gate motors: choosing the right operator – Gate Motor Installations Sandton
Choosing between a sliding or a swing system starts with how often the entrance will be used each day.
Cycle demand matters. Residential sliding gate motors are typically rated for about 50–100 cycles per day. Using a domestic unit on a busy entrance will void guarantees and shorten life.
For high‑traffic sites — malls, hospitals or apartment complexes — we specify industrial operators rated for thousands, sometimes up to 10,000 cycles per day. That prevents frequent faults and heavy repair bills.

Weight, track condition and pull force are just as important. We weigh or estimate the leafs, check rollers and track alignment, then choose a motor with comfortable headroom.
- We assess driveway layout, slope, wind exposure and parking to pick sliding or swing solutions that suit your site and security needs.
- For swing leaves we check hinge geometry; long or heavy leaves may need stronger linear or underground units.
- We add maintenance plans and surge protection where reliability is crucial, especially in local power conditions.
| Type | Typical duty (per day) | Suitable weight / use | Typical benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic sliding | 50–100 | Light to medium gates | Compact, cost‑effective, easy maintenance |
| Commercial sliding | 1000–10,000 | Heavy, high‑cycle gates | High torque, long service life |
| Swing (linear/underground) | 50–5,000 | Varies by leaf size and hinge | Space‑sensitive, smooth operation for varying leaves |
| Key considerations | — | Track/hinge condition, pull force | Prevents strain and costly failures |
