GROUND SYSTEMS
|
 |
| The mechanical systems use an electric motor to operate either a worm drive or hydraulic power pack. The gates are then opened with an actuating mechanism consisting of an arm that is connected to the gate. |
Below Ground Systems |
| The advantage of an underground system is in aesthetics, looking less obtrusive than other systems because only the lid of the actuator box can be seen at ground level. The rest of the system is concreted into the ground where it cannot be seen. Although slightly more expensive this type of system is usually chosen for decorative gates. |
Above Ground |
| Above ground systems use an actuator arm fitted to the back of the gates. The cost saving comes from the fact that these systems are easier to fit. We have fitted 100's of these types and always design gates to disguise the actuator arms. The arm designs have become much slimmer in recent years. Another advantage of actuator arms is that they are able to operate much heavier and therefore larger gate designs. |
Safety |
| All
the systems we fit have an override facility so that, in the event
of power loss the gates can be opened manually. Various other safety systems such as flashing lights and proximity detectors are fitted as required. |
