Description
When a gate is long, made of solid iron or opens dozens of times a day, a residential opener falls short and overheats. For those cases we install high-cycle openers, with more power, sturdier gears and a duty cycle designed for the main entrance of a gated community, a warehouse, a free trade zone or a company parking lot.
On these jobs, the foundation and the gate matter as much as the motor. We check the track, the wheels and the top guides, and we recommend a reinforced gear rack. We also look at the available power supply, since some units run on 120 V and others need 220 V or three-phase power, and we protect the opener with its own breaker. Where trucks or lots of people pass through, we suggest photocells on both sides and a warning light.
The gate can be integrated with vehicle barriers, card readers, an intercom or the site's access control system, so it only opens for the right people and every entry is logged.

Frequently asked questions
Why won't a regular opener work on my large gate?
It might move the gate at first, but it would be running at its limit and would overheat with frequent use. A heavy-duty opener is built for that weight and that number of cycles.
Do I need 220 V power?
It depends on the model and the size of the gate. During the visit we check what you have and tell you whether a new circuit is needed.
