There are two systems available for the automation of swing gates, above ground and underground systems.
Aboveground systems
Ram operators are normally installed centrally on the inside of your gate. These are an ideal retrofit to existing gates and are a more cost-effective solution.
Underground systems
By far the least obtrusive solution, the motors of these systems are installed below the ground. These systems require additional groundwork, but once complete are a very discreet method of automation. Underground motors have a superior robust design, giving the most reliable product for intensive use sites.
