Maintenance

Automatic gates,  barrier systems and electric fences are generally exposed to all weather conditions and varying levels of use and abuse. As with all moving equipment a maintenance program will ensure the longest possible life of the equipment.

All automation systems are highly stressed in normal use and are expensive to install. For systems using hydraulics the simplest analogy is to compare it with a car braking system. Both use fluids that are hydroscopic (absorb moisture), require bleeding and ‘O’ ring changes to maintain optimum performance and to extend the life of the internal components.

Our electric security fence systems are manufactured and installed in accordance with the highest possible international standards. The technology is inherently reliable, tolerating a wide variety of environmental conditions without compromising its unique ability to deter and detect intruders. They should deliver years of trouble free service.
In spite of using materials with exceptional UV resistance and the beneficial effect of in-built features such as Dynamic Voltage Monitoring, electric security fences will gradually deteriorate over time if totally neglected. Corrosion, abrasion, weed growth, climatic extremes and insect, animal or human impact, all combine to progressively reduce performance and therefore the effectiveness of the security system.

To maintain the effectiveness of an electric security fence, regular service and maintenance is required.
The frequency and extent of the servicing is very much dependent on local conditions and the security risk.

Gate Automation Ltd provides full servicing facilities which can include on-site dismantling for rectification and fault finding, together with off-site service facilities where required for equipment testing.

Preventative maintenance provides the benefits of:

- Continued trouble free operation and peace of mind;

- Extended life of the equipment;

- Continual security and convenience;
