Maintenance and Repairs
Gate motors are mounted outdoor in most cases and therefore exposed to all harsh weather conditions like rain, fog, sun and wind. The gate opener’s control boards and safety IR sensors are also quite popular places especially in winter months for all sorts of insects: ants, slugs and snails. See some examples of what can happen with your motor if no one keeps an eye on it on a regular basis.
Based on our experience and according to recommendations from the manufacturers, regular checks should be performed on all automated gates at least once a year. On some busy and heavy gates on commercial and industrial premises, the maintenance routine should be carried out every month (operating at 500+ openings a day). Generally, on most commercial gates with 20-50 openings a day, twice a year bi-annual services will keep the gate motors and accessories in good working condition and prevent any costly repairs.
At Gate Automation Ltd we have over a hundred clients who benefit from our Preventative Gate Maintenance Program. This scheduled service is provided to many commercial and industrial customers as well as residential. Service intervals depend on gate usage, working conditions, environment and other factors that we assess individually. If you have several automatic gates or other security solutions such as barriers, turnstiles or electric fencing, we can provide a good discount. If they are on the same premises we can service all your equipment at the same time.
Below are some of the checks and services that are included in our maintenance routine:
