Description
Hidden underground automation for a pair of swing gates. The kit puts each 230V motor in a foundation box buried under the gate hinge, so the piers stay clear and the gates keep their clean lines. It is rated for leaves up to 3.5m and 350kg, or 600kg on a leaf up to 2m, with 300Nm of torque. The motor is rated IP67, with a fully resined cable gland and double seals, and the kit includes the foundation boxes, 110 degree levers, control unit, a pair of photocells and two remote controls. The price shown is for one kit.
Why choose it
Invisible. Only a flush cover and lever show at ground level.
Sealed. IP67, resined cable gland and double internal and external seals.
Strong drive. Steel and bronze reducer and monobloc steel levers without welds.
Manual release. Key release for opening the gate by hand in a power cut.
Where it is used
Driveway gates on period houses and new homes, and entrances where the piers must stay clear or are too narrow for an arm or ram.

230V or 24V?
This is the 230V version, rated for a 50% duty cycle. On gates over 3m long, or gates that open many times a day, a 24V underground kit is less likely to overheat: see the 24V kit.
Drainage matters
Each foundation box must drain freely: connect it to a soakaway or drain before the concrete is poured. Water left standing in the box can damage the motor.
Installation and safety
Powered gates must be installed by a competent installer, with the mains supply wired by a qualified electrician, and the finished gate should be risk assessed and force tested to BS EN 12453. The photocells in the kit are part of that safety system: fit them across the opening so the gate stops if anything is in its path.

Fitting
Dig out under each hinge, set the foundation box level in concrete with a drain, and fit the motor and lever; the gate's bottom pivot sits on the lever. Fit the photocells, mount the control unit and set the stops. The mains connection must be made by a qualified electrician.
Care
Keep the box drains clear and the covers free of grit. Check the stops every 6 months, test the photocells regularly and have the system serviced yearly.
Frequently asked questions

How big a gate will it move?
It is rated for leaves up to 3.5m and 350kg, or 600kg on a leaf up to 2m.
