Description
A 230V rack drive operator for sliding gates up to 800kg. The motor is irreversible, so it locks the gate when it stops, and its digital control is prewired and programmed from an onboard display or a smart device app. In the box you get the motor, two remote controls, a pair of photocells, a receiver card and the manual release key, so you can commission the gate as soon as the leaf is hung and the rack is on. It suits commercial and light industrial sliding gates that are too heavy for a 400kg kit but do not need a full heavy duty industrial drive. Gear rack is not part of the kit. The price shown is for the complete kit.
Why this kit works
Programmed from the display or a phone. Set the gate up from the onboard display, or use the smart device app if that is quicker on the job.
A wide spread of safety inputs. Encoders, speed sensors and amperometric current sensing watch the gate through its travel, and there are inputs for mechanical or resistive safety edges where the risk assessment calls for them.
Straightforward to set up. Magnetic limit switches and an adjustable motor height make the set-up on site straightforward for a gate up to 800kg.
Where it is used
Commercial yards, warehouses, schools, car parks and factory entrances with a single sliding leaf up to 800kg on a level track. On gates over 3m long that cycle many times a day, look at the 24V option described below.

Choosing the right kit
Choose this kit when the gate is over the 400kg limit of a lighter drive and the opening is moderate. The difference between 230V and 24V matters on a long gate: the longer the travel, the longer the motor runs on each cycle, so read the note below.
This kit is 230V. On any gate over 3m long the guidance is to choose a 24V kit, because the work cycle time is more than double that of a 230V kit and a 24V kit runs less risk of the motor overheating on a long travel or on a gate that is constantly opening and closing.

Fitting and care
Bolt the operator to a level concrete pad clear of the gate path and fix the gear rack along the gate, setting the motor height so the gate's weight does not rest on the pinion. Set the limits, run the learning cycle and test every safety device. Mains connection should be made by a qualified electrician, and a powered gate must be commissioned by a competent person with a risk assessment for the site.
Check the rack fixings, pinion mesh and safety inputs at each service, and lock the manual release after any use.
Frequently asked questions
Is gear rack included?
No. The kit covers the motor, control, two remotes, photocells, receiver card and release key. Buy gear rack separately in 1m lengths to suit the gate travel.
Can it be set from a phone?
The control is programmable through a smart device app or from the display on the unit, so you can use whichever suits the job.
Is it suitable for a very long gate?
For gates over 3m long a 24V kit is the recommendation, because 230V drives have a much longer work cycle on a long gate. If your gate is long and cycles often, call us before you order.
Does it lock the gate?
Yes, the operator is irreversible and holds the gate when it stops. Use the manual release key to free the gate in a power cut and lock it again afterwards.
