As the name suggests, swing gate openers are designed to automate swing gates, providing convenience and security. There are three primary types of swing gate openers, each offering unique advantages depending on your specific needs:
2. Arm-Type Openers: Mounted directly on the gate, the arm-type opener moves with the gate as it swings open and closed. It features a rear bracket attached to the gate’s post and a front bracket on the gate itself, allowing the drive to leverage between the two. This category includes:
3. Underground Gate Openers: For a seamless and aesthetically pleasing option, underground gate openers are installed below ground level. Though more complex to install, they offer a sleek, unobtrusive appearance that blends perfectly with your landscape.
No matter which type of swing gate opener you choose, Fantasy Fencing is here to help you make the best decision for your property.
Slide gate openers are specifically designed for sliding gates and operate via a chain drive mechanism. The setup involves a chain attached to brackets on both the front and back of the gate, with the operator moving the chain on a sprocket to slide the gate open or closed. There are two main types of slide gate openers:
1. AC Motor Openers: Renowned for their power and durability, AC motors are available in various horsepower options, from 1/2 hp to 2 hp or more, and can operate on different voltages, including three-phase systems. They are the traditional choice for heavy-duty applications.
2. DC Motor Openers: The newer technology in gate automation, DC motors are more energy-efficient and can be powered by solar panels. They offer flexibility and are ideal for eco-conscious property owners.
