What matters most
Begin with the physical gate and site: movement type, clear opening, gate length and weight, traffic frequency, power, access-control needs and required safety devices. Then compare operators whose documented specifications match those conditions.
Selection checklist
- Confirm slide versus swing operation.
- Measure and document gate length and weight.
- Identify residential, light-commercial or commercial traffic.
- Review manual-release behavior for outages.
- Plan compatible monitored safety devices and access controls.
- Use the manufacturer’s current installation manual and local requirements.
