SELECTING THE RIGHT MOTOR
Things to consider when selecting a gate motor for your new Jackal manufactured gate:
- Is your gate larger than the manufacturers recommendations for length and weight?
- Is your driveway sloping?
- Will your gate motor be used more frequently than for “normal” residential use?
Please consider carefully, the motor type required for your needs, as the responsibility of the selected gate motor lies with the installer, as this is part of the site assessment and the overall needs of the property owner.
If you have any questions regarding the most appropriate gate automation for your next project, please contact us and provide all of the site details, as our supplier of gate automation has an extensive range available to suit any application.
