If you are looking to install an automated gate system then one of your first considerations should be be safety. Electric gates are often drivedn by powerful gate motors that work under resistance and should always have some form of system to cut out the motor in the event of an emergency.
If a risk assessment has been carried out prior to the gate installation, gate crush will always be a consideration. The gate safety edges that are available at GateMotors.co.uk can be used on gates of various sizes and in a sliding or swing opening mode.
