Electric Farm Gate Repairs

A faulty farm gate can quickly become an inconvenience, especially when the entrance is used regularly throughout the day.

Electric Farm Gate Automation

Already have a farm gate? In many cases, we can automate your existing gate without the need for a full replacement. We install automation systems for timber and metal farm gates, allowing you to operate the gate via remote controls, GSM intercoms, keypads or smartphone access. This provides the convenience of an electric gate while retaining the appearance of your existing entrance.

Key Considerations When Choosing An Electric Farm Gate

Choosing the right electric farm gate isn’t just about the appearance of the gate itself. Factors such as the width of the entrance, ground levels, frequency of use, and the types of vehicles using the entrance can all influence the most suitable solution. For example, a busy farm entrance used by tractors, trailers and agricultural machinery may require a different automation system to a private rural driveway.

It’s also important to consider how the gate will be operated. Remote controls, GSM intercom systems, keypads and free-exit devices can all be incorporated depending on who needs access and how the entrance is used. The location of power supplies, exposure to weather conditions and the overall security requirements of the property should also be taken into account. By carefully assessing these factors, we can recommend an electric farm gate system that is practical, reliable and built to withstand the demands of rural life.
