Metal Swing Gate Motors for Hinged Gates
Turn your hinged metal gate into an automatic gate that can be opened and closed remotely, using arm motors chosen based on the gate's weight, leaf length, and usage nature.
GGS offers hinged gate motors with power suited to different sizes and weights, along with installation, calibration, and maintenance services across Saudi Arabia.
Automatic Operation for Hinged Metal Gates
A swing gate motor is a system used to move metal gates that open inward or outward around side hinges.
The motor arms are mounted on the gate leaves and the mounting posts, then programmed to control opening and closing using a remote or the project's approved control means.
A single motor can be used for a single-leaf gate, or two motors for a double-leaf gate, per the gate's design and operating requirements.
GGS's Swing Gate Motor Specifications
The motors allow controlling the gate's opening and closing remotely using a remote control.
Multiple options are available, determined by each leaf's weight and length and the daily usage rate.
The suitable system can be chosen for gates of different sizes after studying the entrance dimensions and available opening angle.
The motors are mounted on the metal gate and support posts in a way suited to the motion direction and leaf design.
Adding control means and safety accessories can be studied based on the motor type, site requirements, and technical compatibility between components.
Final specifications depend on the leaves' weight, each leaf's length, the hinges' condition, the opening angle, and the usage rate.
Where Are Hinged Gate Motors Used?
Swing gate motors suit entrances that use hinged metal gates, including:
There must be enough space in front of or behind the gate to allow the leaves to move without obstruction.
How Do We Choose the Right Swing Gate Motor?
Each leaf's weight must be determined independently, not just relying on the gate's total weight.
The leaf's length affects the load on the motor, so it's used with the weight to determine the suitable power.
The system's components differ between a single-leaf gate and a double-leaf gate.
It must be determined whether the gate opens inward or outward, and the available space and required opening angle measured.
Requirements for a low-use home gate differ from a facility entrance operating frequently throughout the day.
The posts' stability, the hinges' soundness, and ease of moving the leaves must be confirmed before installing the motors.
Solid metal gates need the leaf's surface area and wind impact studied when choosing the motor and mounting method.
Can a Motor Be Installed on an Existing Gate?
Arm motors can be installed on many existing metal gates, provided their condition is inspected and their suitability for automatic operation confirmed. The site visit covers:
If the gate moves with difficulty or suffers from sagging or friction, the mechanical issue must be addressed before installing the motor.
Advantages of Automatic Operation for Hinged Gates
The gate can be opened and closed remotely without needing to move the leaves manually.
Many existing hinged gates can be converted to automatic operation after confirming their soundness.
The system allows choosing the control means suited to the users and the site's nature.
The system can be prepared per the gate's number of leaves and their open/close sequence.
Adding sensors, warning devices, or other control systems can be studied based on the chosen motor's capabilities and project requirements.
The Difference Between a Swing Gate Motor & a Sliding Gate Motor
- Made for hinged metal gates.
- Moves the leaves inward or outward.
- Needs space for the leaves' motion.
- Chosen based on each leaf's weight and length.
- Can be used for a single- or double-leaf gate.
- Made for gates that move horizontally.
- Needs side space to receive the gate when opening.
- Suits sliding gates and heavy industrial gates.
- Chosen based on total weight, length, and operating rate.
The choice depends on the gate's design and the entrance space, not on motor power alone.
Stages of Installing a Swing Gate Motor
The leaves' dimensions, weight, hinge and post condition, and opening space are inspected.
The motor is chosen based on the number of leaves, weight, length, usage rate, and the site's nature.
The motor mounting points, electrical wiring, and control/safety accessory locations are prepared.
The arms are mounted and the motion limits and the leaves' open/close sequence are calibrated.
The gate's motion, remote, operating commands, and safety accessories are tested before handover.
