Helpful Hints on Shopping for Gate Opener for Swing Gates

As the name implies, swing gates open like how the door to your bedroom or bathroom might. They can either swing inward or outward. Because they are usually made from steel and other similar materials, they can sometimes be heavy and quite a challenge to open or close. For this reason, it is advisable that you install an automatic gate opener. With this device, opening and closing a swing gate is always a quick and a hassle-free affair.

These days, there are a wide range of automatic gate openers / gate operators you can choose from. They include those manufactured by ECA Electronic Engineering. We offer a variety of gate openers in Melbourne that are designed not only for a swing gate, but other types of gates as well. Let's take a look of the openers made by ECA for swing gates.

First on the list is the SG-200. This swing gate operator has 1.8m linear actuators. Then, there's also the SG-300, which features "folding arms" for gates measuring two metres long. The SG-560, on the other hand, has 2.5m linear actuators. All of which motors can be powered by 240V AC and 12V DC electricity, as well as solar power. The SR-5000, meanwhile, is a top of the range underground gate operator designed for gates weighing 300 kilograms. It is available only for 240V AC motors.

But no matter which type of automated opener you choose for your swing gate, make sure that you conduct some prior research. Determine which operator type is suitable for your specific gate type. After all, you certainly don't want to be saddled with a gate operator that cannot open and close your gate. That would be a huge waste of time and money.

When you have finally chosen which gate opener is right for you, be sure to enlist the services of a trustworthy and reliable installation company. Never do the installation on your own. Instead, you should leave this important task in the hands of experts to ensure that the opener will be set up properly. Otherwise, you might bungle the installation process and damage the opener or the gate or maybe even both.
