In a gate motor you are looking for reliability, sturdiness, strength and battery backup (very important for safety, blackouts and if there is restricted access to the property). Our preferred supplier is Centurion. With locally made products (for SA conditions) and easy access to spare parts, it is the obvious choice. Built-in lightning and surge protection also means that an easy repair does not become an expensive replacement. Garage door motors are similar to gate motors with regard to strength, battery backup etc. Please enquire about your specific application – sectional, tip up or roll up.
