Automatic Gates
Our staff is well versed in the latest automatic gate technology and we frequently take continuing education seminars to stay ahead of our competition. Our estimators take pride in assessing the needs of every automatic gate call we get whether small or large. Various addons would include but are not limited to:
Infrared Eyes
This senses an obstruction and is an excellent safety feature for the young family with small children.
Exit Loops or Wands
A loop is cut across the drive and wands are buried on the sides of a drive. Both sense the approach of a vehicle and trigger the automatic gate to open so that someone can leave. These are perfect for someone with a long drive too far for a transmitter signal to reach to allow guests to leave. It also adds convenience for the homeowner as well.
Safety Loops
This is the follow through safety at apartment complexes. It triggers the automatic gate to reopen if it senses another car trying to follow through the gate. These features help keep lawsuits to a minimum.
Shadow Loops
This stops the automatic gate from closing if it senses something between the gateposts – such as a long bed trailer. This is a great feature if the automatic gate is close to a main road, but is not need if you have an infrared eye installed.
Knox Boxes – K2 Switches – Strobe Sensors
These are required for commercial and neighborhood automatic gates. These allows fire departments entrance in case of an emergency.
Timers
Allow automatic gates to open at a scheduled time and close at a scheduled time without the assistance of transmitter or other devices. This is great for places of businesses.
Automatic Gate Entry Systems
These systems have a range of bells & whistles. We have entry systems that:
- Allows searches for a particular name
- Cell phone gate access
- Camera surveillance in black & white or color
- Works as a toll tag system
- Full computer access
- Logs entry/exit times for security purposes
Automatic Gate Operators are as important – if not more important – than the construction of the gate itself. We can install your choice of electric or solar powered automatic gate operators.
We can install your choice of electric or solar powered automatic gate operators. The selection of these would depend on the weight of your gate and the location of where it’s going.
It is important to note that solar powered gates require at least 5 hours of direct sunlight a day to maintain the batter charge.
So, as eco-friendly as we try to be, sometimes it is not the best solution for the application.
