Motors for Every Style of Driveway Gate
Every gate moves differently. We inspect your driveway layout to fit the motor mechanism that delivers smooth, reliable operation every time.
Sliding Gate Motors
Most homes in Gauteng use sliding driveway gates that travel along a ground rail. We fit sliding motors sized to the exact weight of your gate so the motor pulls smoothly without burning out its internal gears.
Swing Gate Motors
Single or double leaf swing gates need linear piston arms or articulated motors mounted directly onto your brick pillars. We set the open and close angles so both gate leaves move quietly together.
Complex and Commercial Motors
Townhouse complexes, security estates, and business premises need motors built for constant movement. We install high capacity 24V systems that open hundreds of times every day without overheating.
How Gate Weight Dictates Motor Size
A motor that is too small strains every time it pulls the gate, draining the backup battery faster and wearing out the internal gearbox. We make sure your motor is properly sized for your gate weight.
| Gate Category | Weight Rating | Driveway Gate Examples | Recommended Motor Model | Quote & Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Domestic Gates | Up to 300kg | Small steel bar gates, pedestrian gates, or light wire mesh gates | Centurion D3 Smart or compact domestic motor | |
| Standard Residential Gates | 300kg to 500kg | Standard family driveway gates with steel frames, timber, or sheet cladding | Centurion D5 Smart or ET Drive 500 | |
| Heavy Residential & Complexes | 500kg to 1000kg+ | Solid steel gates, high security gates, townhouse complexes, and offices | Centurion D10 Smart or ET Drive 1000 |
Features Included with Every Installation
We look after the practical security details that keep your gate operating through power cuts and protected against theft.
Backup batteries for load shedding
You never want to be locked out of your property during a power outage. Every new gate motor comes with a standby battery that keeps your gate working when municipal power drops.
Anti-theft steel brackets and puck locks
Gate motor theft is common across Gauteng. We fit thick steel security cages and high grade puck padlocks around your motor to stop criminals from stealing the motor or its battery.
Infrared safety beams
Safety beams send an invisible light beam across the driveway. If a car, a child, or a family pet crosses while the gate is closing, the motor stops instantly and opens back up.
Mobile phone and remote setup
We supply and program all your handheld remotes on the day. Many modern motors also allow you to open the gate from your smartphone or check battery status from anywhere.
