Sliding gate mechanisms

Sliding gate mechanisms convert a manual sliding gate into an electric one. . The gate should move smoothly manually, and there should be appropriate electrical provisions for connecting the motor.

You will also need a concrete base for securing the mechanism’s foundation, which should be installed by an authorized service team. Indicative drawings of correct gate mechanism base.

The metal hanger is the essential tool for connecting the mechanism to the gate.

The correct relationship between the hanger and the gear ensures the long-term sustainability of the mechanism. If the door sags, this relationship is disrupted and the motor does not function properly. The gap between the hanger and the gear should be as specified by the manufacturer.

The mechanism stops using mechanical limit switches placed on the hanger, positioned on both sides. These switches can also be magnetic and vary from model to model.

LOWEDOORS cooperates with many famous houses abroad, providing many solutions for gate mechanisms. The categories of mechanisms start from 400 kg and reach up to 5 tons, while their differentiation according to the desired frequency of use and speed is also important.
