We prefer to use the STAINLESS STEEL arm (worm driven) type swing gate opener system, configured with telescopic arms for robust strength, as swing gates can change in movement over time, from not servicing the gate hinges, post strength etc. Ideally a heavy duty unit is our preferred option in case of a gate malfunction.
Nothing worse than a broken swing gate arm, obviously steel arms are stonger than die cast arms. Maintainance on your gate opener is the owners responsibility, to ensure the life espectancy of the opener you have chosen...more
Steel driven units are normally used with or without electric gate locks, to ensure that no push force is applied to open the gate. As they are mounted on two brackets, one on the post, one on the gate, they are fixed in a rigid position, allowing them to pivot from both brackets. Ideal for restricted side room applications & most swing gates.
