Centurion’s Vantage is a remarkably strong, beautifully designed set of linear swing gate operators for gates up to 4m wide, per leaf. The Vantage swing gate motor features a robust aluminium construction with a 304-grade stainless steel worm shaft , ensuring ultimate reliability.
The R6 is a gate motor of obvious distinction that you’ll be proud to own. It offers stalwart security, convenience and reliability.
It’s how hard a motor can work before it needs a break. Some manufacturers give it as a number of operations a day, where one operation is one open and one close. ET Nice gives it as a percentage of each hour: a 25% motor can run for up to 15 minutes in every hour and stands idle for the rest, which lets the motor cool and the battery recharge. A 98% motor runs straight off mains power, with the battery as back-up, so it can work almost nonstop. That suits busy estates and complexes.
These figures are rated for a gate at the motor’s maximum weight, so a lighter gate will do better.
Lockfront Automation installs, repairs and maintains the Centurion range of automatic gate openers in South Africa. Centurion Gate Motors is a reliable brand that includes industrial and commercial gate motors with advanced automation features.
The most significant feature of this range is it’s SMART capabilities. Although the system comes equipped with remote controls like other electric gate motors, you can configure remote controls and even operate the gate from your smartphone too. .
Power failure protection is another feature that South Africans will appreciate. All the gate motors in the range are installed with an integrated battery backup system that remains fully charged until an outage occurs. In the event of a power failure your gate will continue to operate normally, without compromising your property or safety.
Swing Gate Openers
Centurion gate motors can also be fitted if you have a gate that swings in or outwards during opening. Like other Centurion motors, all swing motors have smart features such as code hopping, remote control key and delete, battery backup and silent alarm features. With Lockfront, every sliding or swing gate has a compatible automation solution that is reliable and easy to customise and use. Give us a call today to arrange for a consultation Designed with safety in mind, this motor boasts built-in anti-crushing circuitry, so the door will stop and reverse if any obstructions are detected.
Sliding Gate Motors
We recommend sliding gate motors when the space on either side of the gate is limited, and the gate subs parallel to the fence or wall. Our sliding gate motors come standard with battery backup and lockable manual override, which means you will never be stuck inside your property when a failure occurs. After a consultation with our expert automation technicians we will help you choose the sliding right motor for your needs, whether it’s a light duty domestic motor or an initial gate motor that can handle gates of up to two tons.
