Swing Gate Retrofit

Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Incorrect motor sizing or shallow posts on heavy clays leads to sag, binding and early motor failure; the right survey prevents repeat repairs.
Shallow posts on Ashingdon's heavy clays let gates sag, increasing motor strain and causing premature breakdowns.
Long or sloping farm driveways increase run time and expose motors to field spray and frost damage.
Older timber frames or warped hinges often hide compatibility issues that need structural reinforcement before automation.
Sealed motors resist field exposure and inland frost, extending service intervals and preventing water ingress failures.
Photo‑eyes and torque limits stop motion on contact, meeting safety expectations and protecting people and vehicles.
Who We Help
Ashingdon homeowners with long or sloping driveways needing motors and foundations that cope with heavy clay and frost.
Isolated homes and farm driveways requiring weatherproof motors, durable hinges and minimal maintenance at remote sites.
Estates and landlords wanting consistent one-click access across multiple entrances and clear service records for each gate.
