Electrically automated gates
ensure that your gates are kept closed when you want them to be and offer
additional security and functional benefits.
Automating a new or existing gate can be less
expensive than you think. Why struggle with heavy gates in the wind and rain
when you could simply press a transmitter button from the comfort of your
car? Our experienced team can solve the problem by fully automating your
gates so that you never need to struggle again. We offer a free site
estimate to determine your requirements and needs. We then set about
offering you the best automation kit that meets your needs. Our team aim to
offer the right equipment for the job rather than trying to sell you
products that aren’t necessary or maybe not up to specification. We have a
wealth of experience with over 20 years in the gate industry - we can offer
equipment from a variety of manufacturers to ensure we offer you the right
products at the right price. From simple remote controls to induction loops
or high security access control automation, 1st Choice Gates can offer a
range of automation products and accessories to suit your needs.
Sliding gate
systems
One of the most stylish and most secure automated
systems. Sliding or Cantilever gates are ideal for sloping driveways or
where space is restricted on entrances and driveways. Ground track, or
Cantilever gear, is usually concreted into the ground and the sliding gate
runs along the track powered by a neat electric slider motor that is
positioned to one side. Very neat installation which offers a high degree of
security because the gate will not open in if rammed or pushed – it can only
open sideways, and when the motor is not engaged the gate is locked in
position. Usually operated by hand key fob transmitters as standard, but
with the option for using induction loops for automatic entry or exit,
intercom entry systems, simple key pads and a whole host of proximity
readers
Ram actuators
The quickest and simplest method of automation. Installed with
minimum fuss, these auto mated
operators are excellent value for money and come in a range of capabilities
and strengths from small electro-mechanicals for the home to heavy duty
hydraulic motors for industrial and heavy usage gates systems. The motors
are fixed to the back of the gates and simply push and pull the gates open
and closed. Usually operated by hand key fob transmitters as standard, but
with the option for using induction loops for automatic entry or exit,
intercom entry systems, simple key pads and a whole host of proximity
readers.

 Articulated
arm operators
A simple installation for automating existing gate
installations where the gates are hung between large brick piers or
posts. The articulated motor fits to the back of the pier or post,
and the articulated arm fixes to the back of the gate in a similar
way to standard ram actuators. Usually operated by hand key fob
transmitters as standard, but with the option for using induction
loops for automatic entry or exit, intercom entry systems, simple
key pads and a whole host of proximity readers.

 Automated
underground operators
The least obtrusive gate automation for neat end results.
Underground motors are hidden neatly underground, out of sight and
with very quiet operation. Available with various capabilities and
strengths from small electro-mechanicals for the home to heavy duty
hydraulic motors for industrial and heavy usage gates systems. Ideal
for new gate installations as the motor lever arm acts as the bottom
hinge. These motors can open right the way round to 180°. Usually
operated by hand key fob transmitters as standard, but with the
option for using induction loops for automatic entry or exit,
intercom entry systems, simple key pads and a whole host of
proximity readers.
Keeping automation safe?
Besides operating a professional health and safety
policy during installation, we take into consideration the long term
day to day life of any automated gates. All of our automated gate
installations are designed to comply with new European regulations
for safety and the CE Machinery Directive to provide a system that
is useful and functional as well as safe. An automated gate is in
effect an automated machine, and as a result the installer and
subsequent end users need to be aware of how the system operates. We
can help you take every safety precaution with installation of
safety sensors; photo cells that prevent the gate closing or opening
onto an obstruction, safe edge closing sensors that stop the gate on
contact with an obstruction or induction loops in the ground for
vehicles, where a magnet sensor detects a vehicle in the way of the
gate opening area.
At 1st Choice we only install the highest quality equipment from
leading manufacturers including Bernal, Motorline, Genius, Casali,
Powerdoor, BFT, Came, FAAC, DEA, SEAV and Gibidi.
In addition to the primary automation system our installations can
also include audio and video intercom systems, digital key pad
entry, remote controllers, induction loops, timers, spare parts,
repairs and servicing plus full
Homelink wireless compatibility.
