Gate sensors are devices installed on automatic gates to detect obstacles or movement near the gate. They work by emitting infrared beams or using pressure-sensitive technology. If an obstacle is detected, the gate either stops or reverses its direction to prevent damage or injury. Gate sensors are crucial for maintaining safe operation and minimizing accidents.

An intercom system allows communication between the person at the gate and the property owner or tenant. These systems typically include a speaker, microphone, and camera, enabling two-way communication. Modern intercoms can be integrated with mobile apps or video surveillance systems for remote access control and enhanced security, allowing you to grant or deny entry without leaving your home or office.

Yes, automatic gates can be installed on sloped driveways, though certain considerations need to be made. For swing gates, the slope may require modifications to ensure the gates open smoothly without dragging. Sliding gates can be installed more easily on sloped surfaces, but the track may need to be adjusted. Professional installers can assess and provide solutions for sloped areas.

No, automatic gates generally don’t require a significant amount of power. Most gate openers use low-voltage systems, and they typically consume power only when opening or closing. For gates with solar power, they use solar energy to operate efficiently. Backup batteries are also commonly used to ensure continued operation during power outages, without requiring significant power consumption.
