Services / Gate Automation / Sliding Gate Motors
Sliding gates are the most popular automatic gate type across Adelaide's residential suburbs and commercial properties — they suit narrow driveways, sloped blocks, and sites where a swing gate's arc would obstruct traffic or parking. But a sliding gate system is only as good as its motor, track, and installation quality. BB Electrical Solutions specialises in sliding gate motor installation and replacement across Adelaide, ensuring every system is properly sized, correctly installed, and tuned to run smoothly and quietly for years. Motor sizing is critical and often gets it wrong by trades who dabble in gate automation. A motor that's undersized for your gate's weight will wear prematurely and become unreliable. We calculate the correct duty cycle and torque requirements for your specific gate before selecting a motor, taking into account gate weight, track length, gradient, and cycle frequency. We install rack and motor systems on new gates and can retrofit automation onto existing manually operated sliding gates where the structure is suitable. All our sliding gate motor installations include limit switch setting, force adjustment, obstacle detection calibration, and remote handset programming. We also install safety photo-beams across the gate path to prevent the gate closing on a vehicle or person. Integration with intercoms, keypads, and access control systems is handled as part of the installation.
