Our gates can be automated in different ways to provide the right access control option to suit you. Gates can be operated from underground operators or through hydraulic rams. This gives you the choice of how you want your new automated gate to open at your home or business. Whether you are a residential or commercial customer we will have the right automation function to suit your needs, providing smooth and safe operation. Gates can be maintained easily and will provide peace of mind when installed by a qualified engineer.
An underground operator is situated at ground level by each gatepost and is ideal for both residential and commercial premises. Our underground operator features a magnetic locking system, a maximum opening of 180 degrees, and is suitable for 1,800 operations a day. What's more, our underground operators are fully CE accredited, conforming to the Machinery Directive 2006/46/EC. Hydraulic ram operators are available for electric gates and are ideal if you are purchasing gates up to seven metres. They are attached to the gate for applications that require high performance. Jacksons offer custom designed hydraulic ram operators to individual site requirements.
