It is divided into two types: hydraulic type and electromechanical type. They are basically imported products from Europe and are the most widely used sliding gate motor gate openers. This type of sliding gate motor supports a maximum gate width of 4 meters, a maximum gate weight of 800 kg, and a maximum opening angle of 180 degrees.

(3) Push rod type: Push rod type sliding gate motor are also divided into hydraulic type and electromechanical type. The installation method is wall-mounted and supports a maximum opening angle of 105 degrees. Different classifications have different corresponding usage conditions. Hydraulic type is suitable for gates with high opening frequency and single gate width within 7 meters, while electromechanical type is suitable for gates with frequent and moderate opening and single door width within 5 meters.

(4) Walking wheel style: Installed at the bottom of the middle of the gate, running against the ground. The maximum opening angle depends on the installation position of the stopper, which is suitable for gates with moderate opening frequency. This type of gate opener is more suitable for courtyard gates because of its low cost.

For different applications, the type of gate opener is also different. For places with a large flow of people and large gate openings, such as airports, shopping malls, etc., it is recommended to choose branded products with guaranteed quality to avoid gate machine failures during peak traffic. If the flow of people is small but the gate opening is more demanding, you can choose a gate machine that can withstand heavier weight. This can ensure that the gate machine will not run too slowly. It is best that the gate machine has a half-open function to avoid indoor heating. With the loss of air-conditioning. If it is a place where the flow of people is relatively small and the door size is average, such as an office and other places, the gate machine at the ordinary price is sufficient, but the product must have good after-sales service.
