Sliding Gate Systems in Kenya – The process
In contrast to swing gate automation, a sliding gate system is usually a bit different. To do install a perfect sliding gate, our process is as follows;
- We take the weight of the gate into considetation. Because the gate is being pushed by a motor, there is need to know the total weight of the gate and thus the load on the motors.
- How many times in a day will the gate be opened and closed. Motors have rating which limit how many times they can be opened in a day. For instance, a residential sliding gate in Kenya would be opened say less than five times in the morning hours and same times in the evening. However, a sliding gate installed say in a commercial setup could be opened and closed up to 500 times in a day. With this in mind, we have various sliding gate solutions that will work perfectly for your sliding gate.
- We also check how smooth the opening and closing of the sliding gate before automation. An automatic sliding gate will not solve mechanical problems that have been existing. In this case, our solution will first include perfecting the opening and closing of the sliding gate. This would include changing of the sliding wheels, guider rollers of sliding gate rail and tracks.
- Solar power on a electic sliding gate in Kenya? Yes, renewable energy is taking shape in Kenya and home automation is not left behind. A sliding gate can be automated to use solar power as the main source or as back in case of power blackout.
