An electric driveway gate – how does it work?
Our wrought iron driveway gates from ELEO Express can easily be retrofitted with an electric opener. Should you wish, we would be happy to put you in touch with an installation company that can independently and responsibly install the gate, including the electric opener.
An electric opener is, so to speak, the convenient way to open your double-leaf driveway gate from your car.
With a double-leaf metal gate, the leaves are guided by hinges. The necessary range of motion is relatively large – a double-leaf gate that is electrically operated typically requires a radius of 90 to 130 degrees. Furthermore, a 230-volt power source in the immediate vicinity of the driveway gate is a basic requirement for the gate to open smoothly and reliably. An installer then only needs to install the hinges or the spindle drive on the gate posts.
Modern gate openers even offer additional features. From soft start and stop functions and obstacle detection to a timed approach function – the possibilities for individual customization are particularly extensive these days.
