Whether you’re an installer, specifier, or facility manager, understanding the right automation solution for an industrial swing gate is critical. This guide provides insights into why the DA6000 is the ideal choice, what sets it apart, and what to consider when specifying swing gate automation.
1. Why industrial swing gates require a purpose built operator
Not all gate automation is designed to withstand the challenges of industrial applications. Swing gates, in particular, require specialised automation solutions due to their operational dynamics and environmental exposure.
– High-duty cycle requirements: Industrial gates operate frequently and need motors designed for intensive use without overheating.
– Heavy gate structures: Swing gates in industrial environments are often larger, heavier, and subjected to significant load forces. A high-torque system is essential to maintain smooth operation.
– Wind resistance and site conditions: Swing gates are affected by wind loads and site conditions, requiring appropriate hinges, articulated arms, and motor selection based on the gates size and site conditions.
– Safety and compliance: With the swinging motion, these gates must be equipped with relevant safety accessories to prevent accidents.
The DA6000 is engineered specifically to meet these challenges, ensuring that industrial swing gates operate reliably and safely under demanding conditions.
