Automated sliding gate with motor housing at a residential entrance

Service

Gate motors and automated gates

CapeCore installs and services sliding and swing gate motors so the entrance, the remote and the safety devices work as one system.

A gate motor is only as reliable as the gate it moves. CapeCore assesses the leaf or leafs, the track or hinges, power at the post, and how people and vehicles use the entrance. Sliding and swing motors are specified to the gate mass and duty cycle, not a one-size kit.

What a motor changes at the entrance

You stay in the vehicle. Auto-close and photocells shorten the time a gate stands open. An intercom can release the motor without walking to the street. Remotes and tags can be deleted when a tenant leaves. None of that helps if the wheels bind or the hinges have dropped — the leaf is serviced first.

Safety and backup power

Photocells, edges and loops stay in circuit when access control is added. Battery backup is sized for cycles during load-shedding, not as an afterthought. A labelled manual release remains on the install.

Work is based in Parow Industrial and covers Cape Town and the Western Cape. Call 021 755 1648 or request a quote.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you install gate motors in Cape Town?

Yes. CapeCore installs and services sliding and swing gate motors for homes, estates and commercial yards across Cape Town and the Western Cape.

Sliding or swing — which motor do I need?

That depends on space beside the opening, the leaf weight, wind load and how many cycles a day the gate will run. The leaf is checked before a motor is specified.

Are safety beams included?

Photocells, and other safety devices the gate needs, stay in the circuit. Access control is not a reason to bypass them.

How do I get a gate motor quote?

Request a quote or call 021 755 1648. Track, hinges, power at the post and daily traffic are assessed, then the motor is priced.
