Underground electric gate motors have a hard life. They get soaked and covered in dirt and they have to work harder than other gate motors. This is because they're moving the gates from right under the hinge. That means that the principle of leverage is working against them.
So, underground gate motors usually need more maintenance than other gate motors.
If you have discrete underground gate motors operating your electric gates and you know they've not been serviced recently, give us a call.

Do your electric gates make unusual noises? Do they move erratically? Or do they stop opening and closing periodically?
As the days shorten and it's dark when we leave for work and when we come home, security is even more important than usual. Knowing that your electric gates can be closed while you're out and will open when you come home is great. But if they're not maintained, you can get problems.
What if you have to leave them open because there's a fault? The security you rely on is gone and your house is no longer protected.
However, you can avoid many electric gate breakdowns by ensuring they are regularly maintained.
An annual or bi-annual service is usually all that's needed to make sure your gates do what you want them to do.

Sometimes you can't repair an underground motor and it needs replacing. If these motors sit in water for any length of time, they will fail. Their foundation boxes need to have adequate drainage or rainwater builds up and submerges the motor. This one was replaced after the owner had problems with their electric gate operation. We tested it and found that it was beyond repair. Regular maintenance and inspection may have prevented this from happening but at least the customer now has their electric gates working again.
