Motors & Controls
We match the motor to the leaf size and daily use, then commission the control board, photocells and remotes so the gate is ready to use the day it is fitted.

Electric Aluminium Gates for Modern Driveways
Electric gates from AlumaGates combine a made-to-measure aluminium leaf with quiet, reliable motors. Because aluminium is light and will not rust, the motor works against far less weight than steel or timber — which means smoother operation and a longer service life on a busy driveway.
- Electric swing and sliding gates built to your exact opening
- Quiet 24V motors with soft start and soft stop
- Keypad, intercom, remote and vehicle-loop entry options
- Powder coated in any RAL or wood-effect finish

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between electric gates and automatic gates?
They describe the same thing from different angles: an electric gate is powered by a mains motor, and that motor is what makes the gate automatic. We supply both terms as one product — an aluminium gate with a motor and controls.
Do electric gates need a power supply at the gate?
Yes, a fused mains supply is run to the gate posts. Your electrician can prepare it before installation, or we can advise on exactly what is needed during the survey.
How long do electric gates last?
Aluminium does not rust and the powder coat holds its finish for many years, so the gate itself typically outlasts the motor. A yearly check of hinges, photocells and battery back-up keeps the system reliable.
Can I get a matching pedestrian gate and fencing?
Yes. Every collection can be produced as a matching pedestrian gate, fence panel and railing so the whole boundary shares one design and colour.
