Swing Gate Operators
Arm and roller drives for single or double leaf gates.
Every day of the year support for selection, commissioning, operation and service
What this system does
A configuration for the real operating conditions.
Swing gate automation needs the right geometry as much as the right motor. Hinges, opening arc, leaf length, wind area and ground profile all affect drive selection. TekRabbits plans synchronised operation for two leaves, access controls and safe reversing where an obstruction is detected.
TekRabbits reviews the site and recommends a system with the necessary controls, protection and manual procedures. Final capacities, options and interfaces are confirmed in the quotation for your installation.

Arm-type swing operator for mid-size gates
A larger arm-drive class for leaves up to about 350 kg and 4 m per leaf.
Ask about this configurationHeavy arm-type swing operator
For larger swing leaves up to about 500 kg and 5 m per leaf where post and hinge geometry permit.
Ask about this configurationRoller-type swing operator
A ground-running drive option for wider leaves, with site suitability checked against paving and drainage.
Ask about this configurationOperator options
The hinge, post and ground decide the drive.
Arm and roller operators solve different gate geometries. A site review checks how much force the leaf needs through its full arc and whether the driveway supports a ground-running system.
Specification guide
What we check before recommending a system.
The questions below shape capacity, installation effort, controls and safety. A short site survey or clear photographs and dimensions can resolve many of them before the quotation.
- Confirm leaf weight, leaf length and usable opening arc.
- Check hinge strength, post dimensions and driveway slope.
- Plan photocells, release access and pedestrian passage.
From gate geometry to handover
What makes a swing gate dependable.
Inspect leaves and hinges
Measure each leaf’s length and weight, post dimensions, hinge effort, slope and wind exposure.
Choose the operating method
Compare arm and roller drives, synchronisation for paired leaves and the required access trigger.
Verify safe movement
Set travel limits and confirm photocell response, leaf sequencing, pedestrian passage and manual release.
Maintain the entrance
Inspect fasteners, hinges, drive alignment and protection devices with a schedule matched to use.

Swing Gate Operators: common questions
Specific answers about configurations, site preparation, safety and support for swing gate operators.
Ask about your siteWhat configurations of swing gate operators are available?
The TekRabbits range covers Arm-type swing operator for lighter gates, Arm-type swing operator for mid-size gates, Heavy arm-type swing operator, Roller-type swing operator. We narrow the choice using the site conditions and confirm the exact capacity and options in the proposal.
How do Arm-type swing operator for lighter gates and Arm-type swing operator for mid-size gates differ?
Motorised arms for a single or paired gate leaf up to about 250 kg and 3 m per leaf, subject to geometry. A larger arm-drive class for leaves up to about 350 kg and 4 m per leaf. We compare the actual operating duty, installation geometry and controls before recommending one.
What measurements are needed before choosing swing gate operators?
Confirm leaf weight, leaf length and usable opening arc. Measurements let us check capacity and fit instead of guessing from a product name.
Which operating conditions affect the recommendation?
Check hinge strength, post dimensions and driveway slope. Tell us about peak use and any unusual environment so the equipment and controls fit daily operation.
What should be planned for safety and abnormal operation?
Plan photocells, release access and pedestrian passage. We agree the protective devices and manual procedure for the installed configuration before commissioning.
Can this system connect to other controls?
Remote controls, switches, RFID or other access systems can trigger compatible gate controllers. We confirm the interface and safety interlocks before quotation.
Can this be added to an existing site?
Often, but gate movement must be smooth first. We check hinges or track, rollers, posts, foundations and clearances before adding an operator.
What maintenance should the system receive?
Check gate travel, rollers or hinges, drive and rack, limit devices, safety photocells and manual release at an interval matched to daily cycles.
Does support every day of the year end after the first year?
No. “Every day of the year” describes when the TekRabbits support route is available, rather than a one-year after-sales term. On-site attendance, parts and response targets are set in the project agreement.
How do I request a recommendation for swing gate operators?
Use the Automation Services enquiry page. Share site location, dimensions, expected use, existing equipment and your preferred timeline. The selected product family is carried into the form.
Ready to specify swing gate operators?
Tell us the site type, dimensions, expected use and any existing equipment. We’ll help choose a configuration that fits.
