QUOTE(lui @ Jun 19 2013, 04:10 PM) Hi jimmylim85, if you respond to this thread before i install my auto gate system. I will choose DCMoto already, i am so headache on choosing one of them 2 weeks back. Stainless steel might look eye catching for lots of user, but it induce the most heat inside the tube. DCMoto and Casa Asia, uses cast aluminium alloy.A lot of installer here in KL still recommend arm type, and I try to survey around my taman and found no one is using DC or CASA type of system. The information you provided here are very useful, as you are a installer. A installer in KL here recommend wall mount system from OAE, is stainless steel made claim to be better than DC and CASA. Any review? QUOTE(Maknusia @ Jun 19 2013, 04:34 PM) It was my hubby's choice. and you are correct, the casing is plastic as in the picture. OAE, DCMoto, Casa Asia and many other arm-type motor uses pre-filled grease inside their gearbox. There is no oil applied as it will leaked eventually.![]() http://casa-asia.com/s320h.php our view was that, after sometime (the previous models installed at our relatives homes) the arm movement was not smooth, say after 5-10 years. with the system that dc-moto and casa has, its gear system with oil filled, hence should withstand longer. we might be wrong, but that was our understanding. Only sliding gate type either uses grease or else gearbox oil with gasket inside. |

QUOTE(~Curious~ @ Jun 20 2013, 01:01 AM) lol owh i tot its some kinda extra feature,actually is not useful when using lol..3 point hige shud be safer kua since the arm is attached to two different panels..maybe more effort needed to pry the gate open..wad r bearing hinges?unigate advertise they got 24 bearings on the gate itself,i dont really understand it now that i think of it Even they have the whole pillar attach with metal, it only adds more weight and stress to your cement/brick pillar. Safest is concrete pillar but is costly.juz now u mentioned of trackless might sink,but unigate got like some tiang in d pillar ![]() so i think shud be able to bear weight kua...another problem with tracks is the wheels tend to jump oout wor... 24 bearing is meaning the whole gate system requirement. Ordinary swing fold gate system have 16 bearings. Btw more than that bearings only bring more cost to replace them. The reasons why the wheels tend to jump out of your track! - bad workmanship on the track, didn't get a well-balanced track mounted on the floor. - bad workmanship on cement flooring, sinking! - having small particle like small tiny rocks stuck at your track, causing the wheel to jump out. |

Opening of DCMoto 925W. Look at the gap, is as close as UniGate does. BTW i've mention a few times, UniGate is using DCMoto 905 motor system. Is 100% the truth. UniGate just manufacture the iron gate system where else DCMoto supplies the motor system. The arm length metal is been custom made to adapt UniGate gate design and requirement. |

What limits the opening angle if your front pillar have sitting curb that obstruct the opening angle. If I have the chance, I'll snap shot the photo the meaning of having wide open angle. |

You're way better off settle with OAE 333 with NX12 circuit board if you want to be on budget and arm-type. |

Everything had to refer back to UniGate and prepare to pay premium service price. Just like BTE LEGATE system. Yearly fee rm 150. And if you missed out two years maintain-ace and on third year you wanted their service. You have to pay previous two years default fee and third year in order to obtain their service. Repair and parts is another fee being charged. |

I have a question, one of my pillar does not wide enough to screw the entire bracket for the MAG arm. The Installer only manage to screw the 2 wall plug on the pillar, and he screw an additional metal on the floor then weld the metal with the arm bracket to support the arm. After the install left, i found everytime i open or close my gate, the whole arm bracket and the additional metal screwed on the floor is shaking. Is it normal? I worry one day the whole arm will detach from the pillar, and it's happening on the right gate which I use it to open single side very frequent... Please help to give some comment.

Unigate is able to sell their gates at a huge premium (roughly double the price of an equivalent gate) as they are able to package and market the gate with their unique selling point of being trackless. Nevertheless it's really just a gimmick and as it does not provide any security or reliability benefits.
If you're looking at DCMOTO/CASA-ASIA.. Try to get the installer to demo both unit side-by-side and you can see & hear the difference very clearly. MAG is a fairly basic gate system, however the company has been around for a while and they are easily accessible in Pudu. i.e. you should not have trouble getting support from them. However I find that even if you go to their head office they will no sell you parts directly as they will refer you back to your regional installer. If your bracket is installed securely it should not shake. This post has been edited by weitatt: Jun 20 2013, 11:32 AM |
