Hi all, would like to get some advice from sifu here
1. Aluminum and Stainless steel, which is more durable ( Less maintenance needed)
2. Aluminum and Stainless steel, which is more suitable for trackless?
3. what are the advantages and disadvantages of using trackless system?
4. I was quoted 9k+ for a 15ft * 6ft Full aluminum trackless system with DC moto, is that reasonable? Petaling Jaya area
5. what are the advantages of using DC moto over other brands? Reason of this is because, choosing to use DC moto, top up is needed.
Thanks in advance
1. I think both is durable. Less maintenance i think both also similar.
2. Trackless means your gate cant be too long or heavy, i suggest go with Aluminium, its lighter. Stainless steel maybe if the frame and then inside is aluminium should be okay, full s/steel i think better not trackless, unless their hinges are top grade and 100% quality one.
3. I dont find any disadvantages to it, just that there will be a 3-4in gap at the bottom of the gate. Advantages is plenty, one of the main reasons is you wont get water retention at the base of the track (compared to tracked gate)
4. Hmm, if include DC moto how much? I have used DC moto for many years for swing gate, and i assure you its a trusted brand, only issue is its prone to lightning, and i have one place the board shorted about twice. but then its all okay now. xD
5. DC Moto is local brand, I have used it for quite some time now and in many houses, so far all is good and no complaints. Only for battery as sometimes their battery dies within 1 year. Or after a year. Not sure why that happens though.
