Last time legate is good but nw i think their quality drop already. I think their production manager changed already. U have to pay the maintaince service fee every year to maintain the warranty. Using stainless steel solid pipe to make rail is a stupit action. Most important is the foundation of the rail. Actually their technical point r outdated already. Nw there are alot autogate with better features. Im personally doing r&d on smart autogate sytem. However not going to launch so fast.

Added on July 5, 2011, 8:21 amThis is base on what type of stainless steel they r using. Normally 304 wont rust. For rail for the gate. I can recommend to use schedule 40s 3/4inch pipe( actually is 1 inch). It is ss304 and sirim approved. Normally it is used to transfer acid or chemical liquid.

For swing gate, i recommand to use arm type motor. Dont use dc motor gfm905 similar motor as it is not suitable for swing gate. I can recommand u maxstone sw720. Taiwan imported motor. I have compared to oae a333. The gearbox , motor and structure r alot better than local arm. The price also quite cheap. May i know ur location?

Suitable for folding but also not for big folding gate. Normally recommanded below 16ft. I have tried on 26ft folding. Result is crack crack sound while going to stop. I still have the sample video but not with me nw. It look great but sound not great. Confirm gear broken if installed

Dc moto use gear to lock the gate been open. If u use abit strenght to pull the gate, it will crack the gear. For arm type, it use screw type concerpt to lcok the gate. Can u imaging how r u going to pull out bolt and nut. If u use strenght to pull the gate, normally motor wont spoil but the wall plug will been pull out or the welding point broken.

Depend on the condition. Repairing autogate might cost alot. Depend which part to change. Normally wil cost few hundred. If you have budget, just get a new set. It is worth than repair the old 1. Repaired product alsp cannot gurantee how long can it last again rite?

Sample video of sw720 i installed before.
