Swing Gate Opener Types

The operation of a swing gate opener is that it swings a gate on a hinge either inward or outward. There are 3 types of swinging automatic gate openers:

Actuator – This type of opener works by using an actuator type of arm. This is attached to the gate and to the post and uses a worm drive type of piston that pushes the gate open and pulls the gate closed.

Pad-Mounted – this type of opener uses an articulating arm to push the gate open and pull the gate closed. They handle obstructions and windy days better than an actuator type of gate opener.

Underground – This style of automatic opener works like a pad mount style of operator.  It uses an articulating arm to push the gate open and pull the gate closed. The biggest difference being this type of opener is mounted underground.

One item to consider is how much traffic your gates will have, how often they will open and close each day. Installing a heavy-duty opener can end up costing less in the long run due to the swing gate operator having less breakdowns and maintenance issues.
