Here are some things you need to think about to ensure that you get a gate motor Gauteng based, that's right for what your need. If you want your gate motor to be powered directly from the mains supply of the distribution board in your house then you would select AC power (alternating current). The alternative is DC (direct current) which relies on a "power store" such as a battery. Get an approximation of what your gate weighs before selecting a gate motor Gauteng based. Gates are actually much lighter than we think. If you can lift one side of your gate to about the height of your chin, chances are it doesn't weigh much more than 250kg.
