What affects the cost of automatic gates?
Electric gate prices vary because every entrance is different. Rapid can explain the cost drivers before quoting: the gate type, fabrication, automation, access controls, power, safety devices, site works, and ongoing service needs.
Price drivers
The same opening width can have very different installed costs
Automation and access control
Motors, remotes, keypads, intercoms, GSM access, safety beams, loop detectors, battery backup, and solar power all change the final scope.
Site works and installation
Posts, footings, trenching, power, drainage, slope, track condition, civil works, and existing fence tie-ins can materially affect the installed cost.
Use case and duty cycle
A private driveway, strata entry, school, warehouse, or industrial site may require different hardware, safety devices, and maintenance planning.
