Automate an existing gate
Add motors, controls, safety devices, and access methods to a manual swing or sliding gate if the gate structure is suitable.
Gate automation Sydney
Automate, repair, or upgrade your electric gate system
Rapid supplies, installs, repairs, and upgrades gate automation for swing gates, sliding gates, strata entries, schools, warehouses, and commercial sites. We assess the gate condition, traffic volume, motor requirements, safety devices, and access controls before recommending a system.
Automation paths
New gate, existing gate, or failing motor?
Gate automation is more than choosing a motor. The right setup depends on the gate condition, traffic volume, access method, and safety requirements.
Replace gate motors and controls
Upgrade tired motors, unreliable remotes, failing control boards, damaged sensors, or outdated access control equipment.
Specify automation for a new gate
Match the motor, duty cycle, safety devices, and access controls to a new sliding, swing, telescopic, or cantilever gate.
What we check first
Reliable automation starts with the gate and the site
Automating a gate that is poorly aligned, too heavy for the motor, or missing safety devices can create more problems than it solves. Rapid checks the full system before quoting.
Gate condition
Hinges, wheels, tracks, posts, alignment, and gate weight need to be suitable before a gate is automated.
Duty cycle
A home driveway, strata entry, school gate, and industrial site need different motors and control gear.
Safety devices
Photo beams, safety edges, loop detectors, warning lights, and traffic lights help protect vehicles and pedestrians.
Access method
Remotes, keypads, intercoms, RFID, mobile access, and licence plate recognition can all change the automation design.
Motors, controls, and integrations
Match the automation to the gate type and access plan
Sliding gate motors
For track, telescopic, and cantilever sliding gates across residential, strata, commercial, and industrial sites.
Swing gate motors
For single, double, articulated, linear, in-ground, and bi-fold swing gate systems.
Heavy-duty automation
For high-use sites, larger gates, industrial entries, schools, warehouses, and heavy vehicle access points.
Access control integration
For keypads, intercoms, card readers, RFID, LPR, remotes, GSM access, and user management.
