Swing Gate Motors 101
Swing gate motors are a popular choice for residential and light commercial properties where space allows the gate to open inward or outward. Unlike sliding gates, swing gates offer a clean, traditional appearance but require careful consideration of gate size, weight, and opening angle. This guide will help you choose the right swing gate motor based on your gate type, usage, and power requirements.
At Tigerlink, our range of swing gate motors is compatible with various gate configurations, including single swing gates, double swing gates. Whether you need a solution for light residential use or a more robust system for frequent operation, we offer swing gate automation designed for smooth performance, durability, and long-term reliability.
Pedestrian Swing Gate (Up to 1.8m wide)
Designed for lightweight gates and pedestrian use, these motors are ideal for access control in apartment buildings, residential complexes, and commercial properties. They are engineered with Push-and-Go functionality in mind and are typically non-lockable (additional electric lock can be installed), allowing for safe and convenient manual operation when needed. These systems are also well suited for users with limited mobility, as they reduce the need for physical effort when opening and closing gates.
Suitable for:
Small and light-weight gates
Less than 100mm post size
Posts are right up against walls
If Push-and-Go function is required
