FAAC Autogate for Heavy Sliding Gate Kuching | High Capacity Gate Motor
FAAC Autogate Installation for Heavy Sliding Gate in Kuching – High Capacity Motor Solution
HJ Security installed a FAAC high-capacity autogate motor system for a heavy sliding gate at a property in Kuching, Sarawak. Heavy custom gates require motors specifically rated for their weight and usage frequency – choosing an underpowered motor leads to premature failure.
Why Gate Weight Matters for Motor Selection
Gate motors are rated for specific maximum gate weights. Installing an undersized motor on a heavy gate forces it to work at or beyond its design limits, generating excessive heat, accelerating wear, and causing early failure. Proper motor sizing is critical for long-term reliability.
Assessing Gate Weight
Before recommending a motor, HJ Security calculates or measures the gate leaf weight taking into account gate dimensions, material (mild steel, stainless, aluminium), and any infill panels or decorative elements that add to total mass.
FAAC Solution for Heavy Gates
FAAC 746 ER – Oil Bath Motor for Heavy Gates
For gates up to 800kg, the FAAC 746 ER provides heavy-duty performance in an oil bath housing. The oil bath ensures the motor remains cool even during intensive use with a heavy gate, delivering consistent performance for years.
FAAC 760 – Commercial Duty
For very heavy gates or high-frequency commercial applications, the FAAC 760 provides industrial-grade performance with intensive duty cycle ratings suitable for the most demanding commercial installations.
Installation for Heavy Gate Applications
Heavy gate installations require reinforced motor mounting brackets, heavier-gauge rack systems, and concrete foundation anchoring to handle the forces involved. HJ Security's installation team has the equipment and expertise for heavy gate automation projects.
