The security gate industry has been dominated by devices that apply opening and closing forces to the hinge end of gates. This method is inefficient and has many drawbacks and failures despite the fact that it is used by virtually all manufacturers. The limit switch is an easy way to mount and preset your gate were you want it to stop after activating. The limit switch simply strikes the opposite post position and stops at desired location. This allows you to easily customize the operation of your gate.
We love to automate gates and make your life just a little bit easier. It's important to build and provide a quality product to our customers. That's why we run each unit through a rigorous quality control in our shop as we test every aspect of the Gator before shipping. John Curry, who was a WW II fighter pilot and later a senior engineer that worked on the Saturn S1B rocket, decided to enjoy the life of a farmer and grew blueberries in the sunny state of Florida. To make his life easier as he traveled through gates on his farm he needed an automatic gate opener.
Solar panel bracket allows you to adjust/point the solar panel towards the sun at noon day from any angle. This consists of steel bracket and hardware. PVC pipe attaches to a U bolt. All primed and ready to paint to your favored color. Gator comes with a 12 volt 20 amp deep cycle battery. Replacement batteries can be picked up at your local Continental Batteries or Interstate Batteries. Their comparable battery is an 18 amp deep cycle. Which will work good with the Gator. For farm and ranch type gates you'll need "steel suspenders" to provide a sturdy back for the Gator to mount on.
