Detailed client guide

Start with the operating requirement, then select the equipment.

Capacity, speed and hardware vary by model. RJL confirms the final selection after reviewing the gate, opening, duty cycle, wind exposure, power, safety and access-control requirements.

  • Sliding-gate automation up to 2200kg options
  • Boom-gate opening speeds from approximately 3–6 seconds
  • Battery backup, solar and off-grid options
  • RFID, keypad, GSM, intercom and ANPR integration
  • Safety loops, photocells, edges and obstruction detection
  • CAME, Beninca and major commercial system support
01

Gate and motor selection

Commercial operators are selected around the real moving mass and cycle demand, not only the opening width.

  • Published sliding-gate options up to approximately 2200kg
  • Track, guide, cantilever and hinge geometry
  • Continuous-duty and high-cycle operator options
  • Soft start and stop, encoder and manual-release features
02

Power and resilience

The site’s power availability and recovery requirements shape the control system.

  • Mains, low-voltage, solar and off-grid configurations
  • Battery backup and manual emergency release
  • Surge, isolation and protected cabling considerations
  • Fault notification and remote monitoring options
03

Safety and integration

Safety devices and access control are designed as part of the whole entrance.

  • Photocells, safety edges and loop detectors
  • Beacons, sirens, traffic lights and obstruction logic
  • RFID, keypad, intercom, GSM, app and ANPR options
  • Building, parking and security-system integration

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers before you contact the team.

Can I choose a motor from gate weight alone?

No. The team also considers cycles, speed, friction, wind loading, gate geometry, temperature, power and how critical the entrance is to operations.

Can RJL confirm a specification from drawings?

Drawings are a useful start, but final selection normally requires confirmation of dimensions, levels, services, traffic flow and access-control requirements.
