Gate motors for Magaliessig's busy complex and cluster home gates
Magaliessig is about 9 km north-west of Sandton City. In Magaliessig, most properties are apartments, townhouses or clusters, meaning hundreds of residents often rely on a single shared entrance gate. These gates, many opening onto busy roads like Witkoppen Road and Leslie Avenue, operate almost continuously from the morning rush to late at night. This constant use puts immense strain not just on the motor, but on the gate's wheels, track, and mechanical parts, which wear out much faster than on a gate for a single home.
Our approach for Magaliessig's sectional title properties is to first service the gate itself, making sure it runs smoothly by hand to reduce the load on the motor. We then install or repair motors rated for high-traffic, commercial use, which are designed for the demands of a complex. For these busy entrances, correctly aligned safety beams are important to prevent accidents, and we install reliable battery backup systems to keep residents moving during power cuts.
For trustees and managing agents in Magaliessig, the biggest concerns are managing access and preventing failures that inconvenience the whole complex. With residents and tenants moving, old remotes can become a security risk. We assist body corporates by clearing the gate motor's memory and reprogramming only the remotes of current, authorised residents. This scheduled maintenance helps control access and turns unpredictable repair bills into a manageable budget item.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our gate automation page.
Questions from Magaliessig
Our complex gate is constantly breaking down. Does it need a more powerful motor?
Not necessarily more powerful, but one rated for the high volume of traffic. Often, the problem in Magaliessig's complexes is that the gate itself is worn from constant use. We check the wheels and track first, then make sure the motor is specified for high-duty cycle use.
How do we stop ex-tenants from accessing our complex in Magaliessig?
If their remote was never deleted, it will still work. The only way to be certain is to clear all remotes from the gate motor's receiver and re-enrol only the ones for current residents. We can do this as part of a routine service.
