Swift Gate and Garage Door Services specialises in the supply, installation and replacement of automatic gate motors throughout metropolitan Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
We install electric motors for residential and commercial sliding and swing gates, including heavy-duty and solar-powered gate automation systems.
Whether you're automating a manual gate, upgrading an outdated motor or replacing a failed operator, we assess your gate and recommend suitable equipment based on its size, weight, operating requirements and installation conditions.
We supply and install a range of automatic gate motor systems for homes, commercial properties and industrial premises.
Sliding Gate Motors
We install electric sliding gate motors for residential driveways, commercial properties and high-usage entrances. Our services include new motor installations, replacements, control board programming and commissioning.
Swing Gate Motors
We supply and install automatic swing gate operators for single and double gates, including articulated arm motors and linear actuators. Motor selection depends on the gate's dimensions, hinge configuration and opening requirements.
Commercial & Heavy-Duty Gate Motors
Commercial and industrial gates often require motors capable of handling heavier loads and frequent operation. We assess gate weight, operating cycles, mechanical resistance and duty-cycle requirements before recommending suitable automation.
Solar-Powered Gate Motors
For properties without convenient mains electricity, we can assess suitable solar-powered gate automation options, including solar panels, batteries and compatible motor systems.
Replacement & Upgrade Motors
We replace faulty, outdated and unsuitable gate motors with compatible new systems. Where possible, existing gate components can be retained following inspection.
We work with established gate automation manufacturers, including:
BFT, Centsys, FAAC, Nice, DEA, APC, Beninca and Merlin.
We also work with electronic control systems and replacement control boards from manufacturers including Elsema.
We consider reliability, availability of replacement parts, battery backup options, motor performance and compatibility with existing equipment when recommending an installation.
Selecting an automatic gate motor involves more than choosing a motor with a suitable weight rating.
Before recommending equipment, we assess:
Gate type, dimensions and actual weight.
Gate movement, hinges, rollers, tracks and mechanical resistance.
Residential or commercial operating frequency.
Motor duty cycle and performance requirements.
Available mains electricity or solar power.
Battery backup requirements.
Safety devices and operating conditions.
Remote controls, keypads and compatible smartphone control options.
Environmental exposure and long-term servicing requirements.
Correct motor selection and installation help reduce unnecessary wear and improve operational reliability.
In many cases, an existing manually operated gate can be automated without replacing the entire gate.
We inspect the gate structure, mechanical movement, mounting options and available power supply before recommending a suitable motor.
For existing automatic gates, we assess whether a replacement operator can be fitted using the current mounting arrangements, gear rack, wiring or other components.
Where changes are required, we explain the necessary work before proceeding.
A reliable gate motor installation requires suitable electronic controls and properly configured safety functions.
Our installation services can include compatible control boards, remote receivers, safety sensors, keypads and Wi-Fi gate control devices.
We configure relevant motor settings, opening and closing functions, operating sequences and connected safety devices.
We also provide separate electronic control board troubleshooting, repairs and replacement services.
For residential properties, we install motors suited to everyday driveway use, providing convenient gate operation and compatible automation features.
For commercial sites, warehouses, shared entrances and industrial premises, we assess higher operating demands and recommend suitable motor systems.
High-cycle installations require particular consideration of motor specifications, mechanical gate condition, operating frequency and maintenance requirements.
Not every faulty automatic gate motor requires replacement.
We diagnose existing gate motors and control systems to determine whether repair is practical and cost-effective.
When replacement is the better option, we can supply and install a compatible new motor and configure the automation system.
We also provide gate motor servicing and preventative maintenance, with same-day repair availability where possible and 24/7 emergency assistance for urgent gate breakdowns.
