Underground Operators are also known as In-Ground Gate Openers, or Below-Grade Gate Operators. These operators consist of two components; the underground actuator arm and a separate control box. Underground operators are mostly used in high end projects or properties.
There are a lot of advantages for underground gate operators
An underground motor can be used even in places where the installation of a standard motor is impossible, whether due to the gate’s construction method or due to an obstacle (a wall, a post etc.).
The installation is accomplished in 3 simple steps. Firstly, one has to measure and select the appropriate solution (a qualified salesman of gate automation systems should help you make the right choice for your gate). Secondly, field works need to be carried out (excavations for foundation boxes and drainage). Thirdly, one must complete installations (connecting the gate motor, control board and safety accessories).
An underground system is a perfect choice if preserving the original gate’s appearance is a priority. The only visible part of the underground motor is the hinge. Hinges come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. This solution is made for those who pay extreme attention to the harmony of architectural details.
A solid quality underground system hardly ever breaks down and properly maintained (annual check-up and maintenance) can last for decades.
Should any malfunction occur, the motor can be easily removed from the foundation box, so no dismantling of the gate is necessary as would be the case with traditional gate motors.
