How do Our Gate Automation Systems Work?
Our gate automation systems provide reliable and convenient solutions for both new and existing gates. The process involves the installation of an electric "operator," which can be either Electro-mechancial RAMs or Brushless Motors to move the gates. This operator allows for the automation of the gate, enabling various activation methods such as buttons, remote controls or vehicle detectors to initiate gate movement.
Reliable Automatic Opening for New & Existing Gates
Safety is paramount and our systems are equipped with safety devices that continuously monitor and control the gate's operation. If any vehicles or pedestrians are detected within the gate's swing area, the system will promptly signal the operator mechanism to stop and either re-open or close the gate as needed.
What Happens During a Power Cut?
In the event of a power failure, our gate automation systems are designed with contingencies in mind. Access can be maintained by simply unlocking the gate using the provided keys, allowing for manual operation.
For added convenience and peace of mind, our 24V systems come equipped with a battery backup feature. This means that even in the event of a power failure, your gate will continue to operate seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted access. For those seeking an eco-friendly and self-sustaining option, we also offer Solar Powered Gate Openers, which provide an excellent choice for worry-free gate automation.
You can find brief descriptions and pictures of some of the equipment we install below. Alternatively, visit the main CAME BPT, RT Automation and BFT Automation websites or view the PDF brochures for the relevant Operator.

Sliding Gate Operators: Maximising Space & Efficiency
If you have limited depth of space in an entrance, electric sliding gates emerge as the optimal solution, requiring minimal room.
These gates operate by moving horizontally along a precisely geared runner, traveling parallel to an adjacent wall. This design not only provides automation but also maximises the usable space on your premises.
Our Ares series of sliding gate operators are popular with many of our customers, renowned for their efficiency and safety. These systems come equipped with advanced control boards that ensure smooth and secure operation.
Furthermore, to cater to diverse needs, we offer several models in 24V versions, ideal for heavy workloads and compatibility with solar systems. This versatility ensures that our sliding gate operators can seamlessly adapt to your specific requirements.
Solar Gate Automation Systems
We are pleased to be one of the first UK companies to offer reliable solar powered automation systems. These innovative solutions are particularly well-suited for locations where a conventional mains power supply is not readily available, extending security measures to even the most remote areas.
Our solar-powered gate systems are meticulously designed to ensure reliability throughout the year, even during the shortest days of winter. This calculation considers several factors, including the site's latitude, the frequency of gate operations and the specific access control accessories required for the gate.
These cutting-edge systems are suitable for gates or barriers opening up to 500 times a day. For installations with higher demands, we offer the option to harness multiple sources of green energy, combining both solar and wind power. With our comprehensive range of systems, we can protect and secure ANY property, regardless of its location or operational requirements.
