Gatecare automatic gate openers are designed for all types of gates that swing freely.  Please see the images below for an idea of the type of gates the Gatecare is typically used with.  Please be aware that the lengths & weights are approximate.

Gatecare gate openers are designed and supplied with universal mounting brackets to fit most types of gate installations. Hinge post from 2 3/8" to 6" round or square can be used with the included universal mounting hardware.

NOTE: A GATE OPENER CANNOT OVERCOME A POORLY DESIGNED GATE.

• Does the gate swing smoothly without binds or excessive resistance? Swing gates should swing level to prevent the opener from having to lift the gate open or closed. Swing gates should not require a wheel to support them. Wheels create drag, which will cause electric gate opener problems. A wheel is generally a sign of a weak hinge system or a weak gate frame.
• Is the gate frame of substantial strength without excessive weight?
• Will the frame withstand normal wind load conditions without sway or vibration?
• Will the gate close correctly without being hand-guided or lifted to close?
• Are the hinges suited for an automatic gate opener? We recommend bearing type hinges to reduce friction drag.
• Will a reinforcement brace e required to attach the linear actuator to the gate or does a suitable cross member exist in the gate design? If any of these problems exist, they must be corrected to achieve a reliable automatic gate system.

The Gatecare Systems are operated by several devices such as a key fob (included in all packages) and several types of keypad
