Understanding our ‘Password’ Symbol

With security at the forefront of end users’ minds and a driving force behind most new electric gate installs, ensuring our products guarantee the highest level of security is a priority.

The ‘Password’ symbol was created specifically to represent our control panels that allow for a unique protection code to be added.

This additional function allows the installer the option to set a unique four-digit security code, which then works to lock the control unit programming, preventing unwanted access to the menus and blocking any future modifications to the settings and parameters.

Once the protection code has been set, this should be stored safely and only shared with the necessary contacts for scheduled maintenance.

If you would like more detail on how to add a protection code, you can find the simple instructions here.

Expanding our Hi-Motions cantilever hardware, meet the New XM Series

We are continuously reviewing and developing our products to ensure they meet the needs and requirements of our installing customers. Our Hi-Motions range of cantilever hardware already offered customers variety, with an extensive range of sizes. However, with vital feedback from our customers and upon reviewing products currently available, we identified a gap within the range.

This is where we introduce the brand-new XM series, specifically created to bridge the gap between our M (medium) and L (large) series of galvanised cantilever carriages and track. The XM series is the perfect go-to when the M series doesn’t quite fit the bill, but the L series is over specified.

With its rail profile of 68×68 mm, the XM series is ideal for domestic cantilever gates providing the perfect fit for gates up to 6m entrance width and 700kg structure weight.

When it comes to gates, there definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all. The XM series really enhances our already very popular ranges of cantilever gate hardware.

If you think the XM series might be the perfect fit for your next job, please do get in contact with our knowledgeable and friendly team for more details or to order.

The BISON35OTIL, our largest single-phase sliding gate motor

The BISON35OTIL with its three-phase electromechanical geared motor can be connected to a 230 Vac single-phase network. A unique factor, as commonly we see larger capacity gate motors demand a higher voltage supply. The fact the BISON35OTIL can be powered by a single-phase supply makes it much more accessible for a range of environments.

Capable of powering gates with a hefty weight of up to 3,500kg, the BISON35OTIL is ideal for intensive use and industrial applications. With its sleek and stylish design, the outer casing has a protective treatment and paint to ensure it withstands the test of time.

If you take a look under the casing, the solid metal mechanics and oil lubrication ensure maximum performance and excellent efficiency even at low temperatures. The built-in encoder device ensures precision throughout the gate moving phases, whilst the inverter technology allows for more precise adjustment of the gate moving phases, and increased crush prevention security.

 

Key Features:

  • Control unit with built-in receiver, magnetic encoder and receiver.
  • Oil lubricated gearing to ensure maximum durability. The type of oil used is also particularly effective and ensures maximum efficiency even at low temperatures.
  • MOD6 pinion
  • 8K2 safety edge input
  • Four photocell inputs providing optimal safety coverage

If you would like to find out more detail about this powerful motor, you can download the BISON35OTIL datasheet and motor instructions below:

Get to know our commercial sliding gate motors

Since it arrived in the UK, the BISON motor has generated an impressive reputation as a genuine heavy-duty commercial sliding gate motor with proven reliability in the field. When a motor has a reputation for performance and reliability, you know you have a good thing!

The BISON was our first motor to offer inverter technology with accurate control of the motor frequency and therefore its movement and position. It was also our first real commercial motor to be housed under a steel lid and not just have an impressive spec, but to look the part too.

So what were its flaws?………..well none of course, but our products always evolve to our customer’s needs and many of our customers made the decision to fit nothing other than the BISON. This was great… but on smaller domestic gates or even a very lightweight commercial job, the BISON was the adult at the kid’s tea party, so we looked at something else we could offer.

We introduce the YAK, even by the name you’ll find the internet explanation that the YAK is generally a smaller version of a BISON animal and related more to cattle where the BISON remains the big boy in this gene pool.

The YAK25OTI 230v Inverter 2500KG sliding gate motor is exactly that, it’s a BISON25OTI that has had some further modernisation as well as short back and sides to fit into a marketplace where you want a BISON but maybe you don’t need a BISON.

Now we will explain the key features of the YAK and the differences between the YAK25OTI and the BISON 25OTI. Don’t get confused that it’s physically a smaller motor, the capacity is the same, up to 2500Kg with inverter technology and the motor dimensions are also much the same, there are however some unique differences.

 

 

The BISON was originally designed using many of the BULL sliding gate motor features, including the BULL motor housing. The YAK has maintained this design but got closer to the BULL with a standard BULL-style manual release mechanism that replaces the double mechanism on the BISON. The YAK lid has also lost the photocell integration that the BISON had so both changes have reduced production cost with almost zero effect on performance. This is how we can offer an almost identical spec motor, slightly cheaper to the market, providing the perfect go-between for your domestic to commercial motor.

The most significant difference is the inverter technology and how the panel works with this technology. The BISON has a separate inverter product situated underneath the control panel alongside the motor. The YAK has a more modern built-in inverter into the control panel, saving space within the motor housing.

Using the analogy of a golfer, with the YAK and the BISON you have two big drivers in the bag, two clubs that will hit the same distance, and you’re as good with both of them. The YAK, your latest driver to the bag, cost you roughly 12% less and had some more modern features but you keep the BISON, the original big boy who you’ve grown to love and cherish.
