Kit Suitability 

The Kit Leader has linear ram (straight arm) motors which mount on brackets (highlighted in yellow below) attached to the pillars.

For optimum leverage and mechanical advantage the motors should be mounted where the A & B measurements are equal as per table below:

Recommended Installation (90° opening)

A + B = C (motor Stroke)  

If the ideal scenario of A & B is not achievable, refer to the below table to determine bracket position. (mm)

The D dimension only comes into play when the gate is side hung. 

Leader 3TI max D measurement = 150mm

Leader 4TI max D measurement = 200mm

Leader 5TI max D measurement = 225mm

Before purchasing this kit it is important to note the width of your post/pillar and hinge position.

Your post/pillar must be wide enough to fix the bracket so the A & B measurements can be achieved for the motor you require. 

Installation Advice

When fitting the gate brackets to a wooden gate, we recommend that you insert stainless steel tubing (just large enough to sleeve the mounting bolt threads and 1mm shorter than the thickness of the wood) through the gate mounting holes. This will prevent over-tightening of the mounting bolts and also avoid the repetitive push/pull on the mounting bolts from damaging the wood - See the instruction manual under the download section on this page for more information. 

Gate Stops 

These electric gate motors require a physical stop at the end of the opening and closing cycle. Gate Stops provide resistance to the motors so they know they've reached either the open or closed position. Without gate stops the motors will over extend during their operation and the mechanism will eventually fail. When assessing your gate-way it is important to check you can install physical stops in both the closing and opening positions. Common reason's why gate stops cannot be installed are a sloping driveway or the gate is raised significanlty off the ground. If you cannot install something to provide resistance at either end of the motors cycle then you will require a specialised ram with in-built mechanical stops.
