Types of Automation for Gates
Automations for gates are systems that enable the automatic opening and closing of gates, dispensing with the need for manual intervention. With a variety of types available, each has its own advantages and applications.
It is important to remember that when choosing an automation, there are characteristics that you must take into account to ensure that the system works correctly, such as:
- Weight and size of the gate
- Type of power
- Speed
- Performance
- Context and environment (residential, industrial, among others)
- Among other features

Automations for Sliding Gates
Automation for sliding gate offer advantages mainly in terms of space saving, safety, aesthetics and convenience, which makes them a very popular choice for many homeowners.
- Space saving: Unlike swing gates which need space to open inwards or outwards, sliding gates do not need free space in front of or behind the gate to open.
- Smooth operation: These automations generally provide a smoother and more uniform movement during the opening and closing of the gate. This feature helps to avoid blunt impacts and reduces wear and tear over time.
- Reduced maintenance: Sliding gates with automation tend to require less maintenance over time, due to the simplicity of their operating mechanism.

Automation for Swing Gates
Automation for swing gates use a rotary movement to open or close the gate leaves. These motors can be programmed to perform various functions, such as fully or partially opening the gate, as well as adjusting speed and sensitivity to obstacles.
Below are some of the main advantages of this type of automation:
- Adaptation to uneven terrain: These automations can be installed effectively in places where a sliding gate would not be suitable due to the terrain conditions.
- Partial opening: In many cases, swing gates can only be opened partially, without the need to open the gate completely. This option can be convenient for saving energy and ensuring convenient access to people passing by.
- Durability and robustness: Due to their simpler construction, this type of gate can be more durable and resistant to adverse weather conditions.
There is also the possibility of integrating underground automation for swing gates, as is the case with Motorline’s SUBWING. With the opening mechanisms installed below ground, the gate surface remains free of visible components.
Automation for Sectional Gates
Sectional door operators are a popular option because they offer practicality, aesthetics and functionality.
Below are some of the main advantages of this type of automation:
- Space saving: Developed to move vertically, this type of automation takes up little space.
- Durability: Developed with resistant and durable materials, which guarantees a long useful life and requires less maintenance over time.
- Compatibility with garages: Sectional doors are often used for garages, as the vertical opening does not interfere with the internal height of the garage.
