When you’re living in Darwin or the surrounding Northern Territory, the decision to install an automatic gate motor—especially a solar-powered one—just makes sense.
At Duntech Automation, in partnership with authorised dealer, Dunwrights Doors & Gates, we provide the perfect solution for both convenience and security.
With automatic gates that can be powered by either solar or mains electricity, we make sure that your property remains accessible and safe, come torrential rain or power outages.
Solar-Powered Gate Motors: The Obvious Choice for Remote Locations
For those living in more remote areas or wanting to save on electricity bills, a solar-powered gate motor is a no-brainer.
With the Top End’s abundance of sunlight, these systems are incredibly efficient and reliable. Here’s a short clip of one in action:
Whether you’re dealing with the Wet Season’s downpours or a dry season power outage, a solar-powered automatic gate ensures your gates keep running smoothly, 24/7.
Plus, they’re less prone to storm surge damage than traditional mains-powered systems, offering peace of mind all year round.
Why an Automatic Gate is Essential for Darwin Homes and Businesses
Having an automatic gate, whether it’s for a residential or commercial property, is about more than just security—it’s about convenience.
Who wants to get drenched in the middle of a tropical downpour to open a manual gate? Or fumble with locks and keys while battling the elements?
With a solar or 240V automatic gate motor, you can stay dry and comfortable by simply pressing a remote or using a smartphone app.
Here are just a few key benefits of a solar-powered or electric gate motor from Duntech Automation:
Ease of Access and Reliability
Automatic gate systems—whether sliding or swinging—are designed to make your life easier. Our heavy-duty gate openers are built to handle even the heaviest of gates, with commercial-grade operators suitable for gates up to 8 meters wide (and sometimes more!).
Secure and Convenient
With options for remote control, intercom-operated access, or a keypad for pedestrian entry, your gate will only open for those you allow access. Safety is a priority, so we offer features like auto-lock, auto-close, and mechanical or electronic locks with a force of up to 2 tonnes.
Tailored to Your Needs
Duntech Automation doesn’t just stop at supplying gate motors. In collaboration with Dunwrights Doors & Gates, we offer complete gate solutions, from brand-new installations to retrofitting solar panels or batteries onto existing gates.
We work with both single and double swing gates, as well as automatic sliding gates, ensuring you get the best fit for your property.
We even have specialized solutions for tight spaces, like folding cantilever gates!
Solar vs. 240V Gate Motors – Which is Right for You?
Choosing between solar-powered and 240V electric gate motors depends on your location, needs, and budget.
For those wanting independence from the grid or dealing with unreliable power supply, solar gate motors are ideal.
With upgraded batteries and consistent charging, you can ensure your gates are functional, even during long periods of poor weather or power outages.
