Living in Darwin, Palmerston, or anywhere in the Northern Territory means dealing with unique weather conditions—from torrential downpours to cyclones.
At Duntech Automation, we specialise in gate motors built to withstand these tropical elements.
But one question we often hear is: should you choose an electric or solar-powered automatic gate motor?
Electric Gate Motors
Switching from manual gates to electric ones is a game-changer. With an electric gate motor, you can:
- Stay Comfortable and Safe: Open and close your gate without leaving the comfort of your car.
- Boost Property Value: Enhance your home’s street appeal with stylish automatic gates.
- Enjoy Peace of Mind: Benefit from auto-closing features that keep your gates securely shut, protecting kids and pets.
- Experience Quiet Operation: Our modern electric motors operate smoothly and silently.
- Handle Heavy Gates: Electric motors powered by mains electricity can move large gates, even those spanning up to 8 metres.
If you’re ready to upgrade your home or business with an electric gate motor designed for the Top End, we’ve got you covered.
Solar-Powered Gate Motors
Concerned about power outages during storms? A solar-powered gate motor might be the ideal solution.
Here’s why:
- Uninterrupted Access: Solar-powered motors keep your gates operational 24/7, even during blackouts or cyclones.
- Storm Resilience: Less susceptible to storm surge damage compared to mains-powered systems.
- Consistent Performance: High-quality solar systems offer reliable run times, rain or shine.
At Duntech Automation, we ensure our solar setups are robust, featuring appropriately sized batteries and solar panels to handle the demands of the Top End climate. No more getting caught in the rain wrestling with manual gates!
