Jay:
I used to work on electric gates, but infrequently. One gate I had worked
on closed on a client's truck and caused extensive damage. Fortunately I
had previously informed the client that the gates was unsafe and should be
disabled, so I was not held liable.
I decided at that time that occasional work on electric gates would not
provide me with the proper expertise to avoid the possibility of serious
accidents. Working with a "cobbled" gate actuator may also open liability
exposure. If it were me, I would insist on a purpose-built gate package,
not Rube Goldberg parts.

Hi All,
I've got a client who already has a very heavy linear gate that was
totally cobbled with a inverter batteries etc to run a 2hp electric garage
door opener converted to this linear gate.
So any suggestions on off the shelf gate parts to convert this to a
standard DC only gate system?
thanks,
jay
