You already have a gate in Tunisia and dream of opening it without getting out of the car? Good news: in most cases, an existing gate is motorised without replacing it. But you must pick the right motor and fit it properly. Here is the essence of a reliable automation anywhere in Tunisia.
Which motor for which gate?
Sliding gate
We install a rack-and-pinion motor along the wall. It is robust, suited to wide openings and entrances with no run-back. Ideal when the gate already slides well on its rail.
Swing gate
Depending on the leaves, we choose rams or articulated arms. Weight, length and wind exposure guide the choice — not to be overlooked on open entrances under the Tunisian climate.
Power cuts and sun: two local realities
In Tunisia, power cuts happen. A backup battery keeps the gate working during an outage — we almost always recommend one. And when running an electrical line to the gate is difficult, solar power is a clean, economical solution, well suited to the country's sunshine.
- Motor sized to the gate’s weight and length
- Backup battery against power cuts
- Solar power when the electrical line is far
- Anti-crush photocells (mandatory safety)
- Remote controls + opening from your smartphone
Safety is non-negotiable
A motorised gate is heavy. Photocells stop the movement instantly when an obstacle breaks the beam — a child, a car, an animal — and the flashing light signals the operation. These devices are essential: we fit them as standard, never as a hidden option.
Upkeep under the Tunisian climate
Dust and sea spray strain the mechanisms, especially near the coast. Greasing the rails and testing the safety features once or twice a year clearly extends the lifespan.
