Lifts and Lift Accessories

Lifting devices for gates vary from the simple handwheel lift to electrically operated units with torque and limit switches or hydraulically actuated cylinders. The type of lifting device selected depends upon the gate size, the unbalanced head under which the gate will operate, speed of gate travel and frequency of operation.

Selection of the lifting device will depend on:

1. The unbalanced head under which the gate is to operate
2. The frequency of operation
3. The distance the slide is to be moved
