Prices are kit prices in AED, supply only. Installation is quoted after a free site check.
We size motors with a safety margin: weight × 1.2 for villas, × 1.4 for buildings and communities, × 1.6 for industrial gates.
Most sliding kits include 4 m of rack. Longer gates need extra rack, priced per metre.

How to Choose a Gate Motor in Dubai

The right gate motor depends on three things: the gate's weight, its length and how often it opens. A villa gate that opens a few times a day can use a residential motor. A gate at a tower, compound or school opens dozens of times a day and needs an intensive-duty motor. Warehouses and labour camps need industrial operators built for continuous use.

Always choose a motor rated above your gate's real weight. Dubai heat, sand and wind add load, so a 20–60% margin keeps the motor cool and extends its life. See our full ranges of automatic gate operators, BFT and Nice gate automation, or ask our team on WhatsApp +971 55 712 1979.
