Can a sliding gate motor be replaced without replacing the gate?

Usually yes, as long as the leaf and track are in good condition. The test is simple: with the motor released, a healthy leaf moves by hand without much effort. If it does, a new operator can be matched to the leaf weight and length, fitted to the existing rack or a new one, and set up with the old controls or new ones.

If the leaf is bent, the track is badly worn or the rack is damaged along its length, those parts are repaired at the same time, otherwise the new motor will wear quickly. We check this on the site visit before quoting.

The right solution for your gate, door or shutter depends on the equipment, the site and how often it is used, which is why we look at it on site before we quote.
