Autogate services recently installed an automated gate at the Elwick Racecourse in Southern Tasmania.
This was one of the larger gates that we have installed, requiring transport on a semi trailer with lifting gear installed. Many thanks to David Bennett from DAB Transport.
We’ve been quite busy of late automating the gates of Hobart. We thought we’d show you a few of the installations we’ve done to illustrate the point that gate automation does not come at a visual cost. In all three of these installations you would be hard pressed to pick they are automatic gates and the character of the property has been carefully retained.
Check out the pics below – three different properties in Howrah, Sandy Bay and Kingston.
We were requested by the Parks and Wildlife Service to replace a sub-standard gate and motor unit (APC brand purchased from internet) with a new gate and motor drive unit as shown. No quote, just come and do it properly.
If you have heard anything of the Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease which has wiped out most of the wild devils in Tas, an isolated and ‘free of disease’ population are quarantined on the Tasman Peninsula and this gate is part of the (electric) fence boundary across the isthmus at Dunalley which prevents infected devils from getting on to the peninsula and spreading the disease to the good stock.
The Key Automation motor drive unit was selected for absolute reliability.
The design of the gate was such that we chose perforated metal (2.0mm holes @ 3.00mm centres) which reduced the wind loading but prevented the devils from climbing over. I then used Qtron QT1000 radio remotes with high gain antenna (from Mobile One in Camden in NSW) and Rx in the motor unit. In this configuration, remotes work from inside a house approx 400m away!

Autogate Services Australia have installed many automated security gates in industrial and government settings. We were thrilled to be trusted by the Dept of Defense to provide the security gates for Angelsea Barracks in Hobart
