New Electric Gate Motor Upgrade Completed in Stonehouse, Near Stroud
The Gate Men team recently completed a full electric gate automation upgrade for a homeowner in Stonehouse, near Stroud, Gloucestershire. The customer's existing driveway gates were structurally sound but their ageing automation system had become unreliable, resulting in frequent breakdowns, slow operation and increasing repair costs.
Rather than replacing the gates themselves, we installed a complete above-ground motor upgrade kit featuring premium Roger Technology BE200 electromechanical gate motors paired with the advanced Edge 1 control panel.
This modernisation has transformed the performance, reliability and safety of the customer's automatic driveway gate system while significantly extending its lifespan.
Why Upgrade Existing Electric Gate Motors?
Many homeowners assume that when their gate motors fail, they need an entirely new gate installation. In reality, most electric driveway gates can be upgraded using modern automation equipment while retaining the existing gates.
Motor upgrades are often the most cost-effective solution when:
Existing gate motors are obsolete
Spare parts are no longer available
Gates suffer from frequent breakdowns
Automation systems become unreliable
Safety standards need updating
Existing RAM gate motors have failed
Customers want improved remote access functionality
Repairs are becoming increasingly expensive
A modern electric gate motor replacement can provide years of reliable operation without the expense of replacing the entire gate system.
Roger BE200 Above Ground Motors Installed
For this project, we selected the highly regarded Roger Technology BE200 above-ground gate motors.
These Italian-manufactured motors are renowned throughout the gate industry for their exceptional reliability, smooth operation and long service life.
Benefits of Roger BE200 Motors
Brushless motor technology
Extremely quiet operation
Fast opening speeds
Low power consumption
Suitable for residential driveway gates
Long service life
Reduced maintenance requirements
Advanced obstacle detection
Smooth start and stop functionality
The new motors were carefully fitted to the customer's existing driveway gates, ensuring optimal geometry and performance.
Edge 1 Control Panel Upgrade
Alongside the motor replacement, we installed a new Edge 1 control panel.
The control panel acts as the brain of the entire automation system and provides:
Advanced safety management
Adjustable operating parameters
Enhanced obstacle detection
Remote programming capabilities
Improved reliability
Future expansion options
Compliance with current safety standards
The combination of Roger BE200 motors and the Edge 1 control panel provides one of the most reliable residential gate automation solutions currently available.
