Automatic gate maintenance: why is it important?
What is maintenance of automatic gates?
Automatic gates are considered to be actual “machines” that have to meet certain requirements, and, above all, have to be periodically maintained. Those who choose to automate a gate must first ask the installer for some important documents, including the declaration of conformity and the system’s maintenance book. The book logs all the operations carried out on the gate: the initial installation, ordinary maintenance and any service calls with corresponding repairs or changes.
Why is it important to perform maintenance on gates?
Ordinary maintenance of automatic gates is required by law. Verifying the proper operation of your automatic gate is critical to ensuring the safety of all users: a malfunction of the automation system could, in fact, cause accidents and damage of a more or less serious nature. It is therefore extremely important to periodically verify the status of automatic gates and to intervene promptly whenever a problem occurs. In most cases, immediately finding the malfunction means being able to solve the problem quickly and with little effort. In the end, scheduled maintenance serves to face daily life with total peace of mind. Those who follow this procedure don’t need to worry about any risks associated with the use of a gate that is not in compliance with the law or is unsafe.
How can maintenance operations be simplified?
To simplify maintenance of automatic gates it is important to choose a quality, reliable and safe system. Like automations by Tau Italia, featuring state-of-the-art technologies and sophisticated systems that minimise the risk of damage and malfunctions. For this reason, our low-voltage gearmotors with encoder guarantee compliance with EN 12445-12543 standards. But it is important to remember that the certification of a sliding gate weighing more than 500 kg requires the use of an onboard wireless system. For us, safety and reliability are of absolute importance, providing customers with peace of mind and comfort in their everyday lives.
