Thank you for showing installers the power of gate operators. Some think the internal saftys are enough. You proved it is not. Enjoyed your presentation keep it up.
I still can't figure out why I watch fence videos. But I do. Here's to not getting a crush injury, or dying, from a gate in '25 😂 (nah, I watch because you're an expert of your craft and I truly do learn stuff)
@scottmichaels12 Join the military, work around gates and aircraft hanger doors. Become the safety officer and attend quarterly briefings on how often this happens in a given year.
I spent 20 years installing and repairing automatic entrance doors on grocery stores, hospitals, etc. With an automatic door, the problem with turning the reversing feature all the way up is that a pebble in the track, a slightly worn roller, or even just a the door being barely misaligned can cause the door to constantly recycle, aka "ghost". The door has to be in perfect shape to turn the reversing feature to its most sensitive setting, and an automatic door is NEVER perfect. I really disliked the all of the safety sensors required on automatic doors because 90% of automatic door problems had something to do with the safety features malfunctioning and the doors will "fail safe", meaning that the door just stops working if there's any issue with a safety feature. That being said, the safety features are absolutely necessary to prevent, or at least minimize lawsuits.
Fences and gates are made to deny and allow access, I would hope that if someone tries to block/hold my gate open to prevent it from closing, it ignores their attempts and closes anyways. The alternative is that they're trespassing on my property and then they can do a comparison on "Silent Killers: Gates vs Firearms" in the afterlife.
I agree with your sentiments if you're referring to your own private property. But gates like this are typically installed on commercial property, open to the public. If you're "open for business" then someone driving through your gate is not trespassing. As a customer, if a gate opens for you but you're too slow getting through the gate, the business owner is still going to be liable for damage to you or your vehicle if the gate makes contact. If you're a business owner, you cannot have gates closing on vehicles or people or you will face massive lawsuits.
@@scottmichaels12 That's a good point that I hadn't considered when I was reflexively typing my "I'm being a smartass in the UA-cam comments" reply. I appreciate the different perspective.
@@TMHF Nothing wrong with being a smartass, I find myself in that situation all the time.😅But like I said, when it comes to a gate on your own personal property at your home, I feel the same way as you do.
Because gates need to have the ability to close if a rock or something else obstructs the track, or even if the wind is blowing and pushing on them too hard. If they don't close because something is obstructing them and you're not monitoring the closure, you leave your business wide open. When it comes to gates, high winds are a big deal, even on sliding gates. Plus once in motion, a 400 lb gate cannot just stop on a dime. The heavier the gate, the more force they are going to close with regardless of the type of operator that you're using.There are some basic physics involved here.
@@scottmichaels12 Can't see how more than a fairly modest increase in percentage of force beyond what's already used for moving the gate would be needed for nudging a stone aside or wind through open link, and if it's driven by a motor rather than rolling freely, it can absolutely be stopped instantly. If there are mechanical reasons why it would need sooo much additional force added (there may well be) I'd really like to know what those are. But I don't think it's rocks or wind. Only thing I could come up with was maybe jammed up snow/ice.
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Y'all have the coolest most informative fence videos.

I didnt know there was a spike kit for my gate. gonna order 1 right away!
but get the upgraded powder coating because as you saw, the spray paint wears off rather quickly
Slow moving gates and hanger doors.
Natural selection in its most basic form.
Yeah, tell that to the judge when the lawsuit gets filed and see how it works out for you.😂

I was thinking this the entire time I was watching this video: "Safety regulations are written in blood."
Great video best examples I seen on safety for gate operators
Great video gentlemen! Thank you!🇺🇸

Happy New Year guys, have a successful year in business.
These gates appear to have much more strength than simply what's necessary to roll them into latching position and seat them. WTF?

So much knowledge here!!
Great video. Fun and informative
Good demo
For science! (Take your thumbs up)

Exaggerating!! in my opinion, most brand name gate openers have sensors and force control knobS
Yikes.
