Gate Automation Builder
Build your complete gate setup.
Pick a motor, enter your gate length and choose the extras. We work out the gear rack and add everything to your cart in one go.
What kind of gate is it?
A sliding gate rolls sideways along a track. A swing gate opens like a door.
Choose the motor.
Pick by the weight of the gate, not its length. Every motor comes with 2 remotes, limit switches, 2 release keys and a mounting base plate.
Not sure how heavy your gate is? Estimate it
This is an estimate from typical construction. Share a photo of your gate on WhatsApp and our team will confirm the right motor.
How long is your gate?
Measure the moving gate itself, end to end. The gear rack runs along its full length.
Safety sensor.
An infrared beam across the opening. If a car or person is in the way, the gate does not close on them.
Wi‑Fi control.
Open and close the gate from your phone with the Smart Life app, from anywhere.
Warning light.
Flashes while the gate moves, so people and cars outside know to wait.
Buttons, switches and extra ways to open.
Add a wall button for the guard room, an exit switch, more remotes or phone-call opening.

Questions, answered.
What comes in the box with the motor?
Each NavKar sliding gate motor comes with 2 remotes, limit switches, 2 keys to release the motor and a mounting base plate with user manual. The gear rack, safety sensor and Wi‑Fi module are bought separately, which is why this builder adds them for you.
How much gear rack do I need?
As long as the moving gate. We round up to the next full metre, because a rack that stops short means the gate stops short of closed. Each 1 metre GR-12M rack is 12 mm galvanised iron and comes with 3 studs.
Which motor is right for my gate?
Choose by weight. SGM-370 is rated for gates up to 600 kg, SGM-550 up to 1,200 kg, the 750 W motor up to 1,500 kg and the 1,200 W motor up to 2,000 kg. Use the estimator above, or send us a photo and we will confirm.
Can I open the gate during a power cut?
Yes. Release the clutch with the supplied keys and the gate can be opened and closed by hand.
How does Wi‑Fi control work?
The WFC-SGM module connects to your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi. Download the Smart Life app to open and close the gate from your phone and see a history of when it was used.
Compare motors
Every gate motor, side by side.
Pick by the weight of your gate first, then check power, speed and protection. Figures are from each product listing.
