Non-Electric Automatic Gate

[@martinvanderwesthuizen3864]

This concept and variations of it were built in the late 1980s in South Africa, and I was one of the designers however, commercialisation of it fell flat for a number of reasons. Price resistance, 80s production methods, market access, and they were also stolen just for the scrap metal value, just one of the scourges of rural South Africa. Some unscrupulous people just copied the design and built their own, which is perfectly legal as long as you don't produce it commercially for anybody else. (sure.) I hope you are very successful, because we need more of these innovative ideas to become success stories.

[@edparrish8499]

Sound bitter much

[@thedislikebutton1907]

Skill issue

[@kellyrobinson3136]

Does it say/ show anywhere in the video if you can lock it open? How is it installed so that it won't move out of position w/ the way it bounces when opening and closing? Would there be a way of minimizing the bouncing when activated? How does it stand up to weather conditions? Is it water/ dust resistant?

[@betterdenu999]

You’d have to get out to lock it open just tie some rope or lock it with some chain

[@SharkFishSF]

springs probably,

[@debbieweathersbee7029]

I wouldn't mind trying it on my inside pasture gates and places like that. As long as my sheep herd didn't figure it out. I don't think my cows would try it out maybe one of my calves would. I'm curious how long are these gates cause I would need a 16 foot and a 12 foot gates for sure. Great idea!

[@nightwalker3828]

The sheep is not heavy enough. And the cows won’t walk over metal grates like that.

[@betterdenu999]

Love how all of these automatic gates are Aussie made

[@_DB.COOPER]

We actually get down and open them here, we call the extra 25 seconds it takes exercise.

[@kylekane8275]

Bro ,you don’t have to get out of your car it’s the ultimate lazy dads toy to me🤣🤣, I can guarantee that you don’t even get up to change the channel on the tv,you use the remote,so that little 25 secs of exercise you talk about can kiss my a hole😂😂 It would take me 2 days to stop playing with the damn thing alone!!

[@MercadanteMusic]

The horses would figure that out in a day lol

[@johnpearce5168]

Ok... How much?? And where do they sale them???

[@tigeruppercut2000]

Yeah this works well for farms and stuff where you're trying to prevent cows and livestock from escaping but as a general gate maybe not so much

[@mimonstv3964]

Where can I buy gas strut,like that pls help?

[@thefrub]

Very cool... but I can see a lot of flex in those wheel ramps. Those will get bent to shit in a few years, just like loading ramps and drain grates do. Still really cool.

[@SharkFishSF]

not if they're ss

[@krissm9976]

I can't seem to get into where to order this from the links. Real want this pleeeeas

[@mookie0921]

I live in the USA where can I buy this

[@carlynallen6219]

Did you find where to purchase? I'm also looking to get one.

[@PhantomMark]

Very cool actually

[@fitrahfarms3943]

what fencing goes on the side of it if when the gate opens when it falls to the side?

[@annawermter884]

Is there any info how well they work in snow?

[@harvdown]

not sure about the snow ,may need some changes.

[@stephanieparker2921]

Where can I buy this?

[@johannestremel3541]

who is this gate supposed to keep out/in?

[@NH-hf8yp]

Can a retrofit be done to work with my Robin reliant?

[@MrQ454]

for Robin reliant this turns into a catapult ramp! He just flies it over the fence 🤣

[@ecthelion1735]

You can just reverse through.

[@invisibilianone6288]

And those air cylinders that slow the gate, when closing, never fail.... It's a great idea, but...

[@bridgettekatsane7400]

I need this!!!

[@guessundheit6494]

Gates? Those should be on roads at crosswalks and intersections. Force drivers to stop.

[@tonykaravidas8610]

I'd laugh if a cow figured it out.

[@lptvboy]

Tony Karavidas horse are smart! Lol

[@beeper2765]

Cows won't walk on that grate.

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

Also needs to be heavy enough

[@TheTaoOfArt]

How does it lock

[@ingridhollinger2406]

Cost?

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Working smarter not harder.

[@thelegacyshow4248]

I need one of these on my property.

[@jefffelix2927]

I love it, only problem is I can't lock it... which defeats the purpose of a security gate. 😆

[@franknplant2633]

It's not a security gate it's a access gate so you can get into coreals and pastures without opening and closing gates every 5 minutes

[@daniellinehan1238]

There is a option to disengage the ramp to lock it

[@dannymuir3605]

[@bweather04]

If you cannot figure out how to lock this. You shouldn't be anywhere near a gate.

[@hughmungus913]

All these bozos driving through the fancy gate when there’s not even a fence either side of it!

[@arnaud78]

This is absolutely genius... The problem is just if livestock start walking over it, lol. That can be mitigated by making the metal grill a triangular shape rather than flat though.

[@mars7786]

Cows wont go over an open grate in the ground this thing would scare them away when it would start to move anyway

[@SLOCLMBR]

Yea,they wouldn't get anywhere near it.

[@jazielribeiro8749]

boa noite como conseigo o projeto dessa cancela?

[@tenfour000]

Can this work for garage door?

[@zeroidentityzyzyzy]

probably but would have to look way different

[@fionataylor8]

Cool!

[@joydittman]

How much

[@waylonjohnson1578]

In Texas it would a cow leg breaker

[@aliostrowski1935]

Can we get instructions?

[@Annalorraine2x]

Could any one find the cost?

[@mannybar88]

Can't open it with mower... what if you're hauling trailer.. cool idea for simple needs though

[@SteamCase]

Bad day to have a SmartCar

[@nondumisonombuso1914]

How much is this gate and where can I get it

[@wr6897]

I need this

[@Your.joke.is.over.]

Great idea if the gate isn't for security. Anyone can open it.

[@chicken69tenders]

Fantastic for livestock management

[@kmaidotia]

@@chicken69tenders makes sense from that perspective

[@daniellinehan1238]

You can lock it

[@bgiv2010]

Satisfying

[@jdouglas4564]

A small remote control lock would be quite easy to come up with and would not take very much power. It could be run on a solar cell, no bigger than a few inches

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

You don't live on a farm!

[@KarelBredenkamp]

You never see how it closes?

[@user-zb4wh3ks2e]

What good is a gate if anybody can open it?

[@dorindafrye4025]

Cost???
