Automatic gates come in all types and styles. Sliding gates, Swinging gates, Boom gates and Cantilever gates.
We specialise in domestic, commercial and industrial installations.
Most common brands we install are BFT, Automatic Technology Australia (ATA), Arco, ECA and Gate Drive Systems Australia.
McGovern Agencies do no fabricate gates, but we work closely with most gate and fencing fabricators in Townsville. The gate motor installation is a specialist field and a poor installation will compromise your security.
Contact us and we will advise the best solution for your home or business. All these options can be opened by remote control, proximity swipe cards, code pads, key switches or even your mobile telephone.
Installation Tip
When installing an automatic gate motor in you house, we recommend integrating the system with the garage door opener. Most modern garage door remote controls have multiple buttons. We can program the system so that one button opens the gate and another button opens the garage door. Simple for us to do, and convenient for you.

Swinging Gates
Not sure what type of arm to use for your gate?
For articulated arms you need approximately 550mm clearance behind the motor, to allow the arm room to move. (Note: This measurement is for most gates from 2M-5M long).
If you are lacking space, you should consider a piston arm. This type of arm is much more space efficient, and is also suitable for gates from 2M-5M in length.
