Dampener for Sliding Gate Safety

The Dampener

The dampener provides essential safety for users when the gate’s override clutch is released.  By slowing the gate’s downward travel and preventing gate bounce, it will also extend the life of your gate motor.

If you’re looking for smoother, more controlled gate movement on sloping driveways, the dampener delivers.  It absorbs excess motion and ensures your gate operates as it should, even in challenging conditions.

An absolute must-have for gates installed on slopes greater than 2 degrees.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves user safety when operating gates manually
  • Reduces gate bounce on downward travel
  • Extends motor life by minimizing mechanical stress
  • Ensures smooth gate operation on sloping surfaces

Instructions

Installation instructions are included with the product and are easy to follow.  The dampener can be installed in minutes and is compatible with most sliding gate systems.  Make sure to position it correctly based on the gate’s slope and weight for maximum effectiveness.

Sliding Gate Dampener (Brake)

Essential Safety for Sloped Gate Installations

Take control of your gate’s movement with our Sliding Gate Dampener, an essential accessory for any gate installed on an incline.  Designed to provide resistance and slow downhill motion, this dampener prevents gates from running away under their own weight, delivering greater safety and smoother operation every time.

When a gate is installed on a slope, it naturally wants to roll, especially if the clutch disengages or power is lost.  This uncontrolled motion not only poses a risk to people and vehicles but also places unnecessary strain on your gate motor.  The dampener solves this issue by absorbing momentum, controlling descent, and keeping the gate steady, even on steep driveways.

This is more than just a safety upgrade.  It also protects your gate motor from long-term damage.  Sudden impacts and bouncing can wear out internal components or even void your motor’s warranty.  By adding resistance and cushioning the gate’s closing impact, the dampener helps extend your motor’s lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.

Perfect for heavy sliding gates, the dampener is especially effective when slope and gate weight combine to cause excess movement.  Once installed, your gate will operate more smoothly, under control and without surprises.

Key Benefits:

  • Protects people and property during manual operation or power loss
  • Controls gate motion and prevents runaways on sloped surfaces
  • Protects motor components from impact and bounce damage
  • Keeps heavy gates steady without requiring motor power
  • Quick and simple to install
  • Cost-effective safety upgrade for any sloped gate system

Whether you’re installing a new gate or improving an existing setup, the Sliding Gate Dampener offers peace of mind and protects your investment.  It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to enhance the safety and reliability of your sliding gate system.

Don’t wait for an issue to arise, install a dampener now and keep your gate firmly under control.
