Nice Robus 400 Sliding Gate Kit – Reliable Power for Heavy Residential Gates
The Nice Robus 400 kg sliding gate kit is a trusted Italian-made gate motor, well established in the New Zealand market. Designed for most residential gates, this system offers strong, reliable performance – especially on driveways with a slope.
This kit includes everything you need to get your gate moving:
- 4 x 1-metre galvanised gear racks (4m total)
- 2 x remote controls
- Manual release keys
- Motor base mounting pad
It’s ready to go out of the box, with optional extras like safety photocells, flashing lights, or smartphone modules available if you want to expand your system later.
Built for Strength and Reliability
Many residential gates in New Zealand weigh under 150kg. The Robus 400 kg sliding motor easily handles these gates and has the strength for heavier setups too. Whether your gate is made from aluminium or steel, this motor is ready for the job.
It’s also a proven performer on sloped driveways, where extra force is required to push the gate uphill. Note that any slope increases the effective weight the motor needs to handle. (Effective gate weight is the weight plus gravity.)
Below is a quick guide for the Robus 400:
| Rise Over 3m | Effective Weight Limit |
|---|---|
| 50mm | 250kg |
| 100mm | 170kg |
| 150mm | 135kg |
If your gate sits on a steeper slope than this, contact us—we can supply more powerful motors on request.
Safe and Smart Gate Automation
The Robus 400 is packed with smart features:
- Obstacle detection: Automatically stops or reverses the gate if something is in the way.
- Manual override: In a power cut, use the included key to unlock the gate.
- Smooth, quiet operation: Opens and closes gently with minimal noise.
You can also add optional accessories like:
- Photocells for added safety
- Flashing lights
- Keypad entry
- Smartphone app control
- Solar power options
These extras can be added now or later, making this a flexible, future-proof solution.
Gate Dampener for Slopes
If your gate travels downhill, we strongly recommend adding a gate dampener. It slows the gate’s descent, prevents bounce during the downward travel and stops the gate from running away if the motor is put into manual mode. A dampener is a small investment that makes a big difference in both safety and motor longevity.
