Our Service Process
Professional gate automation requires careful planning, precise installation, and strict adherence to safety standards. We prioritize each phase to deliver reliable and secure access control solutions for fleet and logistics facilities.
We start by conducting a thorough site assessment to evaluate traffic patterns, space requirements, and operational needs. Our team measures gate openings, identifies utility locations, and determines the most suitable automation system for your facility.
We create detailed CAD drawings showing gate placement, operator locations, and safety device positioning. This planning phase includes selecting appropriate motors based on gate weight and usage frequency.
Each design factors in specific environmental conditions like wind loads and terrain variations. We specify safety features, access control systems, and backup power solutions to ensure continuous operation.
Project Consultation
We begin installation by establishing proper foundations and ensuring correct gate alignment. Our certified technicians mount operators at optimal heights and positions for smooth operation.
Every connection is properly sealed against moisture and weather exposure. We use industrial-grade wiring with appropriate conduit protection throughout the installation.
Our team calibrates limit switches, torque settings, and obstacle detection systems for precise operation. We install backup batteries and ensure proper grounding of all electrical components.
Installation
We integrate UL325-compliant safety devices including photoelectric sensors and edge sensors at all pinch points. Our installations meet ASTM F2200 standards for automated gate construction and operation.
Each system includes clearly marked emergency stop buttons and manual release mechanisms. We install warning signs and safety instructions at required locations around the gate area.
Regular testing procedures verify proper function of all safety devices. Our team documents all safety compliance measures and provides comprehensive operation training for facility staff.

FAQs About Fleet & Logistics Center Gate Automation
Our expert technicians deliver comprehensive gate automation solutions focused on maximizing security, efficiency, and reliability for fleet and logistics operations.
How much time can automated gates save per vehicle entry compared to manual gates?
Automated gates save an average of 45-90 seconds per vehicle entry/exit compared to manual systems. For facilities handling 100+ daily vehicle movements, this translates to 75-150 hours of cumulative time saved monthly. High-traffic logistics centers can reduce vehicle processing time by up to 80%, significantly decreasing congestion during peak periods and optimizing fleet schedules.
Can automated gates integrate with our fleet management software?
Yes, our automated gate systems seamlessly integrate with most major fleet management platforms including Fleetio, Samsara, Verizon Connect, and custom TMS solutions. We implement API connections that enable real-time data exchange for vehicle tracking, driver identification, entry/exit timestamps, and automated reporting. This integration creates a closed-loop system that eliminates manual record-keeping and provides accurate dwell-time analytics.
How much does it cost to automate existing gates at a fleet facility?
Automating existing gates at a fleet facility typically costs between $7,500-$22,000 per entrance, depending on gate size, desired throughput capacity, and access control requirements. Basic RFID systems start at $7,500, while comprehensive solutions with license plate recognition, driver biometrics, and TMS integration range from $15,000-$22,000. Most logistics centers see complete ROI within 12-18 months through reduced labor costs and operational efficiencies.
How long does it take to install automated gates at a logistics center?
Standard gate automation installations at logistics centers are completed within 3-5 business days. Complex multi-lane projects may require 5-7 days. Our process includes controller installation, sensor placement, access control integration, and comprehensive testing. We maintain detailed project timelines and provide daily progress updates to ensure predictable completion without unexpected delays.
Can gates be installed with minimal disruption to our operations?
Absolutely. We specifically design our installation process to minimize operational disruption. We perform the majority of electrical and foundation work outside normal delivery hours, implement temporary access plans during critical installation phases, and schedule gate commissioning during your facility's lowest-traffic periods. Our staged implementation approach ensures at least one entrance remains operational throughout the entire installation process.
