TAU Gate Motor Product Range
Versatile Sliding Gate Motors
TAU sliding operators cover everything from light residential gates to very heavy industrial systems. Their range is known for adaptability, with compact kits for homes, robust units for commercial entries, and solar-compatible models for rural sites. We size the motor to your gate weight and travel, then set accurate limits and fit quality rack for long-term reliability.
Retrofit-Friendly Swing Gate Operators
TAU swing gate operators include linear arms, articulated arms and underground units, giving flexibility for new installs or retrofitting older gates. Their compact designs make them a strong fit for tricky posts, brick piers or heritage properties. We configure single or double leaves, set stops and hinges, and ensure safety compliance.
Boom Gates and Barriers
TAU barrier arms are designed for car parks, strata complexes and commercial sites. They integrate neatly with vehicle loops, safety beams and timers, and we size arms to lane widths for consistent and safe traffic management.
Control Panels and Receivers
TAU control boards support soft start and stop, safety inputs, and easy add-on receivers for keypads and remotes. Selected models offer advanced programming options, making them adaptable to different access setups.
Safety Sensors and Devices
Matched photocells, safety edges and warning lights help keep every TAU install compliant and user-friendly. We test and position sensors carefully to protect people and vehicles while minimising nuisance stops.
Access and Intercom
TAU systems pair easily with keypads, remotes, fobs and intercoms. We program access levels, auto-close timers and scheduling to suit residential homes, strata complexes and small business properties.
Power and Backup
TAU offers solar-ready kits and battery backup options to keep gates moving during power cuts or at sites where running mains is difficult. We size and install the right backup system for daily reliability.
Why We Recommend TAU Gate Motors on the Central Coast
Salty and Coastal Sites
We specify stainless fixings, UV-stable photocells and sealed cable glands to protect against sea air and salt damage. TAU motors are compact and adaptable, making them easier to weatherproof on coastal installs. We add weather shields and correct drainage to keep control boxes and underground operators protected for the long term.
Long Driveways and Slopes
TAU’s sliding and swing operators are available in a wide range of sizes, making them suitable for everything from small residential gates to heavy commercial entries. Solar-ready kits are ideal for long rural driveways where mains power isn’t practical, and external antennas or long-range remotes make daily use easy.
Power Outages and Blackouts
Selected TAU 24 V systems support battery backup, ensuring gates continue to operate when the power is out. We can program a pedestrian-only opening to conserve battery, test backups during each service, and ensure manual release points are accessible so you’re never stuck inside or out.
