Gates that use a rack and pinion to control movement of the slide can be ordered with an electric drive to provide for remote operation. This is accomplished by a C-face motor, gear reducer and sprockets. A TEFC motor is standard with Class IIG as an option. Two Class IIG limit switches are standard and are set to indicate the fully open and fully closed position of the slide. Separate position indicators are optional for use on any manual, air, hydraulic or standard electrically-operated slide gate.

Slide gates that use a linear actuator are available both in an extended and compact style. Two limit switches (SPDT) are built into the actuator for setting the travel limits and to use with a remote indicator. A position indicator is also available as an option as well as operators for use in hazardous locations.
