Automatic Drive-Thru Gate

Automatic Drive-Through Gate

It is more work than you think climbing on and off tractors to open and close gates. The automatic drive-through gate is spring loaded so when a tractor or vehicle pushes on it, the gate swings open to let the farmer drive through without climbing off the tractor to open the gate. The springs close the gate once the tractor is through. The automatic drive-through gate is electrified to keep cattle from pushing it open, but green parts of the gate are safe to touch by hand-not electrified. The gates can swing both directions and are adjustable from 13 to 19 feet wide.
