Industrial Motors

There are many gate motors on the market, most of them imported. The main problem with most of them is that there are simply too many for us to keep all the parts and also to be experts on all of them. For this reason we prefer to stick to the two main local motors for which we carry all the parts and are very experienced with. They are the Centurion and ET Nice range. They have both, like us, been in the industry for many years. For interest I list some of the motors on the SA market.
