Cool Entrance Gate

Cool, but they freeze up if you live up north and if you are pulling a gooseneck expect the gate to close on your trailer.

 

Yeah they wouldn't work for everyone but I like that they don't require electricity

With a remote solonoid to catch it at full open, and release through a shock absorber so it doesnt slam.

because i saw the problem with trailers, too.

My electric gate is solar, and a cheapest of the cheap car battery lasted 7 years. Ran outta water because i never had to pay it much attention. Seals and bushings looked great when i take the trash out. New battery, added some oil and grease. 2 watch batteries/year for the remotes. No regerts, cause my other gate is manual.
