How does an UpGate® compare with a cattle grid?
A cattle grid serves vehicles, while cattle still need a separate gate. UpGate lets vehicles and cattle use the same gateway, and two units can create a 15 metre opening for $5,800 excluding GST.

UpGate Large gives extra clearance for tractors, loaders, sprayers and telehandlers. It is solar powered, operated by remote from the cab, and connects to the electric fence you already run. Operate it from the cab, keep the opening clear until you choose to close it, and use the same gateway for vehicles and cattle.

Common questions
Short answers to the practical checks farmers make before changing a gateway.
How does an UpGate® compare with a solar swing gate?
Solar swing gates need room to sweep and suit farm entrances. UpGate lifts cords overhead, suits internal cattle gateways, and stays open until you close it.
How many UpGate®s can one remote control operate?
One 8-button remote can activate unlimited UpGates, and each unit stores up to 32 remotes. The stated remote range is up to 100 metres.
What happens when it gets covered in mud? Will it jam?
The runner wheels sit inside the track with clearance around them. A dairy-farm unit completed 2,000 operations over more than 18 months without jamming.
