Before you spend money on a gateway, it helps to see what the job actually costs you now. These articles use the numbers from ControlAg trials, not guesses.
UpGate is a patented, solar-powered automated farm gate that lifts electrified bungy cords overhead. Farmers operate it from up to 100 metres away and use the same opening for vehicles and cattle.
A cost comparison between automated options, a case study from daily farm use, and the maintenance the unit actually needs.
Every figure comes from ControlAg trial data or published pricing. Where a number rests on an assumption, we say so.
