I have installed a few using kit from Proteco

Gates are fun - its better to install them in June than October though!!

TTC is it standard policy to provide means of isolation close to the gate?

You often see red and yellow rotary isolators near the motor, this is for locking off whilst servicing the unit.

Usually isolators are inside the gate automation box which is locked. This stops the bad men from messing with your security - if that matters to you.

You do need an isolator somewhere, though!
