Sliding gate rack adjustment.

Many sliding gates I visit for servicing need the rack adjusted. This is necessary from time to time. The rack needs a little clearance from the pinion, otherwise the motor/gearbox bears the weight of the gate which can stop or impede the gate’s travel. Usually the rack is adjustable with slots but it is a time consuming job and often the adjustment has been taken up fully already so new mounting holes have to be made. Have your gate checked and serviced on a regular basis, maybe yearly.
