A sliding gate motor from CENTURION, a well-established gate automation brand, built for gates up to 500kg with a built-in controller and standard safety features -- a common choice for home and small commercial sliding gates in Kenya.
The D5-Evo is a sliding gate motor rated for gates up to 500kg, with a built-in control board rather than a separate control box, and standard safety features to stop or reverse the gate if it meets an obstruction. It suits a typical home or small commercial sliding gate rather than heavy industrial gates, which usually need a higher-capacity motor like the CENTURION D10 or a FAAC industrial unit.
The most common application -- automating an existing or new sliding gate.
Light commercial sliding gates within the 500kg range.
A dependable, well-known brand for a motor swap.
Specified alongside a new sliding gate build.
A widely serviceable brand with available spare parts in Kenya.
Can be paired with a solar trickle-charge panel for power reliability.

The CENTURION D5-Evo Sliding Motor is one part of a bigger picture -- here's how it connects to the rest of what Qyvea offers.
Gate motor installation involves mounting the motor, wiring it to a power supply, fitting safety sensors and setting the travel limits correctly. Qyvea installs the D5-Evo as part of our Automatic Gate Installation service -- see our behind-the-scenes quality checks on a gate motor kit before it ever reaches a client site.
Gate motors need periodic checks of the chain or rack, safety sensor alignment and control board condition, especially with daily use. Qyvea offers ongoing automatic gate maintenance, whether the motor was installed by us or someone else.
It's rated for sliding gates up to 500kg, which covers most home and small commercial gates. Heavier or industrial gates typically need a higher-capacity motor such as the CENTURION D10 or a FAAC industrial unit.
No -- the control board is built into the motor unit itself, which simplifies installation compared to motors requiring a separate controller.
The motor includes obstruction-detection safety features that stop or reverse the gate, though correct installation of additional safety beams is also recommended for full compliance and safety.
Both. Buy it alone for your own installer, or have Qyvea supply and install it as part of a full automatic gate project.
Cost depends on the gate itself, whether new safety sensors or wiring are needed, and site accessibility. Qyvea provides a free site survey and itemised quote alongside the motor price.
KES 60,000 unit price. Free site survey if you'd like Qyvea to supply and install the full gate automation.
