Heavy-Duty Sliding Gate Motors in Kenya
Factory, warehouse, school and estate gates are heavier and open far more often than home gates. They need an industrial motor with a higher duty cycle. These are the heavy-duty sliding motors we supply and install, from KES 99,600.
Industrial motors we supply
Centurion D10 and D10 Turbo are the usual choice for commercial gates, the D20 for very heavy gates, and FAAC industrial motors (such as the FAAC 950, rated to 3,500 kg) for the heaviest.

What makes a motor "industrial"
- Capacity — rated for gates of 1,000 kg and more.
- Duty cycle — built to open and close many times an hour without overheating.
- Speed — Turbo versions open faster, useful at busy entrances.
- Integration — access control, loop detectors, traffic lights and intercoms.
Every price here is our current store price. For supply and installation we visit the site first (free in Nairobi), then send an itemised quote: motor, rack or brackets, safety beams, remotes, cabling and labour.
How getting your gate automated works
- Free site surveyA Qyvea technician checks the gate weight and track, the power point and where the beams go. The gate must run freely by hand first; we tell you if it needs fixing.
- Itemised quoteYou get every line in writing: motor, rack or brackets, safety beams, remotes, cabling and labour. No surprises on the day.
- Install & hand-overWe fit and test the motor, set the limits and auto-close, pair your remotes or app, and show you the manual release for power cuts.
