It suits properties where a visible surface-mounted arm isn't wanted, or where the gate posts and pillars are already built without space for one.

Qyvea installs the Nova as part of our [Automatic Gate Installation](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates) service -- see our [behind-the-scenes quality checks](https://qyvea.co.ke/projects#gate-motor-feature) on gate motor kits before installation. Support ## Maintenance & support Underground swing operators benefit from periodic checks of the housing seal, hydraulic or mechanical components and control board, since the mechanism sits below ground level. Qyvea offers ongoing [automatic gate maintenance](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gate-maintenance-kenya), whether it was installed by us or someone else. FAQ ## CENTURION Nova Swing Motor questions Why choose an underground swing motor over a visible arm? It keeps the gate's appearance unchanged and works well where the gate posts don't have room for a surface-mounted arm bracket -- a common consideration on more architecturally finished properties. What size gate does the Nova single-arm suit? A single gate leaf up to 3m wide and 500kg. For a double (two-leaf) swing gate, the dual-arm Nova version is used instead. Is underground installation more complex than a surface-mounted motor? Yes -- it requires a below-ground housing installed at the hinge point, which is more involved than fitting a visible arm bracket, but the trade-off is a cleaner finished appearance. Does Qyvea install this motor, or only sell it? Both. Buy it alone for your own installer, or have Qyvea supply and install it as part of a full automatic gate project. What does swing gate motor installation cost in Kenya? Cost depends on the gate, ground/foundation work needed for the underground housing, and site accessibility.
