Wow, I didn't know you needed so much security in the US! I'm in South Africa and crime is rife - and it is not petty stuff. Our first line of defense is a walled property - generally with electric fencing on top and an automatic gate. Our first issue tends to be the guys getting through the gate.

Wow, very interesting to see the progression. Great pics!

Besides duty cycles, you also need to consider the size and weight of the gate. If it is a large gate (i.e. not a normal residential gate), then rather go for a heavy duty model. You don't want to constantly have to fix it.

One thing you MUST make sure of is that the motor has good local support. It is really irritating if you have an obscure make and can't get parts when something breaks.
