800kg vs 1000kg Sliding Gate Motor: Buyer Selection Guide

Quick answer: Choose the BS-BG800 when the project uses a residential or light-commercial sliding gate up to 800 kg and smooth, moderate-speed operation is the priority. Choose a BGH Series model when the gate is up to 1000 kg and the entrance requires faster opening for commercial traffic.

Gate weight alone is not enough. Buyers should also confirm gate length, track condition, wind load, opening frequency, required speed, input voltage, safety devices and backup-power requirements before ordering.

Verified Model Comparison

Model	Maximum gate weight	Motor output	Rated power	Travel speed	Typical selection direction
BS-BG800	800 kg	24V DC	110 W	12 m/min	Residential and light-commercial gates requiring smooth, moderate-speed operation
BGH-18M	1000 kg	24V DC	250 W	18 m/min	Commercial entrances requiring faster opening
BGH-24M	1000 kg	24V DC	300 W	24 m/min	High-speed vehicle access projects
BGH-36M	1000 kg	24V DC	350 W	36 m/min	Fastest listed BGH variant; final safety and control configuration must be confirmed for the site

Specifications describe the listed configurations. Final suitability and accessories must be confirmed against the actual gate and project conditions.

When an 800kg Sliding Gate Motor Is the Better Choice

BS-BG800 is designed for sliding gates up to 800 kg. Its 24V DC drive, 110 W rated power and 12 m/min travel speed make it suitable for villas, small communities, private parking entrances and light-commercial access points.

It is the practical choice when:

• The gate is within the stated 800 kg limit and has an appropriate safety margin.
• Smooth daily access matters more than very high opening speed.
• The project requires low-noise operation.
• A battery-ready 24V DC configuration is preferred.
• The buyer wants spring-limit or magnetic-limit options.

The BS-BG800 public specification also lists an IP55 enclosure, an operating range from -30°C to +65°C and noise of no more than 50 dB under specified conditions.

When a 1000kg High-Speed Motor Is the Better Choice

The BGH Series is intended for sliding gates up to 1000 kg and offers 18, 24 and 36 m/min variants. It is more suitable for commercial entrances where reducing vehicle waiting time is important.

Consider the BGH Series when:

• The gate is heavier than the recommended range for an 800 kg operator.
• The entrance requires faster opening and closing.
• The project is a commercial parking entrance, logistics access point, factory entrance or other controlled vehicle lane.
• The system integrator can confirm the correct safety devices and control logic for the selected speed.

Higher speed should not be selected only for marketing value. Gate stability, obstacle detection, photocells, safety edges, emergency release and installation quality must be reviewed as part of the complete system.

Why Gate Weight Is Not the Only Selection Factor

1. Gate length and mechanical condition

A long gate can create greater mechanical load even when its measured weight is within the motor rating. Inspect the wheels, track, rack alignment, guide rollers and gate balance before selecting the operator.

2. Opening speed

BS-BG800 travels at 12 m/min. The BGH Series offers 18, 24 or 36 m/min. Faster travel can improve traffic efficiency, but it requires a suitable gate structure, safe control configuration and professional installation.

3. Daily operating frequency

Tell the supplier the expected number of opening cycles and the busiest operating period. This helps confirm the motor, control board and accessory configuration without making assumptions from gate weight alone.

4. Power and backup requirements

Both product families use 24V DC motor output. Confirm the available site input voltage, battery-backup requirement and charging accessories in the RFQ.

5. Safety and access-control integration

Confirm whether the project requires photocells, safety edges, warning lights, loop detectors, remote controls, keypad access, RFID, ANPR or connection to a parking-management system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an 800kg motor on a gate that weighs exactly 800kg?

800 kg is the stated maximum for BS-BG800. Actual selection must also consider gate length, track resistance, wind load, slope and opening frequency. A suitable safety margin is recommended.

Is a 1000kg motor always better than an 800kg motor?

No. A higher rating and faster speed can increase cost and system requirements without adding value to a smaller residential gate. Select the model that matches the real gate, traffic and safety conditions.

Which model is suitable for a high-traffic commercial entrance?

The BGH Series is the stronger starting point because it offers 18, 24 and 36 m/min variants for gates up to 1000 kg. The final model and safety package must be confirmed using site data.

Can the motors connect to ANPR or access-control systems?

Integration can be configured through the control system and selected accessories. Provide the required trigger signal, controller type and project architecture when requesting a quotation.

Does Baisen Access support OEM and project supply?

Yes. BAISEN ACCESS supports distributors, gate installers, system integrators and project buyers with model selection, OEM branding, packaging coordination, spare-parts planning and export shipment support. Final configuration is confirmed according to the order and project requirements.
