Choices of gate operators consist of slide gate operators, swing gate operators, vertical pivot gate operators, and barrier gates.   These operators come in various models, such as electro-mechanical and hydraulic, and a wide variety of sizes, voltages, and phases.  The size of the operator, usually measured in horsepower,
is established by the size and weight of the gate, and the intended frequency of use.  Electrical requirements are determined by the available power supply.
