The Gemini Slider 800 is Gemini's 24V smart sliding gate motor for gates up to 800kg at complexes, estates, businesses and light industrial sites. It is rated for 400 openings a day at up to 23 m/min, and it comes with the Gemlink Smart device fitted inside the motor, so you can open the gate and see who came and went from your phone. Every kit comes with the motor, two 12V 8Ah batteries, two Gemini 3-button remotes, gearbox oil and the base plate.

Which kit do you need?

  • Basic kit: Slider 800 motor with Gemlink Smart fitted, 2 x 12V 8Ah batteries, 2 Gemini 3-button remotes, 50ml gearbox oil and the base plate. A good fit if your gate already has a rack in good condition.
  • Kit with anti-theft bracket: everything in the basic kit, plus the Gemini anti-theft bracket. It is 5mm electroplated steel, makes the motor harder to take by force and guards the red release lever.
  • Full kit with anti-theft bracket and steel rack: everything in the bracket kit, plus 4m of Gemini steel rack (2 x 2m). Everything for a gate that has no rack yet.

Gate longer than 4m? Add extra lengths of Gemini 2m steel rack, or use nylon rack if you would rather screw it on than weld.

Built for gates that work all day

Gemini rates the Slider 800 for gates up to 800kg and 400 openings a day, with 33 kgf starting pull and 18 kgf rated pull through a 23:1 oil-filled gearbox. That suits a complex or estate entrance, a business or a light industrial yard where the gate never really rests. For a family home with a gate up to 500kg, the Gemini Slider 500 or Slider 500+ is the better fit.

Gemlink Smart included

The Gemlink Smart device plugs into the comm port and connects over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In the free Gemlink app you get live gate status, light control, access logs and smartphone control, and you can share gate access with up to 30 users without paying for a plan. For remote access away from the gate, the Gemlink needs Wi-Fi at the gate.

24V battery backup

Two 12V 8Ah batteries are wired in series to give 24V. They drive the motor while the mains supply keeps them charged, so the gate keeps working through load shedding for as long as the batteries have charge. Gemini lists the Slider 800 as lithium compatible as well.

Going solar

The Slider 800 is solar compatible with Gemini's 24V solar adaptor board, which lets the batteries charge from mains, solar or both. The Gemini Slider 800 smart solar kit comes with an 80W panel and the 24V adaptor board.

Safety and everyday features

Obstruction sensing is electronically adjustable and works in both directions, with an input for infrared safety beams. There is also auto-close (2 to 60 seconds), a pedestrian opening, townhouse mode, a courtesy light connection and an onboard receiver for 30 remotes. Residents can use Gemini 3-button remotes or the app.

Gemini's installation manual and spec sheet are linked on this page, and you can compare the whole range on our Gemini gate motors page. Alectra Solutions supplies the equipment only, so have the motor fitted by your own gate installer.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between the three kits?

All three have the Slider 800 motor with Gemlink Smart fitted, 2 x 12V 8Ah batteries, 2 Gemini 3-button remotes, 50ml gearbox oil and the base plate. The kit with anti-theft bracket adds the Gemini anti-theft bracket. The full kit adds the bracket and a 4m steel rack (2 x 2m) for a gate that has no rack yet.

Is the Slider 800 the same as the Gemini 24V Complex?

Yes. Gemini now calls its 24V Complex slider the Slider 800. The 800 refers to the 800kg gate limit.

What does the Gemlink Smart app do?

It opens and closes the gate from your phone over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, shows live gate status, controls a connected light, keeps access logs of who opened the gate and when, and lets you share access. It is free for up to 30 users.

Why does this gate motor have two batteries?

The Slider 800 runs on 24V, so two 12V 8Ah batteries are wired in series. The mains supply keeps them charged, and they keep the gate working when the power goes off.

Is the Slider 800 for a house or a complex?

Gemini rates it for light industrial use: gates up to 800kg and 400 openings a day, which suits complexes, estates and businesses. For a home gate up to 500kg, the Gemini Slider 500 or 500+ is the usual choice.

Can the Gemini Slider 800 run on solar power?

Yes. It is solar compatible with Gemini's 24V solar adaptor board, and the batteries then charge from mains, solar or both. The Gemini Slider 800 smart solar kit comes with an 80W panel and the 24V adaptor board.

Will the gate stop if it hits a car or a person?

The obstruction sensing is electronically adjustable and works in both directions. On a busy complex gate, fit infrared safety beams across the entrance as well.

What warranty does Gemini give?

24 months on mechanical parts and 12 months on electrical and electronic parts. Batteries are not covered. Register the motor with Gemini, because the warranty only applies to registered products.
