This Gemini gate motor kit is the Gemini Slider 500 (7Ah) with 4m of steel rack added, supplied as two 2m lengths, so the motor and the rack for a bare sliding gate come in one order. You also get the control card, power supply, a 12V 8Ah battery, two Gemini 3-button code-hopping remotes and the base plate. Gate already has rack? Take the 7Ah kit without rack. Worried about motor theft? See the 7Ah kit with rack and anti-theft bracket. For a busier gate there is the 12Ah kit with 4m steel rack.

How the Gemini gate motor performs
Gemini rates the Slider 500 for sliding gates up to 500kg, on condition that the gate runs on 80mm roller-bearing wheels. It moves the gate at 26 m/min through a 23:1 gearbox, with 30 kgf starting pull and 17 kgf rated pull, and it is rated for 150 openings a day. With the battery in place, the gate still works in a power cut for as long as the battery has charge. If the gate meets an obstruction while closing, the collision sensing reverses it.
About the 4m steel rack
The rack is fixed along the gate and the motor's pinion drives it. Gemini says steel or nylon rack can be used; this kit comes with steel, in two 2m lengths. If your gate needs more than 4m of rack, add another Gemini 2m steel rack.
What you still need
Rack stoppers, safety beams and the anti-theft bracket are not in this box. Add Gemini infrared wireless beams so the gate has a safety check before it closes, and the Gemini anti-theft bracket to cover the override lever. Gemini gives 24 months on mechanical parts and 12 months on electrical parts, and batteries are not covered. The manual and the 7Ah spec sheet are linked on this page. Alectra Solutions supplies the equipment only, so have the kit fitted by your own gate installer.
