Sterling CO Electric Gate Installation | Ideal Fencing Corp

Agricultural processing facilities near Sterling — grain elevators, sugar beet processing, and cattle operations — use commercial swing gate operators on wide agricultural entrances from 20 to 40 feet. Eastern Plains wind loads require operators with torque ratings appropriate for large panel areas on exposed, unprotected sites.

Yes. Weld and Logan County energy facilities near the I-76 corridor use commercial cantilever or swing gate operators for access to fenced wellpad sites, compressor stations, and pipeline facilities. Solar power or battery backup is often used at remote energy facility locations without grid power.

Sustained wind exposure on the Eastern Plains increases lateral loads on gate post foundations beyond what is required at sheltered Front Range sites. We specify deeper embedment and larger post section sizes for gate foundations on exposed Eastern Plains sites along the I-76 corridor near Sterling.
