Product Overview

SOMMER GIGAslide 1800 is a heavy-duty sliding gate motor for gates weighing up to 1,800 kg. It is suitable for Abu Dhabi industrial entrances, large residential gates, commercial access points, and heavy sliding gate systems that require strong torque and reliable operation. The operator uses the GIGAcontrol A automatic control system, SOMloq2 radio technology, and a 868.95 MHz SOMup4 S2 receiver. With IP44 protection, up to 240 mm/s opening speed, and soft start/soft stop operation, this motor is designed for powerful and controlled gate movement.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

SOMMER GIGAslide 1800 is compatible with sliding gates up to 1,800 kg and a travel path up to 18 m when the gate structure, steel rack, foundation, control wiring, photocells, safety contact strips, and emergency stop devices are correctly installed. Active safety contact strips must be used on the main and auxiliary closing edges, and gates above 600 kg must use steel racks. Professional installation is strongly recommended because torque, travel limits, safety inputs, radio programming, soft running, and emergency release functions must be configured and tested correctly. For more technical details, refer to the official SOMMER product page.

Yes — the SOMMER GIGAslide 1800’s 120 Nm maximum torque is the highest published torque figure for any sliding gate motor in the POWERgate Abu Dhabi range. Most heavy commercial motors publish thrust in Newtons; the GIGAslide 1800’s 120 Nm at the gearbox output shaft, combined with 240 mm/s (14.4 m/min) gate speed, reflects the German-engineered mechanical advantage designed for reliably starting and sustaining movement of an 1800 kg gate on an 18m industrial track in Abu Dhabi.

SOMloq2 is SOMMER’s proprietary rolling-code radio protocol at 868.95 MHz, paired with the included SOMup4 S2 plug-in receiver. The base receiver stores 40 radio commands. The Memo memory extension slot allows a SOMMER Memo card to expand remote storage up to 450 commands without replacing the receiver. For Abu Dhabi industrial or compound gates where many vehicles or personnel require individual radio access, the Memo extension provides this capacity with a simple plug-in card.

The SOMMER GIGAslide 1800’s dead-man function (also called man-dead or hold-to-run) requires the operator to continuously hold a control button for the gate to move. The gate stops immediately when the button is released. This mode is used during commissioning, maintenance, or slow manual movement verification when safety devices such as photocells are not yet active or are temporarily bypassed. It is a standard EN safety requirement for powered gate commissioning and is explicitly built into the GIGAcontrol A system.

SOMMER specifies two installation requirements: steel rack is mandatory for gates above 600 kg — nylon rack cannot withstand the forces of an 1800 kg gate under sustained cycling or emergency braking. Additionally, active safety contact strips must be installed on both the main and auxiliary closing edges. Passive safety edges that only detect contact after impact are insufficient; active strips detect pressure before full closure. Both requirements apply directly to Abu Dhabi industrial gate installations and must be met before the GIGAslide 1800 is commissioned.

The SOMMER GIGAslide 1800 operates from -25°C to +65°C — a wide range reflecting its German engineering for extreme climate conditions. For Abu Dhabi, the +65°C ceiling provides headroom above typical summer peak pillar temperatures. Standard packing contains only: 1× GIGAslide 1800 operator, 1× GIGAcontrol A motor control unit, and 1× SOMup4 S2 receiver. All other accessories — steel rack, photocells, safety contact strips, remotes, blinker, and foundation — must be sourced separately.
