2m rail

The 2m Rail (also referred to as a rack rail or gear rack) is a straight, toothed steel or nylon bar used to transmit motion from a sliding gate motor to the gate itself. It serves as the physical interface between the motor’s gear pinion and the sliding gate, allowing precise, smooth, and reliable gate movement.

A 2-meter rail is a standard modular section and can be joined with additional pieces to suit the total length of a gate.
