The adaptability of AKIA wheel-drive automation systems
- All AKIA System drive kits are highly adaptable, meaning that:
- Quick and easy installation with no structural modifications required
- Simple one-step programming, as described in the installation manual
- Suitable for all types of structures, whether already installed or to be installed
- There are no restrictions in terms of the length or weight of the structure (gate, swimming pool enclosure), provided it can be operated manually under normal conditions..
To enjoy the comfort of AKIA wheel-drive systems in all conditions, consider our solar option.

Principle and functioning of AKIA wheeled motor drives AKIA
AKIA wheel-drive automation systems are fast, quiet and reliable, offering outstanding functional performance.
- Our kits perform perfectly on sloping gates, thanks to motor power and excellent wheel grip on the surface.
- There are no restrictions on the opening angle of the gate leaves (up to 180°, or more if the gate design allows it
- Motor-drive kits perform perfectly on all swing gatesswing gates that are too heavy or too wide for arm or ram systems.
- For sliding gates,, no more rack installation or maintenance required!
- Ideal for very light structures (aluminium, PVC), with zero mechanical stress and very easy installation: it is screwed directly into the structure without causing any damage.
- The kit also works on swing gates with leaves that open outward or in both directions.
- An AKIA wheel-drive kit with dual ground-pressure struts is recommended for wind-exposed structures (capable of resisting 100% of thrust forces).
- The kits can be installed on all swing gates with leaves adjacent to a wall that open fully.
All AKIA wheel-drive kits include a cable connecting the motors to the control cabinet, two four-function remote controls, and detailed installation instructions.
We provide dedicated kits designed for collective and industrial use, as well as for time-delayed or automatic closing systems.
Traction of AKIA wheel-drive automation systems
raction is generated by a drive power module attached to the end of every leaf.
The driving force is applied at the correct point and in the right direction. A low-voltage geared electric motor drives a wheel directly mounted on its axle.
This unit is articulated to absorb surface irregularities and differences in level.
Wheel pressure on the ground is provided by a gas strut. This pressure is adjustable, constant, and adapts to all structures, ensuring perfect grip.
As a result, this force reduces stress on the gate leaves and relieves pressure on the gate, whether at rest or in motion, without generating any mechanical stress
This results in extremely smooth operation and a significantly longer lifespan for gates equipped with this automation system, as well as for their fixings
Power of AKIA motors
Motor power is modulated according to requirements, while always remaining sufficient. It adapts to all situations: very light aluminium or PVC gates, as well as fragile or older gates, require no reinforcement. Our system supports them while relieving stress and can be screwed directly onto the structure without causing any damage
Electrically operated
The entire installation operates on low voltage. It is self-sufficient thanks to its battery system. Power is supplied by a dual source—transformer and batteries—for 230 V supply systems, and by battery reserves for sliding gates and solar-powered options. In the event of a mains power failure, the battery reserves guarantee normal operation for several days, ensuring continued comfort.
