Jay:
I used to work on electric gates, but infrequently. One gate I had worked
on closed on a client's truck and caused extensive damage. Fortunately I
had previously informed the client that the gates was unsafe and should be
disabled, so I was not held liable.
I decided at that time that occasional work on electric gates would not
provide me with the proper expertise to avoid the possibility of serious
accidents. Working with a "cobbled" gate actuator may also open liability
exposure. If it were me, I would insist on a purpose-built gate package,
not Rube Goldberg parts.
