FAAC is a large Italian name in gate automation, and it's especially well known for hydraulic gate motors. There are a lot of FAAC gates in Cumbria, and I repair them all – hydraulic and electromechanical, swing and sliding, whoever fitted them.
FAAC hydraulic motors
Hydraulic motors are tough, but they need the right care. Common issues I see:
- oil leaks around the ram or seals
- loss of pressure – the gate moves slowly, weakly or not at all
- jerky or noisy movement, often from air in the system or low oil
- the gate won't hold shut or open in the wind
These need a specialist. Please don't top up or bleed a hydraulic system yourself.
FAAC Gate Repairs in Carlisle
FAAC systems are common across Carlisle and Cumbria, and many of them are hydraulic. We repair FAAC gates whoever installed them, including leaking rams, loss of pressure, faulty control boards and remotes that no longer work.
Hydraulic motors need a different approach from electromechanical ones, and we have the experience to work on both.
Fixing FAAC Hydraulic and Electromechanical Gate Motors
We'll diagnose the fault on site, explain what's wrong and give you a price before we start.
Once the repair is done, we check the forces and safety devices so your FAAC gate is safe, smooth and reliable. That's how we finish every job, on every brand, across Carlisle and Cumbria.
Other FAAC repairs
- electromechanical swing and sliding gate motors
- control boards – water, surge and component faults
- photocells and safety edges
- remotes, receivers and keypads
Repair or upgrade?
Well-maintained FAAC hydraulics can run for years. Where a system is very old and parts are scarce, I'll give you the honest options – including a modern CAME replacement, which we install. See repair or replace?
Call or WhatsApp Adrian on 07854 037752 – a photo of the motors and a short video of the gate help me bring the right parts.
Questions people ask me
Can you repair FAAC hydraulic gate motors?
Yes – including leaks, pressure issues and worn seals.
My FAAC gate is leaking oil. Is that serious?
It needs looking at soon. Low oil can damage the motor and stop the gate holding properly.
Do you supply FAAC remotes?
For most FAAC systems, yes.
