Rotary Gate Systems is a dedicated manufacturer of automatic gate operator systems and accessories, established in the early 2000s by Michael Jones, a veteran and skilled machinist. The company emerged from a need identified by Jones and his team during their extensive experience installing and maintaining gate operator systems along the Florida Gulf Coast. Customers frequently voiced concerns about traditional gate operators and chains deteriorating due to the region's corrosive environment, prompting the need for a more robust solution.
Drawing inspiration from the B52 tail-gun motor that Jones once helped produce for the U.S. Government, the design of Rotary Gate Systems’ operators addresses both security and ease-of-use, catering to a wide range of customers, from individual homeowners to trained maintenance personnel. A significant aspect of the company's mission involves sourcing components primarily from U.S.-based manufacturers, ensuring that the entire product is assembled, tested, and shipped from Pensacola, Florida. This commitment to domestic production reflects Rotary Gate Systems' dedication to maintaining high quality standards and supporting local industry.
The company stands out for its prioritization of veteran employment, providing job opportunities and training for individuals from all branches of the military. By maintaining in-house production and technical support, Rotary Gate Systems ensures that it can uphold the quality of its products while also delivering excellent customer service to its network of dealers and end-users.
Moreover, Rotary Gate Systems is actively involved in promoting safety in the industry. In response to a tragic incident in 2019, where a young boy lost his life due to a gate failure, the company has dedicated efforts toward educating dealers, homeowners, and maintenance staff about the dangers associated with improperly installed gates. As a result, Rotary Gate Systems is not only committed to supplying top-tier gate automation products but also advocating for safety and awareness within the industry.
