Busy commercial gates
Airport parking, hotels and yards around Gatwick depend on gates and barriers that cycle constantly. Heavy use wears motors, rollers and safety devices quickly, so these need servicing every few months and a fast fix when they fail. Tell us in the form if it's a commercial site.
Low-lying, heavy clay
Horley is low-lying on heavy Weald clay, and parts of the area are prone to surface flooding after heavy rain. That's hard on underground motors, whose boxes fill when the ground can't drain. Keeping box drains clear helps; where flooding keeps happening, above-ground motors are often the more reliable choice.

Horley: questions
Should I avoid underground motors in Horley?
Not necessarily, but they need well-drained boxes. If yours have flooded more than once, ask the engineer whether ram or arm motors would suit your gates better.
