ⓘ Any value you edit updates the other. Height (mm) = width (mm) × tan(angle).
Angle = arctan(height / width)

🔧 Wheeled Gate – No Friction
Motor force = m·g·sinθ (g = 9.81).
Apparent total weight = mass + (motor force / 9.81) — shows how heavy the gate is when moving uphill.
Please add an extra 5% as a safety margin for your installation.
