520 mm Aluminium Pillar Support Post for Gate Photocells. Motorline MFSUP Photocell Support Column
Motorline MFSUP Photocell Support Column (520mm)Premium aluminum pillar engineered with integrated protective cover and hidden ground fixings to ensure optimal alignment and long-term protection on commercial and residential automated gates.
The Motorline MFSUP Photocell Support Post is a 520mm aluminium mounting pillar specifically engineered to optimise the height, positioning, and physical protection of photo-electric safety beams on automatic gates.
In high-traffic commercial and industrial sites—as well as premium residential properties—gate safety sensors are essential to protect vehicles, pedestrians, and equipment from accidental impact. However, mounting photocells directly onto uneven walls or gate posts can create misalignments or vulnerable blind spots.
Standing at an ideal 520mm height, the MFSUP provides a rigid, weather-protected platform. Placed on the inside run of sliding or swing gates, it enables early obstacle detection prior to gate movement, eliminating unexpected accidents while giving your installation a clean, professional finish.
520mm Standard Safety Height: Designed at 520mm to position photocells precisely at standard vehicular bumper and chassis height for reliable obstacle detection.
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Pillar: Constructed from durable aluminium to withstand severe weather conditions, moisture, and long-term outdoor exposure without degrading.
Integrated Top Protective Cover: Features a specialised top shield that protects the mounted photocell housing against direct sun exposure, rain, falling debris, and physical impacts.
Movable Base for Concealed Fixing: Includes an adjustable base sleeve that slides down over ground bolts to completely conceal fixings, preventing tampering and providing a seamless appearance.
Early Detection Positioning: Allows safety beams to be placed further inside the property perimeter, catching approaching vehicles and pedestrians before gate contact occurs.
Universal Photocell Compatibility: Native integration with Motorline MF30, MFE, and MFSE12 retro-reflective mirror systems, as well as most standard infrared safety sensors.
Equipped with a top protective cover and an aluminium body, the MFSUP defends sensitive optical sensors from harsh Australian UV rays, downpours, and physical impacts.
The movable plastic base slides up during installation to allow easy anchoring to concrete footings, then slides down to lock in place—hiding all ground screws, wiring entry points, and mounting brackets.
Installing the 520mm post inside the gate boundary creates a protective safety curtain, detecting obstacles before the gate arm or panel moves toward them.
Ideal for tight driveways, commercial loading bays, and site boundaries where wall mounting is unfeasible or visually unappealing.

The MFSUP post stands at 520mm high. This optimal height aligns perfectly with vehicular bumpers, chassis lines, and pedestrian movement paths for safety detection.
The post features a sliding plastic base cover. During installation, you lift the base to access the floor mounting holes and secure the post with bolts. Once fixed and wired, the base slides down flush to the ground to completely hide all screws and anchor points.
The post includes an integrated top protective cover that shields the installed photocell unit from direct sunlight, rain, and overhead impacts, as well as an aluminium body that resists rust and corrosion.
Yes. While optimised for Motorline photocells (such as the MF30, MFE, and MFSE12 mirror systems), its flat mounting plate and internal wire passage suit most standard 12V/24V safety infrared beams.
Yes. The aluminium pillar structure is built for high-use commercial entry points, industrial parks, apartment complexes, and residential driveways where safety compliance, physical durability, and neat aesthetics are required.
