Custom gate operator for a rhino enclosure in a Dutch zoo

This application on a rhino enclosure was somewhat unusual. 0.18 kW motors were used and a sturdy chain was selected for power transmission, because the gates also have to stand the strength of the rhinos sometimes.

Additional chain guides were installed to prevent the chain from becoming slack.
