Hi! I want to put myself a linear actuator on the sliding gate to the cottage. I looked in the internet, there are a lot of offers and the prices are very different. Maybe there are people here who understand this and can advise me what type of actuator is better, manufacturer and where to buy? I will be very grateful.

5Kw Yanmar clone single cylinder air cooled diesel generator for rare emergency charging and welding. -
For any distance over a couple feet, Which it sounds like you have with a sliding gate you might look into chain drive openers.
2.1 Kw Suntech 175 mono, Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 ( 15 years old but brand new out of sealed factory box Jan. 2015), Bogart Tri-metric, 460 Ah. 24 volt LiFePo4 battery bank. Plenty of Baja Sea of Cortez sunshine.

I used a garage door opener (chain drive) to open a sliding gate many years ago...
