Gate hinge and method for mounting gate opener

A lifting gate comprising:

• a barrier member having a top and a bottom opposite thereof;
• a top bracket assembly coupled to said top of said barrier member, said top bracket assembly including a top bearing coupled to a top bracket and a top hinge support coupled to said top bearing;
• a bottom bracket coupled to said bottom of said barrier member, having a body defined by a first bracket end and a second bracket end and a central bracket portion between said first and second bracket ends, said bottom bracket coupled to said bottom of said barrier member proximate said first bracket end;
• a bottom bearing coupled to said bottom bracket proximate said second bracket end;
• a bottom hinge support having a first support end and a second support end opposite thereof and a central support portion between said first and second support ends, said bottom hinge support being coupled to said bottom bearing proximate said second support end;
• a gate drive operatively coupled to a secondary gate drive, said gate drive being coupled to said bottom hinge support and said secondary gate drive being coupled to said bottom bracket;
• and
• a torsion biasing member coupled to said bottom hinge support and coupled to said top bracket.
