My experience is as the weather gets colder the rams get slower. I usually up the torque to get round this. The 2 really cold winters where there were sustained temps below zero i gave up.
I have however just placed a ram for these very reasons. Torque was upped but gate still slow or only opening 6 inches. New ram has solved problem but i understand if the capacitors are old they too could be contributory.
No maintence is required fir the rams. A little wd40 or liquid parffin helps with icing of the ram but the worm gear is self lubricating
Good luck
