Key Features

• 100% Duty Cycle — Rated for continuous use with no cool-down period — right for high-traffic commercial entrances and busy residential properties alike.
• High Gate Capacity — Up to 2,000 lbs at 10 ft and 800 lbs at 18 ft. Handles heavy ornamental iron and commercial-grade panels without strain.
• ETL and UL Listed — Required on many commercial jobs; increasingly expected for residential insurance compliance.
• V-Flex Control Board with LCD Display — Simplifies setup and troubleshooting; speed dial lets you tune gate travel to your gate's weight and geometry.
• Built-In Lightning & Surge Protection — Rated at 10,000 amps / 20,000 volts — especially valuable in Houston and the Gulf Coast.
