SWING GATE OPERATORS

(MOTORS)

As their name suggests, swing gate openers drive swing gates. There are 3 types of swing gate openers: the first and most reliable one is the box-type opener which consists of a large box on the side of the gate with an arm coming out of it that pulls the gate to open (see picture above). The second is the arm-type opener which is installed on the gate itself and moves with the gate as it opens and closes. This opener has a rear bracket on the (back) post of the gate and one front-bracket on the gate itself allowing the drive to leverage between the front and the back. Within this category there are sub categories starting with most popular, the screw-drive (see the LA-500 or the Viking G-5). After that there's the hydraulic arm such as the FAAC-400 or lastly the electro-mechanical arm such as the FAAC S418. The third type of opener and by far the most challenging is the underground gate opener which is a little more complex to install but once you do it looks amazing. Whichever you choose we're here to help you decide.
