2160 Swing Gate Operators

The 2160 Series Operators are designed to operate vehicular swing gates in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for both single and bi-parting gates. These operators swing gates 90° in approximately 10–12 seconds and are rated for Class I, II, III, and IV operation.

Each unit uses a durable harmonic arm and a precision-engineered 60:1 gearbox reduction for smooth, quiet movement. The unique design allows easy access to electronic and mechanical components without removing the gate arm. Electronic magnetic limits are easily adjusted and will never wear out or break. A solid steel frame and belt-driven gear system make the 2160 one of the quietest and most reliable swing gate operators on the market today.
