2160 Swing Gate Operators

Smart, brushless DC swing gate automation with battery backup

The 2160 Series Operators are engineered to operate vehicular swing gates in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for both single and bi-parting gates. The unique design allows easy access to electronic and mechanical components without removing the gate arm, simplifying installation and maintenance. Electronic magnetic limits are easily adjusted and will never wear out or break. A solid steel frame, harmonic arm, and belt-driven gearbox deliver quiet, reliable operation, making the 2160 one of the most durable swing gate operators available today.

The 2160 Series Swing Gate Operators combine power, precision, and quiet performance for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Available in two models — 2160-380 and 2160-381 — these operators deliver smooth and efficient motion for single or bi-parting vehicular gates up to 22 feet and 1,800 lbs. Designed for Class I–IV operation, the 2160 Series provides dependable, low-maintenance performance ideal for a wide range of access control environments.
