6050 / 6100 Residential and Commercial

The unique configuration of these Operators allows the gate arm to rotate from underneath the Operator, enabling the arm to attach to the bottom rail of the gate, were it is virtually unseen from outside the gate. The fully enclosed Operators prevent water from contaminating the output shaft, bearings, and electronics.  Additionally, the frame is built from G90 galvanized steel to prevent rusting. These Operators can be installed directly on a concrete pad, or post-mounted to meet any installation requirements.

6050 / 6100 Residential and Commercial

Aesthetically Pleasing – Original Quiet Design

The Model 6050 and 6100 operators are designed to operate vehicular swing gates in residential and commercial applications. These operators are designed so that they can be either pad or post mounted without any costly and time consuming field modifications. You need to specify which mounting method when ordering. The unique design of these operators allows the gate arm to be attached to the bottom rail of the gate. This eliminates the need for any brackets to be welded to the face of the gate and creates an aesthetically pleasing installation.

With safety in mind, these Operators contain an electronic and mechanical inherent reverse system for two methods of obstruction detection. The automatic electronic limits, along with the microprocessor-based electronic control board provide advanced features not typically found in Operators in this class.
