This American jewel was made for different types of gate: farm gates, chain link or ornamental gates. It is a double gate opener for gates ranging from 12 to 20 feet in length. Its 12 vdc battery can be powered in two manners: using an AC transformer, or using the included solar panel kit. The benefits of the solar charging is that it is suitable for remote installations and qualifies you for a 30% federal tax credit.

It gets better

Another benefit of the solar charging is that it will provide up to 8 weeks of operation with no sun! Sounds amazing, right?! And to spice things up, the Plug N Go wiring harness excludes the need for wiring. This makes your installation process quick and simple and it usually lasts up to 2 hours maximum.

A linear actuator is also included and it provides 400 pounds of thrust and the compression rating of 1000 pounds. The estimated open and close time is 16 seconds and the gate weight will not affect it.
