MAX F18PRO Slide Gate Operator

Fast, High Traffic, Commercial, Brushless, DC, Slide Gate Operator

Max Weight: 1600 lbs / Max Length: 60ft

Availability: In stock

The Max F18 PRO sliding gate operator is a robotic DSP controlled machine that is strictly for UL 3 and 4 commercial/industrial applications such as oil refineries, factories, institutions, mini-storage warehouses, and airports, etc. It is capable of moving 1600 lb. gates to a maximum gate length of 50 ft. With 18″ per second direct drive (no belts or pulleys), the F18 PRO is 50% faster than common gate operators. The F18 PRO offers reliable state machine design electronics, 24V brushless DC motor, robust features and ease of installation. The Max F18 PRO’s attractive cover and access doors are made of a quarter inch UV protected, high impact polyurethane material that offer years of non-fading and structural stability. It comes standard with a lockable cover for easy access that allows for quick servicing. Max F18 PRO sliding gate operator is also compatible with existing installations and in most cases can be directly bolted onto concrete pads used by the most popular gate operators in the industry.
