Designed to be concealed underground below the gate hinge, and as such, virtually invisible. Popular on decorative wrought iron gates. Unlike other underground motors on the market, the BFT hydraulic operator (as shown here) has a built in hydraulic pump eliminating the need for unsightly pump units mounted above ground. Hydraulic drives have fewer moving parts than mechanical equivalent giving extended life. The BFT mechanical arm opener is a new lower priced addition to the range. Various models are available to suit gate leaves of up to four metres wide opening up to 180 degrees. Maximum leaf weight 800kgs.
Generally a more economical gate automation system than the underground system. Electro-Hydraulic or mechanical pistons are mounted on the back of each gate leaf. This form of automation is particularly popular on wooden five bar farm type gates, although it is equally suited to most timber and wrought iron gate designs. It should be noted that on certain installations, it may be necessary to remove a small section of the gate post to allow the motor to be mounted correctly. Various models are available to suit gate leaves up to four metres wide.
A range of models, to cope with both large and small domestic automatic sliding gates. The motor units are secure and space saving. Motor units have a lockable release mechanism in the event of a power failure. The range can operate any gate weighing up to 2000kgs.
