6550 Commercial and Industrial

The 6500 Series Operators are designed to operate Vehicular Swing Gates in residential, commercial and industrial applications for both single and bi-parting gates. The Operator swings gates 90 degrees in approximately 12-14 seconds.

The unique design of this Operator allows for easy access to the electronics and mechanical areas of the Operator without ever having to remove the gate arm. The electronic magnetic limits will never wear out or break and they are easily adjusted. The solid steel frame and belt-driven gear box make this operator one of the quietest on the market today.
