Description
Hydraulic power for a pair of heavy swing gates. The kit has two hydraulic rams, each with its own built-in pump, fitted above ground between the post and the leaf. It is rated for a leaf up to 4m and 700kg with 7000N of thrust and a 100% duty cycle, so it keeps working on gates that open all day. The ram slows down at the end of its stroke for a smooth stop, and the kit includes the control unit, a pair of photocells and two remote controls. The price shown is for one kit.
Why choose it
100% duty cycle. Hydraulic drive suits busy entrances that open and close many times a day.
7000N of thrust. Moves long, heavy and solid-boarded leaves that an electromechanical ram struggles with.
Soft stop. The ram slows at the end of the stroke, easing the load on the gate and hinges.
Manual release. A key release on the ram lets you open the gate by hand in a power cut.
Where it is used
Heavy driveway and estate gates, farm and yard entrances, apartment blocks and commercial sites with frequent traffic.

Do I need an electric lock?
Hydraulic rams hold the gate well, but on tall, solid or windy gates we recommend an electric lock or a ground stop for security. Call us and we will advise for your gate.
Installation and safety
Powered gates must be installed by a competent installer, with the mains supply wired by a qualified electrician, and the finished gate should be risk assessed and force tested to BS EN 12453. The photocells in the kit are part of that safety system: fit them across the opening so the gate stops if anything is in its path.

See the whole range in Gate Automation.
Fitting
Fix the post and gate brackets at the B, C and E positions in the fixing table for the opening angle you need, so the ram can travel through the full opening. Hang the ram, mount the control unit, fit the photocells across the opening and set the working times. The mains connection must be made by a qualified electrician.
Care
Keep the rams clean and check the brackets and fixings every 6 months. Test the photocells regularly and have the system serviced by a competent installer yearly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for the whole kit?
Yes, the complete kit as listed, with two rams.
Why hydraulic?
A hydraulic ram gives high thrust and a 100% duty cycle, so it suits heavy leaves and busy gates.
Can I open the gate in a power cut?
Yes. Unlock the ram with its release key and swing the gate by hand.
How big a gate will it move?
It is rated for a leaf up to 4m long and 700kg.
How far will it open?
Up to 110 degrees, depending on the bracket positions; see the fixing table in the gallery.
