Key Advantages & Benefits:

• Wide Pillar Geometry Solution: Specifically designed for gates with deep-set hinges (where the distance from the hinge to the inside edge of the pillar is large).
• Anti-Shear & Pinch-Free Design: The articulated joints are engineered with safe clearances to prevent accidental pinching of hands or debris during operation.
• Heavy-Duty Scissor Action: Provides immense, smooth leverage capable of swinging heavy, solid-wood courtyard doors or thick steel security gates.
• Integrated Manual Release: In the event of a power failure, a secure keyed release on the motor housing allows the arm to swing freely for manual operation.

Versatile Applications:

• Historic estates and properties with large heritage masonry or stone gate columns.
• Heavy wooden courtyard doors in upscale commercial settings or boutique hotels.
• Residential driveways with unique, non-standard hinge geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: How do I know if I need an articulated arm instead of a linear arm? A: If your gate hinge is mounted deep in the center of a wide brick pillar, a linear arm will likely hit the corner of the brick when trying to open. An articulated arm's "elbow" reaches around that brick corner easily.
• Q: How much clearance do I need behind the open gate? A: Articulated arms do require a wider lateral clearance zone when the gate is fully open because the "elbow" of the arm protrudes. You typically need 1.5 to 2 feet of space between the open gate and any adjacent wall or fence.
• Q: Is the articulated arm strong enough for heavy commercial gates? A: Yes, the arms are constructed from thick, cast-galvanized steel and driven by a heavy-duty geared motor, offering exceptional torque comparable to heavy-duty linear rams.
