New Shop Gate

[DieselMonkey]

We just finished up our new shop gate last week, hopefully going to be hanging it up sometime this week if the weather cooperates. The center scene is a file off of here. The Gate is 19' 9 1/2" x 6' x 684 lbs.

Nice looking gate - wow, I hope you have a REALLY big chunk of concrete in the ground to hold that up.

That thing is huge but very nice. Gonna need some good hinges.

3 hinges rated for 2200 lbs each, mounted to 4 1/2 inch .271 wall oil pipe driven 8 foot in the ground There is two braces you cant see underground, every main post is driven 8 ft.

Wow, that's pretty quick. Can't tell what the operator is? is that screw drive or? Do you purchase the system locally or internet?

Thanks

Its a US Automatic Patriot, Screw Motor. We run about a 6 on the load limit dials out of a possible 10. Takes about 60 pounds to push the gate closed/pull it open from where the arm connects to the gate. We've even got it set for soft start/stop its so easy to swing. Ball Bearing hinges are worth their weight in gold when it comes to gates that heavy. We've had the opener for about 7 years now, the company that originally installed it before we even got into CNC cutting has long since gone out of business.
