Weight, length and cycles a day decide the unit — all three measured.

Three numbers pick an operator: what the leaf weighs, how far it travels, and how many times a day it does it. Get any one of them wrong and the motor is either overspecified or on borrowed time.

Cycles a day is the number that picks the unit here. A high-cycle operator on a shared entry will outlive two or three residential ones.

Planned communities repeat — the same frontage width, the same setback, and often the same entry problem several hundred times over.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in Boynton Beach is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.

Worth knowing

  • Weight-matched
  • Duty-cycle rated
  • Programmed on site
  • Backup power options
  • Shared-entry duty cycle
Why is the spec different up here?
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.
Why not just fit the cheapest operator?
An under-rated motor dies on the duty cycle. The gate's weight and daily use pick the unit.
Can I keep my remotes?
Usually. If the frequency matches we re-program what you already carry.
There's no power at the gate.
Solar and battery operators exist for exactly that. Where trenching is easy, we trench.
