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.

Palm Springs · Palm Beach County

A gate at the end of a long drive with no supply near it is a common enough problem that there is a whole class of hardware for it. Which answer is right depends on the run, the sun the panel would actually get, and how often the gate cycles.

Where there is no power at the gate, solar and battery operators exist for exactly that. Where a trench is straightforward, trenching is usually the better long-term answer.

Ground that carries trucks, trailers and equipment moves under load, and anything set into it has to tolerate that.

The coastal towns add a layer

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the product approvals differ from the two counties to the south. On top of that, several towns and associations in this county run design guidelines of their own — so what Palm Springs expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.
