The Maxim farm gate special kit offers very powerful performance. With its class leading 350 watt motors, 75mm stator and phosphor bronze gearing the Maxim out performs the competition.
Its reliability has made it our best seller.
The 12V version also has a Battery Backup Kit available to keep your gate running in a power outage.
*When ordering please choose the correct hand of motor*
On a normal opening inward gate, the handing is done whilst standing inside the property looking out. L/H is a gate hinged from the left hand side when looking from the inside of the property out (usually looking towards the road).* 400 Stroke for up to 3.6m gates, 600 Stroke for up to 4.5m gates
12V Version available (230VAC To 12V Transformer included) The 12V motor is safer, easier to fit (two wires on the motor), and has a greater duty cycle making it ideal for intensive use. Battery back up can also be fitted to keep the system running when power is off. Do not think the 12V is a weaker option, although it has less power it still has more than enough to do the job. Eg On a 12ft / 3.6m gate the mains motor might run at 15% of its available power, whereas the 12v might use 30% of its power.
A 12v motor option could save you money during installation time. It can also be battery powered and solar charged.

Important
A
mains filter should be fitted on the supply to the control panel.
It reduces mains interference and prolongs the life of the PCB.
If you have wooden gates then we strongly recommend the use of our
adjustable bracket set as these commercial grade motors come with standard weld-on brackets.
