Maximum Controls MAX-RHINO-4000 Heavy Duty Slide Gate Operat
The Maximum Controls MAX-RHINO-4000 is a high-traffic industrial brushless DC slide gate operator rated for gates up to 4,000 lbs, with 24VDC operation and built-in battery backup.
Overview
The Maximum Controls MAX-RHINO-4000 is a heavy-duty industrial slide gate operator engineered for continuous duty cycles in the most demanding commercial environments. Powered by a brushless DC motor equivalent to a 2½ HP AC motor, it operates on 24VDC and supports gates up to 4,000 lbs. The unit is solar ready and features the Matrix-III PRO Series control board. Fail-safe, back-drivable manual operation is available upon loss of AC power or battery depletion. Class III and IV applications only. Installation must be performed by a professional gate installer — tech support and warranty coverage apply only under this condition.
