Maximum Controls MEGA2200-HP-PRO Swing Gate Operator
The Maximum Controls MEGA2200-HP-PRO is a continuous duty, brushless 24V DC swing gate operator rated for gates up to 2,500 lbs./15 ft. or 1,800 lbs./20 ft., with direct gear drive and a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty.
Overview
The Maximum Controls MEGA2200-HP-PRO is a high-traffic, heavy-duty commercial brushless DC swing gate operator engineered for demanding access control environments. Its direct gear drive system — with no chains, belts, or pulleys — delivers gate opening speeds of 11-1/2 to 18 seconds based on gate weight and selectable speed control. The unit ships with a 24VDC AGM battery backup system with two 7-Ah batteries, providing over 400 full cycles in the event of a power failure. Installation is backed by a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty, and additional entrapment prevention devices are required. This operator must be installed by a professional gate installer; the warranty is void if installed by anyone other than a qualified professional.
