Maximum Controls MAX-SUPERARM1300 Linear Gate Operator
The Maximum Controls MAX-SUPERARM1300 is a heavy-duty linear gate operator featuring a continuous duty brushless motor, 24VDC operation, and support for gates up to 8’ x 2,300 lbs or 20’ x 1,500 lbs.
Maximum Controls MAX-SUPERARM1300 Linear Gate Operator
The Maximum Controls MAX-SUPERARM1300 is a heavy-duty linear gate operator engineered for demanding installations. It operates on a 24VDC brushless motor with a direct gear drive system — no internal chains, belts, or pulleys. A patented brake system allows the operator to retract with extreme force; when force exceeds 2 tons, the clutch releases upon impact and automatically resets. The MAX-SUPERARM1300 is UL 325/991 compliant for Class I, II, III, and IV and CSA approved. Must be installed by a professional gate installer — warranty is void if installed by non-professionals.
