FAAC Gate Motor Product Range
Heavy-Duty Sliding Gate Motors
FAAC sliding operators are built for strength and endurance, making them suitable for residential driveways through to wide and heavy commercial gates. We size the motor to gate weight and travel, set accurate limits and fit robust rack for smooth, steady operation in all conditions.
Hydraulic Swing Gate Operators
FAAC is best known for its hydraulic swing gate systems, offering powerful, long-lasting performance on wide or high-use gates. Hydraulic arms deliver smoother, quieter movement with less wear, and are ideal for strata or commercial entries that cycle multiple times a day.
Electromechanical Swing Gate Operators
For smaller residential installs, FAAC also offers electromechanical swing arms that are compact and reliable. We configure single or double leaves, ensure correct stops and hinges, and set forces for safe, daily use.
Boom Gates and Barriers
FAAC barrier arms are widely used in car parks, strata entries and small business sites. We size arms to your lane width, adjust cycle speeds to suit traffic flow and integrate loops, remotes or access control systems.
Control Panels and Receivers
FAAC control boards feature soft start and stop, full safety inputs and add-on receivers for remotes and keypads. Cloud or app integration is available on selected systems, allowing remote management and faster servicing.
Safety Sensors and Devices
Photocells, safety edges and warning lights help keep every FAAC system safe and compliant. We position and test devices carefully to protect people and vehicles while reducing false triggers.
Access and Intercom
Remotes, keypads and fobs pair easily with FAAC systems, alongside audio or video intercoms for secure access. We program user levels, schedules and auto-close features to suit residential and commercial properties.
Power and Backup
Selected FAAC 24 V motors support battery backup to keep gates running during outages. Solar assist is also available for rural driveways or locations where running mains power is impractical.
Why We Recommend FAAC Gate Motors on the Central Coast
Salty and Coastal Sites
We specify stainless fixings, UV-stable photocells and sealed cable glands to handle sea air. FAAC’s hydraulic systems are especially well suited to coastal installs because the sealed oil-filled arms resist corrosion and wear. We add weather shields and correct drainage to protect control boxes and extend service life.
Long Driveways and Slopes
FAAC sliding and hydraulic swing motors provide high torque and smooth operation, making them ideal for longer travel or sloping sites. Their heavy-duty build reduces strain on racks, hinges and rollers, while external antennas and long-range remotes make access easy even from the street or house.
Power Outages and Blackouts
Selected FAAC 24 V systems support battery backup to keep gates operational during blackouts. We can program a pedestrian-only opening to extend battery life, check backup health during service, and make sure manual release keys are accessible so you’re never locked in or out.
