Ramset RAM 3000 DC Commercial Swing Gate Operator

Heavy-Duty Brushless DC Automation for Commercial Swing Gates

The Ramset RAM 3000 DC Swing Gate Operator is a heavy-duty operator designed for commercial and industrial vehicular gates up to 2,000 lb and 22 ft long. Its 24V brushless DC motor, commercial oil-bath gearbox, battery backup, and continuous-duty design make it suited to high-traffic perimeter entrances requiring dependable swing gate automation.

The RAM 3000 DC uses a 24V brushless DC motor with a Size 70, 30:1 synthetic oil-bath gearbox. Soft Start and Slow Stop reduce abrupt gate movement, while adjustable speed and close-delay settings allow the operator to be tuned for the gate and installation geometry. Ramset's mechanical limit system provides adjustable open and close positioning without relying on electronic travel limits.

Two 12V 7Ah batteries provide backup operation during an AC power interruption. Ultra Low Battery Mode reserves battery capacity for emergency use, and selectable Fail Safe / Fail Secure operation determines whether the gate can be configured to remain open or secured if both AC power and usable battery power are lost.

For manual access, the RAM 3000 DC incorporates a hand-lever emergency release that mechanically disengages the operator so the gate can be moved manually when required.

Conclusion

The Ramset RAM 3000 DC is designed for larger commercial and industrial swing gates requiring higher gate capacity, continuous-duty operation, and battery-backed DC control. Its 2,000 lb / 22 ft rating, brushless motor, mechanical limits, soft-start/slow-stop operation, Fail Safe/Fail Secure settings, and manual emergency release make it a strong fit for controlled perimeter entrances with frequent vehicle traffic.

Monitored external entrapment protection should be selected and positioned according to the actual gate layout, installation manual, and applicable UL 325 requirements.
