Platinum Access BLSW2212 Commercial Swing Gate Operator

High-Capacity Brushless DC Automation for Heavy Commercial Swing Gates

The Platinum Access BLSW2212 Heavy Duty Commercial Swing Gate Operator is designed for large, heavy vehicular swing gates in commercial, industrial, gated-community, and restricted-access applications. Its 24 VDC continuous-duty brushless motor supports gates up to 2,200 lb at 12 ft or 1,300 lb at 20 ft, providing substantially more capacity than Platinum Access's lighter-duty swing operator models.

The BLSW2212 combines brushless motor technology with soft start and soft stop, electronic obstruction sensing, automatic learning, primary/secondary synchronization, and Dynamic Speed Control. Gate speed remains consistent as operating load changes and as the system transitions between AC and battery power.

Two 12V 33Ah batteries provide a high-capacity 24 VDC backup system for continued access during a power outage. The operator also supports direct solar power with a properly sized solar array, along with selectable fail-safe, fail-secure, and automatic-open behavior for different site security requirements.

Conclusion

The Platinum Access BLSW2212 is intended for heavy swing gates that require greater capacity than standard residential and light-commercial operators. Its 2,200 lb at 12 ft and 1,300 lb at 20 ft ratings, continuous-duty brushless motor, 33Ah battery backup, solar capability, and primary/secondary controls make it suited to demanding commercial and industrial perimeter entrances.

Gate weight and length should be evaluated together when selecting the operator. External photoeyes, sensing edges, or other entrapment protection devices should also be selected according to the actual gate geometry and applicable safety requirements rather than assuming one device will cover every installation.
