Platinum BLSW1016 Swing Gate Operator – Brushless DC Motor

Brushless DC Swing Gate Operator with Battery Backup and Advanced Security

The Platinum Access BLSW1016 is a high-performance swing gate operator engineered for residential estates and heavy-duty commercial applications. Powered by a brushless 24V DC motor, this unit supports gates up to 16 feet or 1,000 lbs, providing ultra-quiet, high-torque operation backed by a maintenance-free gearbox and dual 7Ah batteries for uninterrupted access during power loss.

Designed for long service life, the BLSW1016 delivers up to 10x longer motor life than traditional brushed DC motors, and integrates advanced safety, maglock control, and fail-secure/fail-safe modes - making it a premier choice for perimeter security environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Requires at least one UL-compliant monitored photoeye (not included) for operation.
