Platinum Access BLSL2250 Commercial Slide Gate Operator

Brushless DC Chain-Drive Automation for Heavy Commercial Slide Gates

The Platinum Access BLSL2250 Commercial Slide Gate Operator is a high-capacity chain-drive system designed for residential, commercial, industrial, and restricted-access vehicular slide gates. It combines a 24 VDC continuous-duty brushless motor with dynamic speed control, built-in battery backup, and the Platinum Access BLGOC control system.

The BLSL2250 is rated for slide gates up to 2,200 lb and 50 ft long, with a travel speed of approximately 12 inches per second. Dynamic Speed Control maintains consistent gate speed as the load changes and helps control movement on sloped installations rather than allowing the gate to coast.

The operator normally receives 115/230 VAC single-phase power while operating through its 24 VDC system. Two 12V 7Ah batteries provide built-in backup operation during a power outage. The BLSL2250 is also solar capable and provides a direct solar input for properly sized solar installations.

Conclusion

The Platinum Access BLSL2250 is designed for larger slide gates and higher-use entrances that benefit from brushless DC operation, dynamic speed control, built-in battery backup, and solar capability. Its 2,200 lb capacity and 50 ft gate-length rating make it suitable for commercial properties, gated communities, industrial entrances, and other perimeter-access applications.

For solar installations, Platinum Access specifies a properly sized solar system rather than simply connecting a small maintenance panel. For primary/secondary slide gates, a second compatible operator can be connected for synchronized operation.

External entrapment protection should be selected and positioned according to the actual gate layout and applicable UL 325 requirements.
