Swing Gate Operators With Safety Feature Installed For Company SW of Chicago

Last month ECI was contracted to install three DKS? DoorKing? Swing Gate operators for an Illinois company located southwest of Chicago. We installed all of the customer supplied equipment along with the interface wiring and testing of the vehicle detector loops’ operations.

The main entrance is shown above with two swing gates controlling the access and egress lanes. Also notice at the entry lane the stacked access control readers on a goose neck pedestal.? They are located near the center of the picture near the dual yellow bollards.

The lower access control reader is at car height and the upper access control reader is at truck height. There are vehicle detector loops on both lanes as well as a generous sprinkling of additional yellow protective bollards.

A close up image of one of the swing gate operators is shown below.? Also installed at another swing gate is a third operator.

The 6500 series operators are available in two versions. Suitable for gates up to 18 feet in length weighing a maximum of 700 pounds is the one-half horsepower version. The larger one horsepower model can accommodate gates up to 22 feet long and weighing a maximum of 800 pounds.

Standard on each swing gate operator is a breakaway hub that prevents damage to the gear box itself if the gate is struck. Thermostatically controlled heater kits are available for colder environments.
