Hidden Underground Gate Opener

If you’ve hesitated to purchase a new gate opener because you do not want the opener to ruin the aesthetics of your yard, you can now find underground gate openers that will hide and not distract from the look of your gates. Additionally, underground gate openers have other benefits, including being vandal-resistant, able to open heavy gates, and water-resistant.

Benefits Of Hidden Under Ground Gate Openers

Some benefits of underground gate openers include:

Ability To Move Heavy Gates

Underground gate openers can move gates of up to 650 pounds and 12 feet. The underground gate opener from Viking Access Systems has a stainless-steel chassis and top-of-the-line safety standards. These gate openers also include a battery backup, so if there is a power outage, the gate opener will still function with up to 250 continuous cycles at 100% duty cycle. This gate opener is made for heavy gate operation and will open in 13 to 15 seconds at 90 degrees.

More Resistant Against Vandalism

One benefit of underground gate openers is that they are not seen, which may cause them to be less targeted when it comes to robberies or other situations. They are also more resistant to vandalism, and underground gate openers are more resistant to incidental damage, such as water seeping into your gate openers.

Helpful For Limited Spaces Where Gates Are Needed

If a swing gate needs to be in a small area, underground swing gate openers help ensure you maximize your space by staying underground and not taking up any aboveground area. Plus, the gate axis can open from the starting point at 90 degrees, allowing you to operate your gate without using any additional space.

Underground Gate Openers Are Highly Water-Resistant

Underground gate openers are water-resistant, and the ones from Viking Access Systems are water-resistant and have a rating of IP67. This means these gate openers are protected against dust and water. This rating is known as “Ingress Protection” and was developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). IP67 is known as “waterproof,” and your underground gate opener is protected from short periods of water immersion. Therefore, your underground gate opener is safe from weather elements.
