When selecting a Viking gate operator, always consider both weight and length together. The rule of thumb? Heavier gates are usually shorter, and longer gates need lighter materials. If your gate is near the limit on either spec, choose the next higher operator for reliability. Duty cycle and environment matter too! Most Viking units offer 100% duty cycle and protection for repeated use. Matching both dimensions ensures safe, efficient performance.
