GTO/Mighty Mule Gate Operator Overview

Cycle Charts for GTO PRO Swing Gate Operators Using Supplied Transformers

The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the GTO Automatic Gate Opener when powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the type and condition of gate and installation. An operation cycle is one full opening and closing of the gate. "NR" indicates this size and weight combination is not recommended for this operator.

SL2000B Cycle Chart:

Gate length refers to opening size - add 10' for maxiumum gate length.

Gate Length/Gate Weight	400 lbs.	600 lbs.	800 lbs.	1000 lbs.
20' Long Gate*	80 Cycles	70 Cycles	60 Cycles	50 Cycles
16' Long Gate*	100 Cycles	90 Cycles	80 Cycles	70 Cycles
12' Long Gate*	120 Cycles	110 Cycles	100 Cycles	90 Cycles
8' Long Gate*	140 Cycles	130 Cycles	120 Cycles	110 Cycles

*NOTE: As installations vary, so will the number of cycles that can be expected. Cycles shown are for single gate, dual gates will get approximately half as many cycles. The addition of a second battery* will increase cycles during peak traffic hours by 30 to 50 percent. Cycles are assumed to be spread out over a 12 to 14 hour period.

**NOTE: Ball bearing hinges should be used on all gates weighing over 250 lbs.

*NOTE: As installations vary, so will the number of cycles that can be expected. Cycles shown above are for a single battery, the addition of a second battery will increase cycles during peak traffic hours by 30 to 50 percent. Cycles are assumed to be spread out over a 12 to 14 hour period. Both batteries fit in battery compartment of control box. "NR" indicates this size and weight combination is not recommended for this operator.
