LiftMaster Gate Openers for Swing and Slide Gates

Find the right LiftMaster gate opener for your residential driveway, gated community, or commercial property. Hoover Fence offers swing and slide gate operators with options for solar power, battery backup, and high-traffic applications. Compare the models below by gate type, capacity, and power system.

Choosing your operator: Consider the length and weight of each gate leaf, daily traffic, available power, and installation requirements. For double gates, each leaf requires its own operator or a compatible secondary actuator, depending on the system.

LiftMaster Swing Gate Openers

LiftMaster swing gate operators include actuator-arm kits for residential entrances and pad-mounted operators for residential, light commercial, and high-traffic commercial applications. Choose a battery-backed DC system, a solar-powered kit, or a continuous-duty AC operator to suit your installation.

Double swing gates: The LA400PKGUL requires a compatible LA400DCS secondary actuator, and the LA412PKGUL requires a compatible LA412DCS secondary actuator. RSW12UL, CSW24UL, and CSW200UL installations require two operators for double gates. Additional installation components may be required.

LiftMaster Slide Gate Openers

LiftMaster slide gate operators automate sliding driveway and cantilever gates. Choose the RSL12UL for residential and light commercial applications, a CSL24UL package for commercial operation with battery backup, or an SL3000UL Series AC operator for continuous-duty applications.

CSL24UL package differences: Both CSL24UL-MC and CSL24ULWK-MC include battery backup, an LMRRUL monitored photo eye, an S505AL 5-foot sensing edge, and 30 feet of #41 chain. The CSL24ULWK-MC also includes the LMWEKITU monitored wireless edge kit; this kit is sold separately with the CSL24UL-MC.

SL3000 horsepower options: Both SL3000UL Series models are available on the same product page. Select SL3000501UL for the 1/2 HP model or SL3000101UL for the 1 HP model.

Double slide gates: Order two operators, one for each gate leaf.

*Capacities apply to each individual gate leaf. Maximum weight and maximum length are separate limits and may not be achievable together. Refer to the selected operator's installation manual and capacity chart. Gate construction, wind exposure, hardware condition, and installation geometry affect operator selection.

Power, Installation, and Gate Safety

• Battery backup: Available on the DC models identified above. Backup runtime varies with the operator, battery configuration, gate, accessories, and operating conditions.
• Solar operation: The LA412PKGUL includes a solar panel. Other solar-capable models require the appropriate solar equipment and system sizing.
• Electrical requirements: DC motor voltage does not necessarily describe the incoming power supply. Check the selected model's charging and electrical requirements before installation.
• Gate protection: The installer must evaluate entrapment areas and install the monitored safety devices required by the operator's instructions. Additional protection may be required beyond the devices included in a package.
• Controls and connectivity: Remote controls, keypads, and myQ® connectivity depend on the selected operator and compatible equipment. Review each product page for included components and additional requirements.
