HySecurity SlideSmart DC 15 Solar Commercial Slide Gate Opener (1,500 lbs Max.)
The HySecurity SlideSmart DCS 15 is a solar-powered, heavy-duty commercial slide gate opener designed for high-frequency sites where electrical infrastructure may be limited. This operator supports gates up to 1,500 pounds and 40 feet in length, using an efficient electromechanical drive system and adjustable speeds of 0.75, 1.0, or 1.25 feet per second. Speed settings are independently configurable but are limited to 1 ft/s for UL Class I and II safety compliance. Powered by 24VDC solar panels (not included), the system features built-in battery backup to maintain reliable operation during periods of low sunlight or power loss. Note: Operator price includes 30 feet of #40 corrosion-resistant roller chain and two steel gate mounting brackets for standard installation.
