Raptor Low Voltage 24 Volt Heavy Duty Articulating Arm Operator

italian swing gate motor
The Raptor Articulating Arm System Is a High-End ITALIAN 24 Volt Metal Gearbox Articulating Arm Operator in the Extra Heavy Duty Class, Flexible, Strong and and Resilient the operator can swing gate weights of up to an outstanding 800KG EACH (Wrought Iron Gates) and Gates up to 4.2m (14FT) Each for a total of an 8.2m Opening. Construction is Heavy Duty and Solid with a all metal reduction gear systems structure encapsulated into a die-cast housing. 

Flexibility is standard thanks to the spherical ball joint connection points on the arm. Both joins in the arm have excellent flexibility allowing for gate operation even when the gate is out of level or a rising gate application. The steel arms continue the heavy duty capabilities of the operators being constructed from laser cut steel at an 8mm thickness for high strength and the post bracket also carries its weight at 5mm thickness also from laser cut steel. 

The Raptor series operator is 100% Universal meaning the operator could be installed on EITHER side of the driveway and is suitable for both Inwards (Pull to Open) and Outwards (Push to Open) installations with a clever clutch release system (Emergency release) is available on both sides of the operator. 

 The Raptor operator uses micro switches (Limit Switches) for both the Open and also the Closed positions allowing for precise and easily adjustable cut off point for each position. Micro switches are wired back to the gate control board for easier designation of both positions without the requirement of any electronics within the gate motor. 

The prerequisite for a Raptor operator is a mounting area of 215mm, this is typically available on piers, pillars and large posts. If you have a narrow post the mounting area requirement can be reduced by drilling additional holes in the post bracket OR the post could be extended by installing a heavy duty bracket on the side of the post. The clearance area required for a Raptor operators arm when the gate is open to 90 Degrees (arm folded back) is 450mm. 

 Both Cable rolls required (DC Motor and Limit Switches) is available as an add on (in the kit contents tab) if cable has not been pre-laid before hand), a total of 5 wires is used to operate a Raptor.

RAPTOR Swing Gate Opener FAQs

Where is the RAPTOR motor manufactured, and what warranty does it have?

The RAPTOR motor is manufactured in Italy and comes with a 3 year warranty.

What material is the RAPTOR gearbox made from?

The RAPTOR uses all-metal gears: steel cut gears and bronze.

How much clear area does the RAPTOR need beside the gate?

The RAPTOR motor unit itself only requires 350 mm of width for its mounting, but it needs 400 mm of clear area for the articulation arms with the gate open at 90 degrees (flush with the back of the pier or post). If the gate is set towards the centre, the clear area required decreases.

Will the RAPTOR drive against wind during operation?

For traditional open gates, round tube farm gates, or gates with coverage in sheltered suburban areas (normal residential streets with normal winds), wind is not a concern. The RAPTOR is a high-torque gate motor, so it can push through wind on gates with a moderate percentage of covering, such as slats, pickets, boards or sheeting, within reason. For very large gate sections or exposed high wind sites, check with our technical team that the RAPTOR suits your gate.

How many wires does the RAPTOR gate motor use?

The RAPTOR gate motor uses 6 wires: 2 to power the motor and 4 for limit switch signalling.

Does the RAPTOR have a manual release for power outages?

Yes. The RAPTOR has a manual release for use during power outages. It is locked and unlocked with the supplied tool.

Do I need an open position stop for an inward-opening gate with the RAPTOR?

No. The RAPTOR has adjustable limit switches under the top cover.

Do I need a closed position stop for an inward-opening gate with the RAPTOR?

Strongly recommended, though not strictly required. The RAPTOR has adjustable limit switches under the top cover, but for the best alignment and hold a ground stop is strongly recommended, because unloaded freeplay in the gate can affect alignment.

Does the RAPTOR work with rising gates, tilting hinges or uphill hinges?

Yes, but always check with our technical team for rising gate installation capabilities.

Can I upgrade my gate in the future and keep the same RAPTOR motors?

Yes, as long as the new gate fits within the RAPTOR specifications.

Which accessories are compatible with the RAPTOR, and which add-ons complement the system?

There is a large range of add-on accessories available for the RAPTOR, listed in the Add Ons tab on this page.

Are the RAPTOR manuals and videos available online?

Yes. Manuals are available online in the Manuals tab and videos in the Videos tab on this page. A hard copy is also supplied with the kit, along with a video cheat sheet to simplify the process. Our support team can assist with technical questions before, during or after installation.

What is included in the RAPTOR package?

The full package contents are listed in the Kit Contents tab on this page, with optional extras in the Add Ons tab.

Option 1 (Premier 24-15B): The 15aH Deep Cycle setup allow for up to a two and a half weeks of usage without any charge from the solar panel in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days (whilst factoring in standby power), this is the ideal choice for areas that may see a consistent week of poor weather poor weather through winter without sunlight. This is great choice VIC, NSW, SA, ACT, TAS, QLD, NT and WA.

Option 2 (Premier 24-22B): The 22aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over three weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support Light commercial usage.

Option 3 (Premier 24-LI20): The 20aH Lithium setup allows for up to three weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per day without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). Lithium batteries offer a longer lifetime than Deep Cycle batteries, so you get more years of service from the system. It is also fitted with a Victron Smart Charge Controller (MPPT), which lets you monitor the system from your mobile phone using the app. It can also support Light commercial usage.

Option 3 (Premier 24-26B): The 26aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over four weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support Medium commercial usage of 10-15 operations per day for a period of approx. 2 weeks.

Option 4 (Premier 24-55B): The 55aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over eight to nine weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support higher duty commercial usage of 60 operations per day for a period of approx. 1 weeks. It should be considered in these applications to upgrade the solar panel option to 180 Watts.

The allowances are general in nature and typically factor for a continuous period taking into account overcast and other poor weather conditions along with wet seasons that will contribute to a no charge/minimal charge result from the solar system. These allowances do not take into account shade on the solar panel which will effect the overall charging.

These allowances DO NOT take into account WiFi and Bluetooth Modules, as system consumption will increase using one of these devices Always use the next option up from requirement.

Solar Powered Gate System FAQs

How long does a standard solar battery set run the gate with no charge at all?

A standard solar battery set typically runs the gate for around two weeks on typical family usage (10 uses per day) without input charge, not factoring in wired-in accessories. It is charged by a 60 W solar panel, with an input of up to 2 amps in full sun. The two week figure decreases as the batteries age.

Will the solar gate system keep working on cloudy days and at night?

Yes. The batteries store the system's energy, so the gate keeps working on cloudy days and at night. The solar panel is only there to charge the batteries.

What happens if the solar system batteries run low due to a long stretch without sun?

All our gate motors are equipped with a manual release in case this situation occurs. The system will automatically return online once charging resumes.

How often should the solar system batteries be replaced?

SLA batteries should be replaced about every 18 months for best reliability, though this can stretch to 2 years or more in the right circumstances. Lithium battery options last at least 3 years. Battery options can be chosen in the Kit Contents tab on this page.

What battery size options are available for the solar gate system?

SLA cycling-rated batteries are available in 15, 22, 26 and 55 Ah, supplied with a CERO PWM charge controller. A 20 Ah lithium option is also available, supplied with a Victron SMART charge controller.

Can I add another solar panel to the solar gate system?

Yes. Up to 4 panels can be added to increase charge speed if needed. The included 60 watt panel is sufficient for 99% of cases.
