Thus was born
the D10 Turbo. We realised that there
are absolutely no compromises to be made when it comes to home and personal
security, and that a gate motor was needed that would offer the whole package
without skimping on the essentials.
Like a fine,
high-performance sports car, the D10 Turbo was originally built for speed. With a top speed of 50 metres per minute,
this expeditious operator opens and closes lighter gates at a velocity that can
only be described as “lightning-like”. The
benefits to having such a speedy sprinter for a gate motor is twofold: Firstly, there are few things in life more
frustrating than coming home after a long day’s work and having to wait for an
entrance gate to creep open at a pace akin to that of an aged sloth. The second benefit has to do with seated
poultry. Yip; when we have to wait for a
slow gate to allow us into the property, we become sitting ducks for criminals. The D10 Turbo allows for ultra-fast opening
and closing, leaving potential intruders in the dust.
So that’s speed
covered. But what about power?
Simply put, the
D10 Turbo has plenty of it, and is able to run gates weighing up to a ton if
the operator running speed is adjusted accordingly. The table below denotes the maximum operator
running speed with corresponding maximum gate mass.
