Best BFT for closed aluminium gates
#1
Hi,

We have some dual leaf aluminum gates.

2m high by 1.75m per leaf and about 50kg per gate.

We arent in an especially exposed or windy location and appreciate we will need to leave open during high winds but which BFT swing arm openers are best?

I have had conflicting advice between the BFT lux (230v) and the BFT Giuno 24v as to which is recommded. The Giuno seems to be most modern but concern the obstacle detection could pose issues?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Me personally i would opt for a 230v for closed boarded gates. i would also use safety edges edges wherever there could be potential crushing hazards. Hope this helps.
