⚠️ Wind Load Advisory
Manufacturer specs do not factor in wind. If your location experiences strong winds or your gate is solid-faced, we recommend upgrading to a pad-mounted operator like the CSW24UL. For assistance choosing the right model, contact us at +1 (505) 605-2205 or email support@gatemasterpros.com.
