    Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony GeatoTop of Page

Anthony Gaeto Application Engineer

"Texas is known to have some of the toughest conditions for a slide operator. Some areas have high wind and sand storms, while others get hit with heavy rain. The people at Apollo know this because they live there and they have designed this operator to be effective in their own backyard. And you know if it can stand up there, it can stand up just about anywhere.

The real highlight of this opener is in its control board. It features Apollo's new 1050US control board. The 1050US is intelligent, easy to use and a leap above many other comparable control boards. Among the many advantages of the 1050US board is the self-adjustment to natural factors. All UL 325 approved boards have an adjustable inherent obstruction sensor. The 1050US board takes it further by self-learning what natural obstructions already exist. For example, if your gate is heavy but you want the obstruction sensor to be very sensitive to avoid damage or injury the 1050US series board will automatically learn changes in the momentum caused by the weight of the gate and differentiate them from an actual obstacle.

Gate Crafters is dedicated to getting the right gate opener for your gate. As more gate openers are being made economically feasible and easy to maintain, the selection is going to grow ever wider. That's where Gate Crafters comes in. We have extensive amounts of educational material on our website to help you become an informed consumer. We also have our factory-trained representatives standing by to answer all your gate and gate opener questions. The combination of our customers passion for home improvement and Gate Crafters' wealth of knowledge is a perfect match and cannot be duplicated."
