FUTURE LIFE sliding gate automation systems are the ideal solution for both residential and industrial locations. They are suitable for moderate and heavy use, even in difficult weather conditions. Bft sliding gate operators are able to regulate gates up to 4000 kg in weight at a speed of 16 metres per minute. The gate operators share the same finishes and structures throughout the range, helping to simplify the installation. Bft has equipped its sliding gate motors with personalised keys for manual release and has the D-Track function which regulates the amount of torque required to open and close gates for safety and reliability. The Ultra versions of the sliding gate products connect to the Web via WiFi, TCP IP and RS 485. Installers can check the gate settings and diagnostics using the Bft-developed U-Link secure protocol. Customers can download the dedicated Bft app onto their smartphones or tablets to control opening and closing.
