Description
The DoorKing 9230 Series is the most powerful operator in the 9200 Maximum Security Series lineup, engineered for the largest and heaviest slide gates used in high-security industrial, government, military, transportation, utility, and critical infrastructure applications. Designed exclusively for Class III and Class IV restricted-access environments, the 9230 combines a heavy-duty 3 HP continuous-duty motor with adjustable variable-speed operation, fail-secure functionality, and industry-leading reliability.
Built around a rugged oil-bath gear reduction system and advanced solid-state control platform, the 9230 Series is capable of operating gates weighing up to 5,000 pounds while providing adjustable speeds from approximately 0.3 to 2 feet per second. The result is smooth, controlled movement for large perimeter security gates while maintaining maximum access control and operational safety.
Performance & Application
The DoorKing 9230 is designed for facilities where gate size, weight, and security requirements exceed the capabilities of traditional commercial gate operators. Large industrial slide gates protecting military installations, utility substations, ports, transportation facilities, correctional institutions, and secure government sites demand an operator capable of handling significant gate loads while maintaining precise control and dependable operation.
Powered by a 3 HP continuous-duty motor and heavy-duty 30:1 gear reduction running in a continuous oil bath, the 9230 provides exceptional torque for demanding applications. The adjustable solid-state speed control allows installers to fine-tune gate travel speed based on site requirements, helping optimize both security and throughput.
Advanced features including anti-tailgating functionality, adjustable partial-open settings, slow-start and slow-stop operation, fail-secure performance, direct-drive limit switches, and Gate Tracker™ monitoring capabilities make the 9230 a complete solution for high-security access control environments.
