Description
The DoorKing 9240 Series is the most powerful operator in the 9200 Maximum Security Series lineup, engineered for extremely large and heavy slide gates used in high-security environments. Designed exclusively for Class III and Class IV restricted-access applications, the 9240 combines a heavy-duty 3 HP continuous-duty motor, massive gate handling capacity, fail-secure operation, and adjustable variable-speed controls to deliver dependable performance for critical infrastructure and secure industrial facilities.
Capable of operating gates weighing up to 8,000 pounds and spanning up to 100 feet in length, the 9240 is built for facilities where perimeter security, durability, and reliability are mission-critical.
Performance & Application
The DoorKing 9240 is specifically designed for the largest and most demanding slide gate applications. Utilizing a robust 30:1 oil-bath gear reduction system, a 3 HP industrial motor, and heavy-duty #80 drive chain, the operator delivers exceptional torque and smooth gate movement even under extreme operating conditions.
The adjustable solid-state speed controller allows operation from approximately 0.3 to 2 feet per second, while integrated slow-start and slow-stop functionality reduces stress on gate structures and mechanical components. The included heavy-duty mounting pedestal provides the structural support necessary for operating oversized gates in military, utility, transportation, and industrial environments.
Advanced anti-tailgating controls, selectable loop functions, direct-drive limit switches, Gate Tracker™ monitoring capabilities, and fail-secure operation make the 9240 one of the most capable high-security gate operators available.
