LiftMaster rates the LA412 platform for compatible swing gates up to 16 ft. or 850 lbs. Gate construction, hinge condition, installation geometry, wind loading, solar exposure, battery capacity, accessory loads, daily cycles, and other site conditions must also be considered when designing a dual solar gate system.
Why Choose the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual?
The LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual Swing Gate Operator Package is designed for residential properties requiring automation of two swing gate leaves where solar power is a primary consideration.
The LA412PKGUL provides the primary actuator, control system, batteries and associated operator equipment, while the LA412DCS secondary actuator allows the second gate leaf to be automated as part of the dual-gate configuration.
What makes this system especially useful is the LA412's solar-focused architecture. LiftMaster describes the LA412 as a 12VDC Solar Residential Linear Actuator Package and a solar-optimized system, rather than simply a conventional operator that happens to accept solar equipment.
That makes the dual LA412 particularly attractive for:
- Residential estates with dual driveway gates
- Ranch and rural property entrances
- Remote residential entrances
- Long private driveways
- Gated residential properties
- Dual gates located far from available AC power
- Properties where trenching electrical service would be difficult
- Locations where extending utility power could be expensive
- Residential entrances intentionally designed around solar gate automation
The LA412 platform combines this solar capability with the professional features expected from a LiftMaster gate operator, including Security+ 2.0®, smooth start/stop operation, obstruction sensing, monitored safety-device compatibility, and LiftMaster access-control integration.

LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a dual LA412 gate operator system?
This package combines the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL primary operator system with the LA412DCS secondary actuator, allowing two compatible swing gate leaves to be automated.
LiftMaster specifically identifies LA412PKGU + LA412DCS as the dual-gate configuration for the LA412 solar operator system.
Is this package for one gate or two gates?
This package is designed for a dual swing gate entrance with two gate leaves.
For an entrance with only one swing gate leaf, choose the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL 12VDC Residential Solar Single Swing Gate Operator Package.
What size gates can the LiftMaster LA412 operate?
LiftMaster rates the LA412 platform for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs.
For the dual configuration, each gate leaf must be properly evaluated based on its dimensions, weight, construction, hinges, wind loading, installation geometry, and other site conditions.
Is the LiftMaster LA412 specifically designed for solar?
Yes. LiftMaster describes the LA412 as a solar-optimized 12VDC residential linear actuator system.
That is the biggest distinction between the LA412 and LA400 ecosystems we're building.
Does the dual LA412 require more solar capacity than a single LA412?
Potentially, yes.
A dual system operates two actuators rather than one, and actual energy requirements depend on gate size and weight, daily cycles, available sunlight, geographic solar zone, batteries, accessory loads, and other installation conditions.
Solar capacity should therefore be properly calculated for the installation rather than assuming that the same panel configuration is appropriate for every single and dual system.
Does this package include a solar panel?
I would handle this exactly like the Single listing:
Do not advertise a specific panel quantity in the base Dual package unless you know those panels are physically included in what you're selling.
LiftMaster currently identifies the SP10W12V 12V/10W Solar Panel Kit as compatible with the LA412 platform.
When we create your GatePoint LA412 complete kits, we can explicitly state the exact solar panels you're bundling and optimize those listings around that configuration.
How does the LA412 solar system operate?
Solar panels provide charging energy to the system's batteries. Energy stored in those batteries is then used to operate the gate actuators.
This is why solar sizing matters, especially on a dual system. Panel capacity, battery capacity, sunlight availability, daily cycles and accessory current draw all influence performance.
Is the LA412 residential or commercial?
The LA412 is primarily a residential solar swing gate operator. LiftMaster officially describes it as a 12VDC Solar Residential Linear Actuator Package.
For heavier or more demanding residential/light-commercial applications, the LA500PKGUL is the appropriate step-up platform.
Does the LA412 work with LiftMaster remote controls?
Yes. LiftMaster lists compatible encrypted single-button remotes for the LA412, and the platform supports Security+ 2.0® technology.
GatePoint Solutions also offers complete LA412 packages with compatible LiftMaster access-control accessories.
Can I add a wireless keypad?
Yes. Compatible LiftMaster wireless access-control equipment can be incorporated into an LA412 installation.
GatePoint Solutions also offers LA412 Single and Dual complete solar gate kits with KPW5 and KPW250 keypad configurations, allowing customers to choose the access-control capacity appropriate for their property.
What is the difference between the LA412 Single and Dual packages?
The LA412 Single is designed to automate one swing gate leaf.
The LA412 Dual combines the primary LA412PKGUL system with an LA412DCS secondary actuator to automate two gate leaves.
The dual configuration also places greater demand on the stored solar energy system, so panel capacity, batteries, accessory loads, sunlight and expected daily cycles should be evaluated accordingly.
What is the difference between the LA412 and LA400?
The LA412 is a 12VDC solar-optimized residential linear actuator platform, while the LA400 is the 24VDC residential linear actuator family.
For customers specifically planning a residential entrance around solar power, the LA412 provides the clearer purpose-built solution.
What is the difference between the LA412 and LA500?
The LA412 focuses on residential solar applications and is rated for compatible gates up to 16 ft. or 850 lbs.
The LA500 is the heavier-duty residential/light-commercial linear actuator platform for larger and more demanding gate applications.
Gate dimensions, weight, construction, expected cycles, wind loading, power availability, and site conditions should all be considered when choosing between them.
What safety devices are required for an LA412 dual swing gate?
Automatic dual swing gates require appropriate monitored entrapment protection devices based on the gate design and identified entrapment zones.
LiftMaster states that external entrapment protection devices must be added to meet UL 325 requirements.
Because a dual swing gate may create multiple potential entrapment zones, installers should follow current LiftMaster documentation, UL 325 requirements, local codes, and applicable safety standards when designing the system.
