Description
The LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Swing Gate Operator Solar Kit provides a complete dual-actuator LA500 configuration with the essential components for compatible solar-powered installations. Designed for properties with dual swing gates, this package combines the primary LA500PKGUL operator system with the LA500DCS secondary actuator, allowing both gate leaves to operate as a synchronized system.
The solar configuration makes this package an excellent option for residential, light commercial, gated community, ranch, rural, and controlled-access entrances where extending conventional AC power to the gate may be difficult or expensive.
Built around LiftMaster's commercial-grade 24VDC LA500 platform, the system provides dependable linear actuator performance along with battery-powered operation, solar capability, monitored safety-device support, and LiftMaster access-control technology.

Why Choose the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Solar Kit?
The LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Solar Kit is designed for properties that need automated operation of two swing gate leaves without relying exclusively on conventional AC utility power at the entrance.
Instead of purchasing the primary operator, secondary actuator, and solar components individually, this GatePoint Solutions package brings the major components together into one dual-gate solar solution.
The LA500PKGUL serves as the primary operator system, while the included LA500DCS secondary actuator operates the second gate leaf. Combined with the K94-37236 solar harness, 20W 12V solar panel, and mounting bracket, the package provides the foundation for a properly configured solar-powered dual LA500 installation.
This makes it especially attractive for long driveways, rural properties, ranch entrances, gated communities, residential estates, commercial properties, and remote controlled-access entrances where trenching or extending AC power can add significant installation cost.
LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Solar Kit Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a dual LA500 gate operator system?
This package includes both the LA500PKGUL primary operator package and LA500DCS secondary actuator arm. Together, they are designed to automate compatible dual swing gate installations with two gate leaves.
What solar equipment comes with the dual LA500 kit?
The package includes one LiftMaster K94-37236 solar harness, one 20W 12V solar panel, and one solar panel mounting bracket along with the LA500 primary and secondary operator equipment.
Can the LiftMaster LA500 operate a dual swing gate using solar power?
Yes. The LA500 platform can be configured for compatible dual-gate solar installations when properly equipped and sized for the application's power requirements.
What size gates can the LiftMaster LA500 operate?
The LA500 platform is designed for swing gates up to 18 ft. long and 1,600 lbs. per gate leaf, subject to the gate configuration, hardware, construction, site conditions, and proper installation.
Is one 20W solar panel sufficient for every dual LA500 installation?
Not necessarily. Dual operators generally create greater power demand than single-operator systems, and solar requirements vary according to gate cycles, geographic location, available sunlight, accessory loads, battery capacity, and other site conditions.
The included 20W panel provides the package's base solar equipment, but the installation should be properly sized according to current LiftMaster solar specifications.
Does the dual LA500 solar system require batteries?
Yes. The operator system uses battery power, while the solar equipment replenishes the battery system. The gate actuators are not powered directly from the solar panel.
Can I add a keypad, remotes, or other access-control equipment?
Yes. Compatible keypads, radio controls, access-control systems, and other accessories can be incorporated into an LA500 installation. However, additional devices can increase system power consumption and should be considered when sizing a solar system.
Do you offer this kit with access-control accessories included?
Yes. GatePoint Solutions offers additional LA500 solar gate operator packages with access-control equipment for customers who want a more complete entrance solution.
Professional Installation Recommended
Automatic dual swing gate systems require proper gate construction, actuator positioning, electrical configuration, and monitored entrapment protection.
Installers should follow the current LiftMaster installation documentation and applicable UL 325 requirements when determining safety-device placement and configuring the system. Solar installations should also be sized according to site-specific sunlight, expected gate cycles, accessory loads, and battery requirements.
Where can I find the LiftMaster LA500 manual and wiring diagram?
