USAutomatic Ranger HD Single Swing Gate Opener
The Ranger HD (Ball Screw) is a unique gate opener featuring an innovative ball screw drive. We chose to sell this gate opener because of this distinctive feature. Traditional electromechanical gate openers use a lubricated Acme screw to drive the piston, relying on lubricant to reduce friction. In contrast, a ball screw uses small ball bearings that ride between the drive screw and the “nut” attached to the end of the piston. This design is significantly more efficient, virtually eliminating drag from friction and extending the life of the screw drive by a factor of four. We recommend this gate opener for areas of high use, such as lighter to medium-weight commercial applications and high-volume residential gates, especially when solar power is desired.
The Ranger HD is an excellent addition for ornamental iron, chain link, farm, ranch, and all other types of gates. This gate opener is solar-friendly and easy for homeowners to install. It can be powered by a DC transformer (included) or a solar panel (not supplied). This low-voltage transformer plugs into a battery controller and can provide up to 575 cycles a day without decreasing the battery charge. Its unique charging system design allows the transformer to be installed away from the gate area if needed, meaning the transformer’s low-voltage wire can be extended. The solar option enables installation in remote areas or applications where solar charging is preferred. The included battery charge controller accepts either the DC transformer or solar panel and comes with a DC plug for easy installation. It also includes two LCR two-button transmitters, photo eyes, and mounting hardware. Another great feature of this unit is the electronic limit control on board for easier position adjustment.

We have a testing area, we have factory and internal training courses, we build gates and have our own gates that are automated, we attended all industry trade shows in multiple countries and are a member of the AFA, and we pay visits to our chosen manufacturers' factories.

When you see and actually use as many products as we have you tend to have many ideas for minor changes that have major impacts. We acted on these ideas and have utilized them to help thousands of customers automate their gates.
The following tools and supplies are suggested in the manufacturer manual for optimal installation. They are not provided by Gate Crafters, however, most tools are available at local hardware stores for purchase or rental.
- SAE Standard wrenches & sockets

Welding is the recommended method of securing the linear actuator mounts to the gate and hinge post. Bolt on brackets require frequent service to keep tight. They must be very securely attached (i.e. carriage bolts with lock nuts and washers). Lag type bolts are not recommended. Loose or unstable linear actuator mounts will result in improper operation. Please refer to the Installation Manual for Tools Needed. Depending on the type of gate, power supply and contributing environmental factors additional tools or supplies may be needed. Please review the product manual associated with this gate opener model for further details. |
