Professional swing gate automation with 30 years of proven reliability

FAAC's best-selling gate operator worldwide: quiet, powerful and built to last.

When you want swing gate automation that will work flawlessly every day for the next 20 years, with no surprises and no costly maintenance, there is only one choice: the FAAC 400. This is not a simple electric motor but a hydraulic system engineered to withstand time, temperature swings and intensive use of up to 70 cycles a day.

Why the FAAC 400 is unlike any other gate operator

The hydraulic technology of the FAAC 400 means every internal component is constantly lubricated and cooled by FAAC's special HP OIL. This delivers three concrete benefits you will notice every day:

• Movement as quiet as the door of a luxury car
  No irritating mechanical noise when you come home in the evening. Your gate opens with the discretion of a German limousine, without waking the neighbours or disturbing the family.
• Consistent power even with heavy or infilled gates
  With 6,200 Newtons of thrust (the equivalent of lifting 620 kg), the FAAC 400 handles gates up to 7 metres wide with ease, even solid wrought iron, infilled or wind-exposed leaves.
• No unscheduled maintenance for years
  Because the components are constantly lubricated, there are no parts that wear out quickly. That means once it is installed you forget the automation is even there, while using it every day with absolute reliability.

The only operator that protects your gate against attempted break-ins

The FAAC 400 CBC version (with locking on closing) incorporates a hydraulic lock that makes it physically impossible to force the gate open from the outside. This is not a simple electric lock that can be tampered with: it is a mechanical-hydraulic system offering insurmountable resistance. For isolated houses, businesses with warehouses or high-value properties, this is the difference between sleeping soundly and worrying every night.

It always works, even in extreme conditions

Volcanic ash, sea air, temperature swings between summer and winter: the FAAC 400 is certified to keep working without missing a beat. Its protection rating of IP55 means dust, rain and splashing water cannot damage the internal components. We have installed FAAC 400 units even in areas exposed to ash from Mount Etna, and after 10 years they are still working perfectly.
