The ALEKO AC1400 model is an AC-powered addition to the ALEKO family of slide gate operators. Designed with a 120V AC 1.5 HP equivalent motor, this chain-drive sliding gate opener provides exceptional starting torque and continuous operation, making it ideal for most applications. Constructed with an aluminum alloy chassis, it's corrosion resistant and light enough for one person to carry and install. The heavy-duty motor supports gates weighing up to 1400 lbs. and up to 50 ft. in length. Comes with high base, 20 Ft chain and chain mounting hardware.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Reliability in question
Not a big problem to install. Some of their hardware was a bit cheap so I had to build my own chain brackets. After six months it stopped working, about once a week I would have to go out and re-program the remote control. It became worse over time and eventually stopped working all together. I ordered a new PSB (they call it "the brain") and installed it. Then I could not adjust the safety current limit. The gate would only move a few inches then turn around. I had to get a second "brain" and install it. My gate is now working but I have a very low level of confidence that I will work for another year without further issues. I could not find my original receipt so the manufacturer would not replace the "brain" under warranty. As other people have stated, it started to rust right away (even though it seldom rains here) and the build quality is at best low.

works as described
I was planning to make a sliding gate drive out of an old reversible drill and several bicycle chains until I found this operator. The price is hard to beat; I guess i would pay the same for parts for my dyi project. It's a dedicated kit, with options for expansion and numerous pieces of hardware intended to fit miscellaneous gates that I might have. Much better than anything i would build myself from a scratch. The gate needs to be stiff enough to take the chain tension, in my case 2" square pipe was enough. Of course, with accordance to Murphys laws, the fittings didn't fit my gate, because of the intervening midstile, but several cantilevered pipes cut and welded together allowed for installation and proper positioning of the chain and magnets on my gate. I poured the concrete foundation (2 bags 80lbs) with embedded bolts and placed metal conduits to the additional circuit breaker. The drive base was welded in place to avoid theft. The drive operated once energized; there was no...
