National Wheel-O-Vator Replacement Gate Opener

Compatible with many legacy FAAC swing gate operators and select National Wheel-O-Vator (NWOV) VPL systems.

Hydraulic gate opener designed as a reliable replacement for outdated swing operators.

This National Wheel-O-Vator gate operator delivers powerful hydraulic performance for swing gate and door systems, commonly used in wheelchair lift (VPL) enclosures and similar access control setups. While this unit is a proven replacement for many older FAAC openers, installation may require drilling new mounting holes or repositioning the arm to ensure proper alignment. Ideal for medium-traffic environments, it provides smooth, consistent motion with thermal motor protection and robust thrust output.
