BFT ELI AC A40 Underground Swing Gate Motor Oman, Twin Kit

Description

The BFT ELI AC A40 is an underground swing gate motor, mounted below ground in a foundation box rather than as a visible arm beside the gate. Closed, the gate shows nothing at all, which is the whole reason to choose this over an arm mounted operator like the ATHOS range.

There is one decision to make before anything else, and it has nothing to do with the motor itself. The foundation box has to be cast into concrete before the final paving or driveway surface is laid. If your driveway is already finished, retrofitting this motor means breaking it out again.

BFT ELI AC A40 underground swing gate motor, decide this before the paving goes down

An underground operator needs a foundation box set in concrete at the hinge point of each leaf, wired and levelled before the gate is even hung. This has to be planned during construction or a major renovation, not added afterward.

If your gate and driveway already exist and you want a hidden installation, tell us early. If the paving is already finished, an arm mounted BFT ATHOS or KUSTOS operator is the practical route instead, since it mounts above ground with no excavation required.

BFT ELI AC A40 or ATHOS, underground against arm mounted

Underground motors are chosen for appearance more than performance. If a visible arm is not a concern, an arm mounted operator from the BFT swing gate motor range is usually the simpler and less disruptive install.

Why IP67 matters more on an underground BFT swing gate motor

IP67 covers full dust protection and temporary immersion, well beyond the IP54 rating on arm mounted operators. That is not a marketing upgrade, it is a requirement, since a foundation box sits below grade where rainwater and groundwater genuinely reach it.

We check the box seal and drainage during installation regardless of the IP rating, because a box that traps standing water fails eventually even at IP67, particularly on flat sites where surface water has nowhere else to go.

Torque, speed and gate weight, the gap this listing leaves open

350Nm at 1.45 RPM is the published output, but no maximum gate weight is stated anywhere on the source. Torque alone does not tell you what weight of gate this can carry without knowing the leverage the gate arm applies, which depends on your specific installation.

We do not guess this figure. Send us the gate weight, width and leaf construction and we confirm suitability against BFT’s actual rating before quoting, rather than repeat a number the manufacturer has not published for this listing.

What is included with the BFT ELI AC A40 kit

• Two BFT ELI AC A40 underground motors
• Control board, RIGEL6 or ALENA SW2, confirmed at order
• Photocell pair, 30 metre range
• Flashing light with antenna
• Two remote controls, 50 to 100 metre range
• Push button
• Two fixing brackets and two wall brackets

Not included: the foundation box’s concrete work, safety edge, and mains cabling to the site. A safety edge and extra remotes come from accessories and remote controls.

Why the BFT ELI AC A40 is priced on request

Three things change the price on every underground installation: whether the foundation box and civil work are already provided for or need doing from scratch, which control board ships with your unit, and the gate weight once confirmed against the torque rating. We quote it properly once we have those answers.

Send us your gate width, weight if known, and whether the site is new construction or an existing driveway, and we will confirm the full price including any civil work.

BFT ELI AC A40 FAQ

When does the foundation box need to be installed for the BFT ELI AC A40?

Before the final paving or driveway surface is laid. It is cast into concrete at each hinge point, so it needs planning during construction or a major renovation rather than fitting to a finished driveway.

What is the price of the BFT ELI AC A40 in Oman?

Price on request. It depends on whether civil work is needed for the foundation box, which control board ships with the unit, and your confirmed gate weight. Send us your gate details for a full quote.

Can the BFT ELI AC A40 be fitted to an existing finished driveway?

Yes, but it means breaking out and reinstating the paving at each hinge point. If your driveway is already finished, an arm mounted operator like BFT ATHOS is usually the simpler route.

What gate weight can the BFT ELI AC A40 handle?

The manufacturer’s listing does not publish a maximum weight, only a maximum width of 4 metres. We confirm suitability against your gate weight and BFT’s rating before quoting rather than estimate it.

Which control board comes with the BFT ELI AC A40 kit?

The listing names two compatible boards, RIGEL6 and ALENA SW2, without stating which ships as standard. We confirm this at order.

Why is the BFT ELI AC A40 rated IP67 instead of IP54?

Because it sits below ground in a foundation box exposed to rainwater and groundwater, unlike an arm mounted motor sitting above grade. IP67 covers full dust protection and temporary immersion.

Do you install underground swing gate motors across Oman?

Yes, in all eleven governorates. We plan the foundation box at the construction stage wherever possible to avoid disturbing finished paving.
