BFT KUSTOS BT A40 Swing Gate Motor Oman, 500 kg

Description

The BFT KUSTOS BT A40 is a 24V swing gate motor for gates up to 500 kg and 4 metres per leaf, built for intensive daily use rather than occasional villa openings. It locks the gate mechanically when closed and its worm screw drive is fully enclosed, protecting both the mechanism and anyone standing near it.

Before ordering, confirm the exact model. BFT also sells a KUSTOS Ultra BT A40 at the same 500 kg rating, and the two are not necessarily the same internals despite the shared weight class.

BFT KUSTOS BT A40 or KUSTOS Ultra, confirm which one you need

Both carry a 500 kg rating. The Ultra designation, as with BFT’s DEIMOS Ultra sliding motor, typically means a revised control board and internals rather than simply a marketing refresh, so parts are not guaranteed interchangeable between the two.

If you are replacing an existing operator, take the exact model and code from the rating plate rather than ordering by weight alone. If you are unsure which you have, send us a photo of the motor housing and the plate and we will confirm before you order.

Why the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 needs no floor stops

Most swing gate installations need a floor stop to define the fully open position mechanically, an extra fitting that gets kicked, tripped over, or corrodes into the driveway. The KUSTOS BT A40 uses a magnetic limit switch paired with integrated adjustable mechanical stops, so the operator itself defines both the open and closed positions precisely.

That is a genuine installation advantage on a driveway used by pedestrians and vehicles, not just a spec sheet feature, and it is one of the reasons this model is worth its price against a cheaper unbranded alternative.

Intensive duty, and what that means for a 500kg swing gate in Oman

Intensive duty suits a compound entrance or commercial gate cycling regularly through the day, well beyond an occasional villa gate. At 40W and 24V, the motor runs cooler under repeated use than a 230V AC equivalent, which matters through a Muscat or Sohar summer where an operator working constantly in direct heat needs the thermal margin.

The fully covered worm screw also earns its keep here. An exposed drive on a gate cycling often collects dust and grit faster than a sealed one, and the covering protects both the mechanism and anyone standing close to it while it runs.

What is included, and what a BFT KUSTOS BT A40 does not include

• BFT KUSTOS BT A40 operator
• Fixing brackets

Not included: control board, photocells, flashing light, remotes and push button, unless purchased as part of a kit. Check with us whether your listing is motor only or a full kit before ordering, since both configurations exist across the BFT swing range. Boards and safety devices sit under accessories, remotes under remote controls.

BFT KUSTOS BT A40 against the rest of the BFT swing gate motor range

If your leaf is lighter, the BFT ATHOS AC A40 covers a similar 4 metre leaf at a lower 400 kg rating for less outlay. For a light pedestrian gate, the BFT E5 BT A18 is the better fit. See the full BFT swing gate motor range to compare every model by weight and duty class.

BFT KUSTOS BT A40 FAQ

What is the difference between BFT KUSTOS BT A40 and KUSTOS Ultra BT A40?

Both are rated for 500 kg, but the Ultra designation typically means a revised control board and internals, similar to BFT’s DEIMOS versus DEIMOS Ultra sliding motors. Confirm the exact model from the rating plate if you are replacing a single part.

Does the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 need a floor stop?

No. Its magnetic limit switch and adjustable mechanical stops define the open and closed positions without one, which is one of the reasons to choose it over a cheaper unbranded alternative.

What is the price of the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 in Oman?

OMR 250.000. In stock in our Muscat shop, with installation quoted separately once we have seen the gate.

Is the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 sold as a motor only or a full kit?

Confirm with us before ordering, as both configurations exist across this range. This listing is priced as shown, and we will tell you exactly what is included before you commit.

How intensive a duty cycle can the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 handle?

It is rated for intensive use, suiting a compound entrance or commercial gate cycling regularly through the day, beyond what an occasional villa gate motor is built for.

Does the BFT KUSTOS BT A40 lock the gate when closed?

Yes, it is an irreversible operator with mechanical locking, so the gate cannot be pushed open by hand once closed.

Do you install BFT KUSTOS swing gate motors across Oman?

Yes, in all eleven governorates. We confirm the exact model and configuration before quoting, since this range includes more than one variant at the same weight.
