BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL Swing Gate Motor Oman, 400 kg Single Left Arm
The BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL is a single 230V swing gate motor for gates up to 400 kg and 4 metres per leaf, built for the left arm side. It runs the ALENA SW2 control board, opens to 110 degrees in 16 seconds, and is sold as the motor and arm only, not a full kit. Despite the higher number, A40 is rated for less weight than A25 but a longer leaf. Supplied and fitted across Oman by Doors Auto.
Description
The BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL is a single 230V swing gate motor for one leaf up to 400 kg and 4 metres long, built specifically for the left arm side of a double gate, or for a single leaf gate opening from the left.
Read the numbers carefully before ordering. A40 is not a bigger A25. It is rated for less weight, 400 kg against 700 kg, but a longer leaf, 4 metres against 2.5. The two models trade off differently, and the higher number in the name does not mean more capacity across the board.
BFT ATHOS A40 or A25, why the bigger number is not the stronger motor
| Model | Maximum leaf weight | Maximum leaf length | Rod stroke | Cycle time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATHOS AC A25 | 700 kg | 2.5 metres | 300mm | 14 seconds |
| ATHOS AC A40, this product | 400 kg | 4 metres | 400mm | 16 seconds |
A25 suits a short, heavy leaf, a solid gate on narrow pillars. A40 suits a long, lighter leaf, a wide opening with a lighter infill. Choose by your actual leaf length and weight together, not by which model number sounds bigger. See the BFT ATHOS AC A25 if your leaf is shorter and heavier than this model covers.
AL means single left arm, not a complete gate kit
This listing is one motor, built for the left side. It is not the twin motor kit sold under the A25 listing, and it does not include photocells, a flashing light or remotes.
| What you need | What to order |
|---|---|
| Replacing one failed left side motor | ATHOS AC A40 AL, this product |
| Replacing one failed right side motor | ATHOS AC A40 AR, the matching right hand unit |
| New double gate, both leaves, with accessories | Ask us for the full ATHOS AC A40 kit, AL and AR paired with a board, photocells, flashing light and remotes |
If you are fitting a new gate rather than replacing one motor, tell us and we will quote the complete kit rather than a single side.

BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL pillar depth, more critical than on the A25
With a 400mm rod stroke driving a 4 metre leaf to 110 degrees, this motor needs more pillar clearance than the shorter A25. A longer leaf swinging through the same angle sweeps a wider arc, and the arm has further to travel to get there.
Measure the depth from the hinge to the inside pillar face on both leaves before ordering, and check it against BFT’s pillar depth chart for the ATHOS range. A pillar sized for a 2.5 metre leaf will very often be too shallow for a 4 metre one.
Send us a photo with the measurement across it through the contact page and we will confirm before you order.
What is included with the BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL
- ATHOS AC A40 AL motor and arm assembly
Not included: control board, photocells, flashing light, remotes, push button and fixing plates. If you are replacing a single motor on a working system, you likely already have these. If not, ask us for the full kit alongside this motor. Boards and safety devices sit under accessories, and remotes under remote controls.

BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL FAQ
What does AL mean on the BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL?
Arm left. It is a single motor built for the left side of a double swing gate, or a single leaf gate opening leftward. The matching right hand unit is the AR variant.
Is the BFT ATHOS AC A40 stronger than the ATHOS AC A25?
Not in weight capacity. A25 covers 700 kg on a shorter 2.5 metre leaf, while A40 covers 400 kg on a longer 4 metre leaf. Choose by your actual leaf weight and length together.
Does the BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL include a control board and photocells?
No. This listing is the motor and arm only. The board, photocells, flashing light and remotes are ordered separately, or as part of a full kit if you are fitting a new gate.
What is the price of the BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL in Oman?
OMR 212.000 for the single motor. In stock in our Muscat shop, with installation quoted separately once we have checked your pillar depth.
How much pillar depth does the BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL need?
More than the A25, since it drives a longer 4 metre leaf through the same 110 degree maximum angle with a 400mm rod stroke. Measure from the hinge to the inside pillar face and send us the figure before ordering.
Can I buy just one BFT ATHOS AC A40 AL to replace a failed motor?
Yes. If only one side of your double gate has failed, order the AL or AR to match the failed side rather than a full kit.
Do you install BFT ATHOS swing gate motors across Oman?
Yes, in all eleven governorates. We confirm leaf weight, length and pillar depth before quoting.
