BFT PHOBOS BT B40 Swing Gate Motor Oman, 700 kg

Description

The BFT PHOBOS BT B40 is a 24V swing gate motor for gates up to 700 kg and 4 metres per leaf, delivering 2000N of thrust with a magnetic limit switch and D-Track obstacle detection. This is the heaviest PHOBOS variant on this site, and it is built differently from the lighter A40 in more than just weight rating.

One requirement decides whether this motor alone covers your gate. It’s rated to 4 metres, but leaves over 3 metres need an electric lock fitted to hold the gate closed securely.

Electric lock swing gate motor Oman: why gates over 3 metres need one

The motor’s own holding force is enough for a shorter leaf against normal wind and pressure. Past 3 metres, the leverage on a longer leaf works against that holding force more than the motor alone is rated to resist, so BFT specifies an electric lock to take that job over, the same requirement already confirmed on BFT’s underground ELI motors.

If your leaf is between 3 and 4 metres, the lock is not optional extra security, it is what makes the installation match the manufacturer’s own rating. Tell us your leaf length and we’ll quote the lock alongside the motor where it applies.

BFT PHOBOS BT B40 vs A40, not the same motor scaled up

The B designation is not explained on the source we sourced this from, and BFT does not define it publicly in the material we’ve checked. What we can confirm is that the two motors are genuinely different machines, not the same design at two weight tiers.

B40 is faster, stronger and better dust protected than A40. It’s the more capable motor across nearly every published figure, not just weight. See BFT PHOBOS BT A40 if 500 kg genuinely covers your gate and the lower price suits your budget better.

700kg swing gate motor Oman: what 2000N of thrust actually moves

2000N of thrust is a genuine industrial figure for an arm mounted swing operator, and it’s the reason this model reaches 700 kg where most of BFT’s swing range in this catalogue tops out at 500 kg. Combined with a 30 cycles per hour rating, this suits a heavy commercial gate or a compound entrance carrying real daily traffic, not an occasional villa opening.

BFT PHOBOS BT B40 FAQ

Does my gate need an electric lock with the BFT PHOBOS BT B40?

Only if your leaf is longer than 3 metres. The motor covers up to 4 metres wide, but an electric lock is required past 3 metres to hold the gate closed securely.

What is the difference between BFT PHOBOS BT B40 and A40?

B40 covers more weight, 700 kg against 500 kg, with a longer rod stroke, wider opening angle, faster cycle time and IP44 dust protection where A40 carries IPX4. The letter B is not explained by the manufacturer’s own materials, but the two motors are genuinely different, not the same design at two tiers.

What is the BFT PHOBOS BT B40 price in Oman?

OMR 315.000 for a single motor. In stock, with installation and any electric lock requirement quoted separately once we’ve seen the gate.

Is the BFT PHOBOS BT B40 dust rated?

Yes, it carries IP44, both splash and dust protected, unlike the PHOBOS AC A25, AC A50 and BT A40 models on this site, which carry IPX4 with no dust rating.

What gate weight and traffic suits the BFT PHOBOS BT B40?

Up to 700 kg with 2000N of thrust and a 30 cycles per hour rating, suiting a heavy commercial gate or compound entrance carrying regular daily traffic rather than an occasional villa opening.

Is the BFT PHOBOS BT B40 sold as a kit?

No, this listing is a single motor only. Control board, accessories and any electric lock needed are quoted separately.

Do you install BFT PHOBOS swing gate motors across Oman?

Yes, in all eleven governorates. We confirm leaf length and whether an electric lock is needed before quoting.
