Advantage Gate Products Releases X2 Vehicle Gate Operating System
Advantage Gate Products, Lodi, Calif., has recently introduced the new X2 Vehicle Gate Operating System. The X2 is delivered as a complete and assembled package with the gate operator, controls, hinges and hinge post assembled together as a single unit, all in a secure steel housing. The design of the X2 has been a work in progress for the last five years. When the decision was made to build a production model X2, we knew the industry was not interested in just another new gate operator. That would mean new technology to learn, more parts to inventory, more training for their technicians, etc. We looked at many producers for our components but ultimately decided on FAAC of Italy. FAAC is the world’s largest specialized manufacturer of automated gate operating equipment. In 1965, they originated the use of hydraulic gate opening components and have since perfected the technology. FAAC had most of the components we needed and they were willing to work with us to supply the specialized products required during the design phase. Advantage Gate Products has, and will continue to establish relationships with gate automation distributors throughout the United States and Canada. The X2 is only available through distributors. Advantage Gate Products also manufactures and sells a variety of other innovative, cost effective products for the gate industry. They are currently seeking new distribution partners throughout the US, Canada and Mexico.
