It should. My gate is longer than yours, but not as high. It is very heavy and the ALEKO works great.

All I can say is that the Aleko has lots of force in opening, as long as everything is set up correctly and aligned. My gate opens with ease though not as heavy as your. Hopefully it is not against a grade. Then I would not know.

I cannot get either one of my openers to work. I have contacted the seller several times and none of their suggestions helped. I contacted five local gate opener dealers and none of them has any experience with ALEKO. I contacted ALEKO to ask the name of anyone local who will help me and they did not even reply. From my experience you may draw your ownconclusions. JNMPE@aol.com

I just checked the other question/ answers for the size opening and one reviewer was adamant that the widest opening for this gate is 40 inches. You definitely need to look for a longer gate. It will not be secure.

It should work, I have a 14' light weight steel gate, and it works just fine. If I were you, I would contact Sentry and ask their advice. Jose

The product description says it will fit and opening from 29-1/2" to 35". I believe my staircase opening is 32" and this gate fits well without the extension. You can see my installation at this link:

The lighter colored (and weight) bars on the end slide if the rubber gaskets are stripped and several of mine were. I transport dogs for Weimaraner Rescue, puppies and 100+ pounds. I don't care what kind of gate you get, a determined dog can get through, around over or past it. If it is your dog, you just teach it to stay. My personal dog doesn't mess with it at all. The gates that go from floor to ceiling are much sturdier and while a little trouble to take in and out last forever. In my new SUV, the angle of the seat and ceiling made my old one impossible to use.

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

Should work fine. I used one on a 6' wide gate and it is stable. I did use lighter wood (cedar, not treated) for extra assurance. Had to drill new holes for the set screws that keep the 2 halves from sliding apart since the holes drilled by the manufacturer were on the wrong side of one of the tubes.

JoJo,I have the 300 S driving a 14 foot, I am guessing, 500 lb steel gate, which it does with ease. ( I did increase the positioning of the piston mounting from 4" and 7" called for in the manual to 6" and 10". ) I would not hesitate to use this unit on a wooden gate.

Yes, the right length of chain and top quality rollers will give the least resistance for the gate to operate smoothly. My gate is built on a 41' frame and the actual opening width is 27'. Check out the one on Instructables web site.

I agree with Wendy B. below. I have two of the carts and I pass through a 41 inch gate with no problems. They are very handy, but do keep them under cover as they will rust. I've had to "overhaul" my oldest one as I hung to on the fence for storage and that was a mistake.

Kenneth - My trailer gate is heavy but not that heavy. I just use one double barrel & it works great. I do not know if two would work but they would certanily reduce the effort needed to lift the gate. Good luckWayne

Good morning. Walt, I can't answer that really. I have two sets of,(had) two sets of Mighty Mule openers. A double gate set up and a single. The single controlled an 18' gate, and the doubles controlled 8' gates. In both cases, the limits are always going out of alignment, in which case the lock will not catch as it should. I finally had it with the single and took it out. As for Mighty Mule, I'm not a fan. I wish I would have gotten a descent set of gates. The single now sits in the shop, useless. Hope this helps.

difficult to say without knowing the size and weight of the gate and strength of the fence and fence posts...call Mighly Mule and get some answers...

All it takes is the right length of chain.The real key is having good quality rollers. If your gate does not move easily with out an opener them your opener won't last as long.The rollers I'm using we're more expensive but well worth it

Outside diameter is about 4.5". Thickness is about 1" each. So with one on either side of the gate they would reduce your opening by 2".

Yes that is how my gate is designed. It will work fine! Be careful not to loose the springs that come with it. Very good latch that should last outlast the gate.
