Fadini K430.1 Dardo Double Swing Gate Opener Kit
The Fadini K430.1 Dardo is a premium Italian-engineered automation kit designed for residential and light commercial swing gates where reliability, strength, and smooth operation are essential. Featuring powerful 230V electromechanical ram motors, the system is ideal for automating double-leaf swing gates up to 2.8m per leaf or up to 350kg per leaf, delivering consistent performance in demanding environments.
Unlike underground operators, the Dardo 430's above-ground design provides easier installation and simplified maintenance while retaining an attractive, discreet appearance. The robust drive mechanism combines a steel rolled worm screw, brass threaded nut, Teflon crown gear and precision bearings to ensure quiet operation, exceptional durability and long service life.
Safety is at the heart of the system. The advanced encoder monitoring and amperometric obstacle detection continuously monitor gate movement, automatically stopping and reversing if an obstruction is detected. Smooth acceleration and deceleration further reduce mechanical stress and improve overall gate performance.
The integrated adjustable mechanical limit stops remove the need for separate ground-mounted stops in many installations, while the convenient manual release system allows gates to be operated during power failures using the same key that unlocks the protective motor cover.
Whether you're automating timber, metal or composite swing gates, the Fadini K430.1 Dardo Double Swing Gate Kit delivers professional-grade performance, proven reliability and the quality expected from one of Europe's leading gate automation manufacturers.
