The FAAC 844 series gate operators are heavy-duty, commercial/industrial sliding gate openers designed to move large gates with smooth, safe, and reliable performance. They feature oil-immersed gearboxes, twin-disk clutches, and advanced motor control systems (magnetic or inductive limit switches, magnetic encoders on newer models) to ensure both power and precision. The operators are built in die-cast aluminum housings for durability and are suitable for continuous or high frequency use depending on the model.

With lifting capacities of up to ~1,800kg (4,000 lb) for gates and gate leaves up to ~40-50m (depending on the pinion/rack module), FAAC 844 operators provide high thrust, well-controlled start/stop, anti-crushing safety, and features like manual release in case of power outage. They are widely used in commercial, industrial, and high-usage settings.
