Bring the unyielding reliability and near-silent operation of heavy industrial fluid-dynamics to your entrance with the Fadini APROLI 280 BATT Double Locking 230V Oil-Hydraulic Articulated Arm Dual Swing Gate Automation Kit (VIX 53 Edition). Engineered explicitly for high-frequency residential communities, commercial properties, and premium estates featuring massive structural brick or stone pillars, this professional-grade kit effortlessly handles pairs of swing gates up to 2.0 meters wide per leaf or up to 400 kg in weight.
Unlike standard electric motors that chatter or wear down under constant loads, the Aproli 280 BATT features an integrated 0.25 HP hydraulic lobe pump and piston assembly submerged in a specialized fluid reservoir. This variant features a true Bidirectional Hydraulic Lock Matrix, which seals the hydraulic fluid paths the moment the motor cycle completes. This locks the gates in place when open or closed, resisting forced entry attempts without needing an external electric lock. Managed by the reliable Elpro 27 Logic Board, this kit includes high-pressure physical bypass safety valves alongside the high-security VIX 53 868MHz rolling-code system.
True Oil-Hydraulic Articulated Drive: Combines an internal high-pressure hydraulic piston loop with a heavy-duty, anti-shearing articulated arm to smoothly pivot around wide pillar corners.
Bidirectional Double Locking: Fluid-dynamic block valves isolate pressure to secure the gate frame in both the open and closed positions, eliminating the need for complex electric floor latches.
Dual High-Pressure Bypass Valves: Features independent mechanical safety adjustments for opening (Red valve) and closing (Green valve) force, ensuring exact anti-crush sensitivity configuration.
Weatherproof Performance (IP67): The heavy-duty internal hydraulic block is fully protected against harsh winter environments, operating reliably from -20°C up to +80°C.
Automating high-class timber or heavy wrought-iron gates hung on large architectural pillars (such as 500x500mm or 600x600mm columns) typically strains electromechanical rams due to poor hinge-line geometry. The Fadini APROLI 280 BATT 230V system bypasses these mechanical limitations using fluid power. By mounting the compact hydraulic tower directly to the inner face of the column, the tough, cataphoresis-treated articulated arm curves around the pillar corner, ensuring a smooth, consistent 90° stroke without needing to carve out niches in stone masonry.
Because the system is hydraulic, it lacks internal mechanical gears that can strip or chip over time. The 0.25 HP electric motor drives a high-efficiency lobe pump to pressurize the hydraulic fluid pool, distributing pressure evenly across the internal jack. This delivers a highly reliable operation profile that is ideal for wind-affected, solid-clad gates.
Universal Handing Architecture: The Aproli 280 BATT operator is non-handed from the factory. It can be adapted for either left-hand (Lh) or right-hand (Rh) pillar applications simply by flipping the articulated arm assembly over on the splined square output drive shaft.
Physical Pressure Adjustments: Avoid digital programming errors; the operator features two physically color-coded mechanical pressure screws under the locked key-flap. Adjusting these screws mechanically sets the absolute torque pressure between 250 Nm and 400 Nm.
Coded Key Manual Override: Hidden behind a secure, locked aluminum access door, the manual override bypasses the hydraulic pressure loop instantly with an encrypted key, allowing effortless manual movement during utility grid outages.
Intensive Use Capability: Due to the heat-dissipating qualities of the internal oil reservoir, this hydraulic assembly handles high-frequency duty cycles without experiencing thermal fade.
2x APROLI 280 BATT Hydraulic Operators (281L): Featuring internal lobe pumps, bidirectional hydraulic locks, and complete anti-shearing articulated arm assemblies.
1x ELPRO 27 Control Panel (7047L): Advanced multi-function 230V master control unit housed in a weatherproof enclosure.
1x VIX 53/2 R Plug-In Radio Card (5311L): Premium 868.19 MHz rolling-code secure transceiver.
2x VIX 53/4 TR 4-Button Remote Transmitters (5313SL): Modern Skyline Grey multi-channel rolling-code pocket keyfobs.
1x Pair of Orbita 57 Safety Photocells (570L): Surface-mounted infrared safety beams to prevent gates closing on vehicles.
1x Birio A8 Tuned Radio Antenna (4605L): High-gain external aerial to optimize long-range remote trigger signals.

Pro Tip: When installing a double-locking hydraulic operator like the Aproli 280 BATT, the system relies entirely on solid structural limit stops. It is mandatory to fit physical structural ground stops for the gate leaves in both the fully open and fully closed positions.
The Professional Method: Because this model locks hydraulically in both directions, you must program the Elpro 27 control panel’s run-time clock to run for 4 to 5 seconds longer than the physical travel time of the gate (e.g., if the gate takes 23 seconds to reach the closed stop, set the motor timer to 27 seconds). This extra run time forces the hydraulic pump to press the gate leaf firmly against the ground stop, pressurizing the bidirectional block valves. This self-bleeds any micro-air bubbles out of the internal hydraulic jack and locks the gate frame in place.
