Description
Fadini K740.4L COMBI 740 Underground Hydraulic Gate Kit | 175° with Braking
Overview
Automating wide gate leaves presents a distinct engineering challenge: the sheer momentum generated at the end of a 4-meter swing can easily stress hinges and wear out standard motors. The Fadini COMBI 740 K740.4L system directly solves this by integrating adjustable internal flow-braking into its heavy-duty hydraulic jack cylinder. As the gate reaches the tail end of its travel, the hydraulic fluid is throttled, smoothly deceleration-pacing the leaf to a whisper-quiet close.
Because everything is self-lubricating and tightly sealed in an IP67 enclosure, the motor pump operates seamlessly entirely out of sight under your driveway. Backed by the industry-standard Elpro 27 Control Board, this kit gives installers complete micro-processor command over delay times, safety photocopy margins, and precise closing speeds, making it the premier choice for busy multi-user access ways or high-end private estates.

Trade Installation & Weight-to-Width Allocation Tip
Pro Tip: Because the K740.4L is engineered to manage long gate spans, installers must strictly adhere to the Fadini weight-to-width ratio chart to protect internal hydraulic valves from structural overload.
The Structural Law: While the maximum raw lifting limit of the Combi 740 jack is 700kg, this weight capacity only applies to narrow gate leaves up to 1.0 meter wide. As the leverage length increases, the allowable weight decreases to counter momentum. For a full-width 4.0-meter gate leaf, your maximum safe weight limit is 250kg per leaf. If your 4m gate exceeds this threshold due to heavy structural cladding or solid wood boarding, you must transition up to the industrial Fadini COMBI 787 series. Always install a physical center gate stop for 4m leaves to give the double hydraulic locks a rigid surface to press against in high crosswinds!
