Bring maximum mains-driven torque, streamlined modern aesthetics, and elite digital protection to your boundary line with the Fadini DARDO 430 (K430.1L) Above-Ground Double Gate Automation Kit (VIX 53 Edition). Moving away from subterranean groundwork, this premium surface-mounted linear ram system mounts directly onto your gate posts to cleanly operate pairs of swing gates up to 2.5 meters wide per leaf (or up to a solid 400kg in weight).
The K430.1L kit features an ultra-tough 230V AC mechanical drive train comprising a steel rolled worm screw, a brass threaded traveling nut, and a heavy-duty Teflon crown gear. Managed by the advanced Elpro 43 Control Panel, the system utilizes an integrated external encoder for precise travel positioning and constant safety monitoring. If an obstruction is met, the system safely halts and reverses gate travel. Upgraded with the VIX 53 868MHz radio receiver, this package delivers uncopyable 128-bit digital security alongside built-in, adjustable physical stop plates directly under the ram casing—eliminating the need for awkward center-stop blocks on your driveway.
Integrated Physical Stops: Built-in, fully adjustable opening and closing travel stops are integrated cleanly inside the ram cover, removing the need for physical metal floor stops.
High-Torque 230V AC Engine: Heavy-duty mains-driven motor providing massive linear thrust, making it the preferred choice for solid-faced timber gates facing harsh incoming gales.
Upgraded VIX 53 Radio Matrix: Employs advanced 868.19 MHz rolling-code frequencies to eliminate the risk of digital vehicle profiling or signal duplication.
Advanced Security Lock Lid: Features a single, ergonomic manual key release system where the same customized key unlocks the protective ram lid and disengages the internal gear track during power outages.
Automating residential or estate gates without complex driveway excavation demands a reliable, surface-mounted solution. The Fadini DARDO 430 K430.1L system mounts cleanly behind the gate leaves, applying direct mechanical leverage over the structural frame. Because the internal gear components ride on high-grade radial bearings and self-lubricating bushings, the rams operate with a fluid cadence, ensuring your entranceways open rapidly and smoothly in approximately 16 to 20 seconds.
The Dardo 430 protects your gate structure from long-term mechanical stress. Managed by the microprocessors in the Elpro 43 Logic Box, the rams utilize electronic slowdown braking to steadily decelerate the gate leaves as they arrive at their destination limits. This gentle soft-stop functionality prevents structural twisting, eliminates annoying gate rattling, and keeps the mechanism locked rigid against strong winds when fully closed.
Weather-Hardened Chassis: Protected by a heavy-duty, pressure-cast aluminum cover shell treated with a premium polyester powder coating to fight off UV degradation and severe frost.
D.S.A. Safety Check Logic: The Elpro 43 logic controller forces a diagnostic self-test across your safety photobeams before authorizing a cycle, ensuring the perimeter is safe before movement begins.
Flexible Stroke Range: Out of the box, the ram provides a 320mm useful stroke with the internal stops fitted. (Removing the internal stops extends travel by an extra 60mm if you prefer using physical ground stops).
Uncopyable Access Security: The included VIX 53 radio receiver swaps its digital code signature seamlessly every time a keyfob button is pressed, protecting your home against electronic vehicle tailgating.

Pro Tip: Because the Dardo 430 runs on high-torque 230V mains power, ensuring correct installation dimensions (the A & B measurements from the hinge center to the rear bracket pin) is critical. Unequal geometry can cause irregular wear on the internal brass traveling nut.
The Professional Method: For gates wider than 2.0 meters, installing an electric lock is highly recommended to protect the internal mechanical drive from structural leverage forces if the gate is subjected to heavy wind pressure or vandalism. When setting up your internal mechanical stop plates inside the top ram cover, ensure they are adjusted so that the motor finishes its deceleration cycle just as the ram arm encounters the stop plate. This guarantees a firm, rattle-free closure without placing unnecessary strain on the rear post brackets.
