FAAC Gate Repair in McKinney, TX

Common problems with FAAC hydraulic gate operators

• Oil on the arm or the ground

  Hydraulic swing operators move the gate with oil under pressure. A leaking seal lets that pressure drop, and the gate slows, drifts or stops short.

• Slow or weak in cold weather

  Hydraulic oil thickens in the cold. A gate that is sluggish on a cold morning but fine by afternoon is a common pattern, and worn seals make it worse.

• Gate pushes back or will not hold

  Pressure and clutch settings control how hard the operator pushes. Set too low, the gate stops in wind. Set too high, it is unsafe to anyone in its path.

• Motor runs, gate does not move

  If you hear the pump but nothing moves, the problem may be low oil, a release valve left open or an internal fault in the operator.
