 The Mighty Mule FM200 is a part of the latest releases from GTO inc. GTO inc. has finally tipped the scales and brought a gate opener into the price range of it automation sibling, the garage door opener. The Mighty Mule FM200 has been widely used for over a decade with a dedication to dependability and quality. They have taken that reputation and asked consumers to apply that same level of loyalty to this new opener. The Mighty Mule FM200 is highly geared towards solar usage.
The unique design of this opener allows it to be very effective for solar use and also easy installation. There is no battery that comes with the unit and there is a very good reason for that. The lack of a battery is because it runs off a deep cycle marine battery and with the size and weight of the battery needed, if we shipped it to you the price for shipping and the battery would well exceed what the actual cost of the battery should be. They are easy to find though, most chain stores carry them including most Wal-Marts. The deep cycle marine battery is great for solar usage, a huge number of cycles can be stored and used during night and cloudy days, leaving you running at all times.
Small residential gates made out of lightweight materials are becoming the norm over large wrought iron estate gates of the past. Mighty Mule has brought this gate opener to the market - allowing you to automate your lightweight residential gate without the pricey heavier duty gate openers needed for large older style gates.
Even though this is an easy to install DIY gate opener GateCrafters.com is still available for any installation or technical support the installer may need. Gate Crafters has years of experience with GTO inc. openers as well as many other brands and accessories and is readily available 7 days a week, 9am to 9pm eastern time just by calling our number: 1 800 537-4283.

As part of one of GateCrafters.com's constant quality checks and knowledge updates. I personally go to visit the factories in which the products we sell are made. I made 6 visits to the GTO Inc. US facility, most recently in Februrary 2009. My visits accumulated a considerable period of time visiting because they were not only to tour the facility and meet employees, but also for authorized factory training. During training I received a certificate (Click here to view) and a score of 100% on the Factory Certified training exam.
