Apollo Gate Opener - 3500ETL Single Gate Opener w/ Free DIY Kit (3500ETL)
The 3500ETL is an Apollo gate opener that offers a articulating arm swing gate operators for large gates or gates mounted on columns. They are easily install using a GateCrafters.com exclusive:
GateCrafters.com exclusively provides the ONLY Apollo 3500 w/ a DIY kit. With the standard unit found with all other companies, you must provide a steel post and then weld a plate on top for mounting the motor. We provide a 40" long 4"x4" steel post, painted Rust-Oleum Black (for easy touch up matching) with the mounting plate pre-mounted on top - Saving you time, money and for many the trouble of finding a welder. The GateCrafters.com Do-It-Yourself kit makes this a completely bolt-on simple installation. And with all this we are still the lowest price on the web - you can't find a better value in gate openers than GateCrafters.com.
The operator has a new arm design that eliminates major pinch points. This operator is perfect for heavy duty commercial or residential continuous duty operation. The gate opener has a low profile and is post mounted as seen above in the Gate Crafters exclusive. The 3500 is ETL approved and utilizes the advanced 800 series control board.
The Apollo 3500ETL Single Gate Opener is a low voltage system, eliminating the need to run 110 AC to your gate. Simply run 16-gauge low voltage to a household outlet within 1000' of the operator or use a Gate Crafters solar panel. With Apollo's generous sized NEMA 3R control box you can house a larger battery than most gate operating systems. A larger battery means more cycles during a time of power outages or low sunlight (if solar is being used). A fully charged deep cycle marine battery will provide up to 300 cycles or an average of 30 days usage on a basic system before requiring a recharge (Battery is not included). Each cycle is a full open and close and takes approximately 15 seconds each direction.

It has a built in solar regulator, LCD display for programming and diagnostics, digital controls over force, speed, delay, etc, built in surge suppression, Built in clock and timer, and built in multimeter for knowing battery voltage. |

"Apollo has been a quality name for years in the gate opener industry, plus the choice of many professional installers. Coming from Texas, the people at Apollo know and understand the convenience a gate opener can add to a ranch or home.
The 3500ETL Single Gate Opener is designed for home, ranch, or light commercial use. It is economically priced and built to last. Most home and ranch gates range between 100 and 300 pounds, which is well within the capabilities of the 3500 ETL Single Opener which can handle gates up to 20 feet and 1000 pounds. Apollo has really put some time and thought into making this arm durable and ready to take an environmental pounding. The arm is rust proof and self-lubricating and is teamed up with a sturdy NEMA 3R box for the control board and battery. NEMA 3R boxes are well known for being the ultimate in weather protection. They stand up to most anything nature can dish out; winds, sands, ice and snow are no match for a NEMA 3R box.
GateCrafters.com is dedicated to getting the right gate opener for your gate. As more gate openers are being made economically feasible and easy to maintain, the selection is going to grow ever wider. That's where GateCrafters.com comes in. We have extensive amounts of educational material on our website to help you become an informed consumer. We also have our factory-trained representatives standing by to answer all your gate and gate opener questions. The combination of our customers passion for home improvement and GateCrafters.com's wealth of knowledge is a perfect match and cannot be duplicated."
