A single swing gate opener is one arm, a control box and a remote for one hinged gate, the most common kit for a driveway, farm or ranch gate. The arm bolts between the gate post and the gate and pulls the gate open, or pushes it with a different bracket when the gate opens outward. Ratings are for the one leaf, and a long gate usually carries far less weight than the headline figure.
