Key Features
130° Opening Angle
The large opening angle is particularly advantageous on slanted driveways. More clearance for vehicles and better access to your property.
Soft Start / Soft Stop
Controlled soft run reduces speed shortly before the end positions. Less stress on the gate and mechanical components means longer lifespan.
Universal Installation
Can be used universally for DIN left and DIN right gates. Works for both 1-leaf and 2-leaf configurations with the same compact design.
Walking Door Function
Open just one gate wing for pedestrian or bicycle access. No need for an additional garden gate — fully utilize your driveway width.
Automatic Closing
The gate automatically closes after a set time once the photo eye is passed. Be sure that your gate is always locked behind you.
Emergency Release
Manual key release allows you to open the gate during power failures. Optional external unlocking with Bowden cable available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size gate is the Twist ML suitable for?
Each Twist ML operator supports gate leaves up to 2.5m wide and 300kg. For a 2-leaf gate, this means up to 5m total width with a maximum 600kg combined weight.
Can it be installed on a sloped driveway?
Yes! The Twist ML’s 130° opening angle is particularly advantageous on slanted driveways. It also supports gates with up to 10% inclination.
What is the difference between Twist M and Twist ML?
Both support the same gate weight (300kg) and width (2.5m). The key difference is the opening angle: Twist M opens to 120°, while Twist ML opens to 130° thanks to its longer arm.
Can you automate my existing manual swing gate?
In most cases, yes. We assess the gate condition, hinges, and post strength. If suitable, we add the Twist ML operators without replacing the gate. Confirmed during site survey.
How does the walking door function work?
The walking door function opens only one gate leaf for pedestrian or bicycle access. This way, you can reach your property without opening the full gate width.
