The spec sheet for the Apollo 7000 shows that it will handle slide gates up to 20′ and 400 lbs. Again, this is a conservative rating. The Apollo 7000 has been installed on much longer and heavier gates with superb results. The installation of the gate is the key here. It should roll level on good rollers and not bind. Keep in mind that the 7000 comes with 25′ of chain, so for gates longer than 21 or 22 feet you will need additional #40 chain and an extra connecting link.
