Hydraulic in-ground and above-ground swing operators, slide operators, barrier gates and security bollards — specified, installed, and repaired, hydraulics included.
FAAC builds the hydraulic operators that go on gates expected to run hard for decades — estate entrances, gated communities, commercial sites cycling all day. In-ground S800s, 400-series swing units, 844 slides and B680H barriers are all over Southern California.
We install, integrate and repair the whole FAAC range, including the hydraulics most companies won't touch. FAAC now owns Viking Access as well, so parts and expertise carry across both lines.
That's one layer of five. See gates for the full scope, or browse the other brands we work with.
The lines we work with most. Don't see yours? We can almost certainly still support it — ask.
Hydraulic hybrid in-ground operator for heavy leaves up to about 13 ft, hidden below the pivot.
Above-ground hydraulic and electromechanical swing operators for residential and light-commercial gates.
Rack-and-pinion slide operator for commercial and industrial vehicle gates.
Hybrid barrier operators rated for millions of cycles, 6.5–26.5 ft arms, 1.5–6 second opening.
Automatic and fixed security bollards for hostile-vehicle mitigation at storefronts and entrances.
Operator and foundation sized to the gate or barrier, hydraulic lines and safety devices set to spec, backup and manual release every time.
Wire the operator to access control, loop detectors and plate readers so authorised vehicles roll through without stopping.
Hydraulic pump and seal service, control-unit faults, encoder and limit issues, barrier-arm balancing.
Adopt an aging FAAC install, service the hydraulics, and bring the safety devices up to current code.
Straight diagnosis, a written quote before we start, and the common parts already on the truck. Here's how a repair call runs.
Low hydraulic fluid or a worn pump — the operator has lost the force to move the leaf at speed. Fluid and seal service, not a new operator.
A failed hydraulic lock valve or internal bypass; the leaf no longer holds position under load.
Spring tension out of adjustment after wear, or an encoder reading drifting.
Loop detector, safety-edge or photocell inputs failing and dropping the board into a protective stop.
Age and UV on an in-ground unit. A seal kit and fluid service brings it back — no need to dig out the whole operator.
A FAAC operator or bollard controls the vehicle. Tie it to access control, cameras and a solid network and the entrance becomes a logged, monitored checkpoint instead of just a moving barrier. That's the Complete Security Gate System.
Based in Santa Clarita, dispatched across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties.
Yes. Hydraulic pump service, seal kits, fluid changes and lock-valve replacement are core work for us — an in-ground S800 or a 400-series unit is repairable long after install.
Only for the better. The lines increasingly share parts and control logic, which makes service and parts sourcing easier, and we work on both.
Where the gate design can't show an operator, or the leaves are heavy and cycle constantly, the hydraulics and hidden mounting earn it. On a light residential gate, a surface operator is the better value.
Yes — a stuck barrier either traps vehicles or leaves the lane wide open, so it gets priority. We carry common control and photocell parts for same-day work.
New install, integration, or a system that's stopped working — tell us what's on the property and we'll price the work.
We protect people, property, and peace.
