I have had one of the might mule larger units on a 16' iron gate for years.
I think it was around $6-800 dollars, still a lot cheaper than the big fancy openers.
Was very careful when I built and hung the gate to get it very level and square with a very solid gatepost, so it opens and closes effortlessly.
The only problem has been the control board from a lightning strike , and i think a lightning strike will probably get most any gate opener.
While we are on the subject of gate openers, Here in Houston they have been showing security camera video on the news of a guy that has been cutting off gate openers with a sawsall and stealing them, they have him pegged for dozens of heists. Don"t think they have caught him yet
