I've had my Apollo gate opener on my entry gate for 8 years now. My entry gate is a 16 ft steel pipe framed gate with hog panel welded on it at the bottom and then two horizontal pipes above the panel. The pipe frame and cross pipe is two inch. It is a heavy gate.
Here's a YouTube video. Mine has linkage welded onto the gate that gives it more leverage. I can't explain it other than it's like an elbow or a scissor link.
