Slide Gate Operators do not require movement along which arc?

• A. 90-degree arc
• B. 180-degree arc
• C. 270-degree arc
• D. 360-degree arc

Answer: (A)

Slide gate operators move the gate in a straight line along a track and do not rotate around a hinge. The arc descriptions refer to the curved path a swing gate would travel as it swings open or closed. Because a sliding gate doesn’t travel along a curved path, any arc is not required. Among the options, the 90-degree arc best communicates that curved motion isn’t part of a sliding gate’s operation, whereas the larger arcs imply swing-gate rotation that sliding systems don’t use.
