FAQ
What happens if someone gets in the way or pushes?
MAGNUS is equipped with a push-and-go function and smart obstacle detection. If you gently push the gate open, the motorized hinge automatically takes over. If someone is in the passageway or actively pushes in the opposite direction while the gate is moving, the system detects it immediately. The gate stops and returns, and only moves further once the passage is completely free and safe.

Magnus for the gate manufacturer
Magnus is the first fully integrated, motorized hinge that drops right into existing gate production lines thanks to simple profile prep. The smart hole layout supports modular gate prep, perfect for hydraulic closer/hinge combos like the Mammoth180-HD or Magnus itself.
In the standard 'low-energy' setup, Magnus doesn’t need any extra safety sensors. That makes Magnus not just safe and easy to install, but also a budget-smart solution.
And it plays nice with your lighting and access control systems. No extra gear needed. Magnus connects to and powers up to three inputs and three outputs with ease.
