{"product_id":"liftmaster-powerhinge","title":"LiftMaster POWERHINGE Heavy-Duty Steel Gate Hinges — Pair, Up to 3,000 lb","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe LiftMaster POWERHINGE is an all-steel, weld-on hinge pair for a properly designed steel swing gate and steel support post. LiftMaster lists a capacity of up to 3,000 pounds per pair, making this the heavy-duty steel option in the POWERHINGE family. Choose it by the gate structure, mounting surfaces and hinge alignment—not by weight alone. The pair provides the gate’s pivoting support; it does not include an operator, repair a weak post or replace the safety devices required for an automated gate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel or selection point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility requirement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel gate and steel post\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable mounting construction must be confirmed by the gate fabricator or installer.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePOWERHINGE² and POWERHINGE³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent material versions with different published capacities; do not apply this listing’s steel-pair rating to them.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExisting swing-gate repair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCheck the hinge position, gate frame, post and available mounting surfaces before replacing another hinge style.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomated swing gates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHinge selection is mechanical; operator selection and entrapment protection require separate checks.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Strong Hinge Pair Needs a Sound Gate Structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3,000-pound figure is the published capacity of the pair, not a rating for each individual hinge or a guarantee for the entire gate installation. Gate width, frame condition, post support and the mounting arrangement still affect selection. A qualified installer should evaluate the complete structure before treating a hinge upgrade as the solution to a sagging or difficult-to-move gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorrect alignment matters as much as the hardware choice. LiftMaster’s installation instructions require the hinge shafts to share proper alignment and warn that incorrect positioning can cause poor operation and shaft failure. The gate should move correctly through its intended travel before an operator is connected or returned to service. Increasing operator force is not a repair for a binding hinge or distorted frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications and Product Identification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePOWERHINGE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachined-block swing-gate hinges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-steel version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublished capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 3,000 lb per pair in an appropriate installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat mounting surfaces; weld-on installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo hinges \/ one pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore Ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm the gate’s weight, width, construction and intended swing path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave the post, foundation, frame and existing weld areas inspected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare the mounting geometry with the current POWERHINGE installation drawing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlan how the gate will be supported safely while old hinges are removed and new ones fitted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents and Separate Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listing is for one pair of POWERHINGE hinges.
