We are confirming exactly what this motor is before we treat any spec as final
This listing carries a genuine discrepancy worth being upfront about. BFT’s own documentation for the plain Ares BT A1500 describes a HAMAL control unit, electromechanical limit switches, and IP24 protection, and marks that exact model as being phased out. The specification commonly quoted for this listing instead matches MERAK, magnetic limit switches and IP44, which BFT documents as its Ares Ultra line.
| Plain Ares BT A1500 (BFT, phased out) | Ares Ultra BT A1500 | |
|---|---|---|
| Control unit | HAMAL | MERAK |
| Limit switch | Electromechanical | Magnetic |
| IP rating | IP24 | IP44 |
We check the board and rating plate on the actual unit before it leaves our shop, so what you receive is confirmed rather than assumed from a generic listing. If it turns out to be genuine Ultra stock, that is the better product of the two and we will say so plainly. If it is the phased out version, we will tell you that too.
Built for intensive use, on a 24V motor with real battery backup
Whichever exact board it carries, this is a 24V motor rated for intensive use, the highest duty cycle rating in BFT’s naming, with slowdown and D-Track impact detection. Fit a backup battery and it keeps working through a power cut, which is exactly what the 24V range is for.

Common questions about the BFT Ares BT A1500 in Oman
Is this the standard or the Ultra version?
The specifications commonly quoted for this listing match BFT’s Ares Ultra documentation more closely than the standard model, which BFT itself lists as being phased out. We confirm the exact board and rating on your unit before it leaves the shop and will tell you plainly which one it is.
Will it work during a power cut?
Yes, with a backup battery fitted. This is a 24V motor built for exactly that.
Does the gate slow down before stopping?
Yes, on both the standard and Ultra versions of this motor.
Will it work with the rack already on my gate?
Only if that rack is module 4. Send us a photograph of the teeth before ordering.
What is the price?
OMR 295.000 for the complete kit. The backup battery and installation are quoted separately.
