The two numbers that decide this purchase
Before anything else, two figures matter more than the rest of the spec sheet combined. The first is your gate’s actual weight, not its size. The second is the rack already fitted to your gate, if there is one.
The Life ACER AC4R DL is rated to 400 kg. A gate that looks light can still weigh close to that once you count the frame, the infill and any cladding. Weigh it, or ask us how, before you order.
Choosing between the Life ACER AC4R DL and the AC4RM DL
Life sells this 400 kg motor in two versions. Both carry the identical weight rating, and the difference sits in the limit switches.
| Version | Limit switch type |
|---|---|
| AC4R DL | Electromechanical |
| AC4RM DL | Magnetic |
This listing is the standard DL version. If a quote, a manual, or an old control board refers to the M DL, tell us before ordering, since the two boards are not interchangeable spares.

The encoder is worth a mention on its own, because it does more than track speed. It tells the control board where the gate actually is at every point in its travel, which is how the motor slows smoothly at each end rather than stopping with a jolt, and how it senses an obstacle before it becomes a real impact.
Which Life ACER model suits your villa gate in Oman
Life builds this motor across a full range, and we stock every weight in it. The number in the model name is simply the gate weight in kilograms, which makes the range easy to read once you know that.
| Model | Max gate weight |
|---|---|
| AC4R DL | 400 kg |
| AC6R DL | 600 kg |
| AC8R DL | 800 kg |
| AC12R DL | 1200 kg |
| AC15RM DL | 1500 kg |
Life ACER range from 400kg to 1500kg, sized for villas and compounds
A 400 kg motor comfortably covers most single leaf villa gates in Muscat. If your gate serves a shared driveway, a compound entrance, or carries heavier steel infill, one of the larger models will suit it better. Send us your gate weight on WhatsApp and we will confirm the right size before you order, not after.

Installing an Italian sliding gate motor in Muscat and across Oman
Our engineer checks your gate weight and rack against this motor’s rating before fitting begins. That single check prevents almost every callout we get on a sliding gate motor after installation.
Once confirmed, we mount the motor to its base plate, fit the rack along the gate leaf, set the pinion mesh, wire the photocells and warning light, then program the encoder and the slowdown settings to suit your gate.
Sliding gate motor installation for villas and compounds across every governorate
We install this Italian sliding gate motor in Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah, Sur, Duqm and every other governorate, always from our own shop in Al Khuwair rather than a subcontractor. See the full LIFE range, our sliding gate motors from 400 kg to 3,500 kg, or our gate automation installation service.
Common questions about the Life ACER AC4R DL in Oman
Will the Life ACER AC4R DL move my gate?
Yes, if your gate leaf weighs 400 kg or less. Weigh it rather than estimate from its size, since a leaf can carry more weight than it appears to once you count the frame and any infill.
Will it work with the rack already on my gate?
Only if that rack is module 4, which is what this motor’s pinion is built for. Photograph the tooth profile and send it to us before ordering, so we can confirm it before you buy.
How many times a day can this sliding gate motor open?
Life does not publish a strict duty cycle figure for this model, but it suits normal villa use comfortably, a handful of openings a day rather than continuous cycling. For a busy shared entrance, ask us about a heavier model from the range instead.
