4. TANDEM GATE DETAILS
The Tandem gate is typically used in high traffic situations where some control of incoming and/or
outgoing traffic is required. The outside gate (slave) is usually a less expensive fast moving
barrier gate (or light slide gate) which protects the more expensive and less mobile Slide or Swing
inside gate (master). The outside gate does this by stopping the vehicle until the inside gate is
completely open. The Tandem configuration can consist of any LiftMaster model for Master, and
a model SL 1000-B3 (slide gate), or BG 3000-B3 (barrier gate) for Slave. NOTE: The SW 2000-
B3 (swing gate) may not be used for Slave.
