Eagle 2000 FR
Direct answer: The Eagle 2000 FR is a commercial sliding-gate operator rated for gates up to 45 feet and 1,000 pounds. It uses a 1/2 HP continuous-duty 115 VAC motor and a foot-release pedal for manual movement during a power outage.
Who it fits
This is a materially larger-duty operator than the Eagle 1000 FR. Eagle lists the 2000 FR for Class I, II, III, and IV applications and rates it for continuous duty. The separate Eagle 2000 FR 1HP model raises the weight rating to 2,000 pounds.

Eagle 1000 FR
Direct answer: The Eagle 1000 FR is a residential/light-commercial sliding-gate operator for gates up to 27 feet and 600 pounds. It uses a 1/2 HP continuous-duty 115 VAC motor and a foot-release mechanism so the gate can be pushed open during a power outage after the operator is disengaged.
What changes the answer
The published 27-foot and 600-pound limits are maximum ratings. The gate still needs to roll freely, be installed correctly, and use the required safety devices. This AC model is not listed as solar-ready by Eagle; the Eagle 1000 DC is a separate model.
