Class III covers industrial sites and loading docks closed to the general public; Class IV covers guarded restricted-access locations. Multi-family, hotel and retail entrances fall under Class II, which this operator is not listed for. On an industrial yard in Riverside or Corona, plan it as a commercial gate installation on a concrete pad, which the guide recommends at least two feet deep for heavier gates.
