GTO R4KPOST Post Bracket for 4000XL and 4200XL Series Operators
The R4KPOST bracket is the post-side bracket used in select GTO and Linear Pro 4000 series swing gate operator mounting systems. It anchors the bracket geometry at the gate post and helps establish the pivot relationship between the actuator arm and the gate. If the post bracket is bent, loose, missing, or replaced with an incorrect bracket, the operator can bind, run out of travel, hit mechanical stops incorrectly, or overload the arm. R4KPOST is commonly tied to SW4000XL and SW4200XL service references, with related XLS applications depending on the bracket package and parts diagram. Some current product references state that this individual bracket is no longer available or has been replaced by the HBP4XL kit, so this row should be handled carefully if inventory or supplier status has changed. Match the original bracket style and installation layout before ordering.

Technician Note
The post bracket sets the operator leverage point. If a previous installer drilled new holes to force a different bracket to work, correct the measurements instead of simply copying the old hole location.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm whether the individual R4KPOST bracket is still available or now serviced through HBP4XL
- Match the operator series and bracket diagram
- Compare the existing bracket shape and hole pattern
- Check the post strength and mounting surface before installation
- Do not substitute this for the gate bracket, pivot bracket, or stop plate
Professional Advisory
If the gate post flexes or the bracket area is cracked, a new post bracket will not solve the problem. Structural gate and post issues should be corrected before operator service.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Some supplier references indicate R4KPOST may be no longer available and replaced by HBP4XL.
- This bracket is not automatically interchangeable with push-to-open or smaller 2000/3000 series brackets.
Product Questions and Answers
What does the R4KPOST bracket do?
It is the post-side mounting bracket that helps establish the operator arm pivot geometry on select 4000 series GTO/Linear swing gate operators.
Is R4KPOST the same as R4KGATE?
No. R4KPOST is the post bracket, while R4KGATE is the gate-side bracket. They mount in different locations and are not interchangeable.
Which models commonly use R4KPOST?
It is commonly associated with select SW4000XL, SW4000XLS, SW4200XL, and SW4200XLS style 4000 series systems when the parts diagram calls for it.
Why do some listings mention HBP4XL?
Some listings indicate the individual post bracket may be no longer available or serviced through the larger HBP4XL bracket kit. Check current supplier status.
Can I install this bracket using the old holes?
Only if the old holes match the correct manual dimensions. Incorrect bracket spacing can cause binding, poor travel, or operator overload.
