Ramset RAM 5500 DC Slide Gate Operator Replacement Parts
Genuine Ramset replacement parts for the RAM 5500 DC battery-backed slide gate operator. Find your part number in the tables below and click it to order. Assembly breakdowns follow the main list, so you can buy a complete assembly or just the one component inside it that failed.
The RAM 5500 DC is a brushless DC chain-drive slide gate opener rated to 4,000 lbs and 45 feet of travel, running a 3.3 Nm 24 VDC 25 amp motor on two 12 volt batteries with AC charging. Continuous duty. If you know it as a Ramset DC RAM 5500 gate opener rather than an operator, it is the same unit.
This is the DC operator, not the AC one. Ramset builds AC and DC versions of the RAM 5500 and they are different machines. The DC unit runs a 24 volt brushless motor off a battery pack with a separate Logic board and DC Driver board. If your operator has a single 115VAC motor and one Intelligate or ETL board, you need the AC RAM 5500 parts page instead. The model and voltage are on the label inside the cover.
One BOM, three models. Ramset publishes a single bill of materials covering the DC RAM 100, DC RAM 1000 and DC RAM 5500. The table below is filtered to the RAM 5500 DC only.
Driver board part number. The factory BOM prints the DC driver board as 800-65-04. That number does not appear on the current Ramset price list and we do not stock it. The board Ramset supplies today is 800-65-05, ETL DC Driver, which is what is linked below. Send us a photo of your existing board if you want it confirmed before ordering.
Gear reducer superseded. Ramset discontinued 800-02-06 (Size 60, Ratio 30:1). The current part is 800-02-51, Size 60 Ratio 40:1 C-Face, linked at the top of the table.
The RAM 5500 DC takes two transformers and two bridge rectifiers, where the RAM 100 and RAM 1000 take one of each. Check the quantities before ordering.

Common Ramset RAM 5500 DC Faults and the Parts That Fix Them
Most calls we take about the DC operators come down to one of the following. Work through them in the order given — the cheap checks come first on purpose.
Gate will not run and the unit is chirping
A chirp means the DC Alert or Low Battery Alarm is active — the operator is on battery and the pack is going flat. The RAM 5500 DC carries two transformers and two rectifiers, so confirm both are live before condemning the batteries.
Parts: 800-70-00 · 800-60-07 · 800-60-35
Gate stalls on a heavy gate
The RAM 5500 DC is rated to 4,000 lbs, the heaviest of the DC slide range. If it is struggling, the gate is the first suspect: check the V-track and guide rollers, and confirm the gate rolls freely by hand with the clutch released. Only then look at the motor and reducer.
Parts: 800-04-05 · 800-02-51 · 800-75-21
Motor does not turn, or runs rough and stalls
The 25 amp brushless motor is position-controlled by Hall sensors wired back to the DC Driver board. Check the MOTOR 1 and MOTOR 2 LEDs on the driver. If they light but the motor does not turn cleanly, suspect the motor or its Hall harness before the board.
Parts: 800-04-05 · 800-65-05 · 800-65-01
Gate overshoots or stops short of the limit
Travel is set by adjustment nuts on the threaded limit shaft and stored by the SLOW LEARN routine. Reset the nuts, re-run SLOW LEARN, and check the #41 limit chain for stretch or a jumped link.
Parts: 800-75-73 · 800-20-51 · 800-20-01 · 800-52-21
Chain slack, jumping the sprocket, or the gate judders
Check both idler wheels — on a 4,000 lb gate the chain, sprocket and idlers wear noticeably faster than on the lighter machines. The RAM 5500 DC runs #40 chain.
Parts: 800-75-31 · 800-73-71 · 800-46-01 · 800-06-09 · 800-75-66
Foot pedal will not release, or the gate will not re-engage
The pedal acts on the clutch release assembly through the release fork. The fork, its return spring and the 4-pin disc inside the clutch are what wear.
Parts: 800-75-21 · 800-24-22 · 800-22-02 · 800-20-20
None of this is a substitute for a service call on a gate that is binding, dragging, or riding badly on its rollers or track. A mechanical problem in the gate will destroy whichever part you fit.
Other Ramset Gate Operator Parts
The Ramset DC slide operators share most of their mechanical parts — chassis, clutch, limit shaft, idler wheels and chain kit — with the AC versions of the same models. What differs is the motor, the boards, the transformer and the battery pack. If you are not certain which unit you have, check the label inside the cover.
