CANTILEVER GATES

A cantilever gate system is one where a sliding gate is lofted over the traffic area by being counter balanced at its mounting point. There are a number of benefits over the traditional track style with the obvious one being "no track" which equals “no trip hazards”. The trade off is the requirement for greater runoff area as a cantilever requires approximately 30% greater runoff room.

You have two choices of system being the "track system" and the "rail system" which tends to be a little more rigid over large openings. The advantage of a sliding cantilever gate is that you do not need to install track work such as uneven surfaces, entrances with heavy foot traffic etc. The smooth nature of cantilever gates makes them ideal with automation, very reliable and low maintenance.
