Cantilever Sliding Gate
A cantilever sliding gate offers secure access control with a space-saving design, ideal for large properties, requiring minimal ground support for smooth, efficient operation.
Cantilever Sliding Gate
Cantilever Sliding Gates are also known as hanging gates or trackless gates as they use concealed mechanical bearings instead of wheels for their operation, and the entire gate is balanced on two hangers, eliminating the need for a track. They operate on concealed mechanical bearings instead of wheels, which reduces the maintenance cost. The self-supporting cantilever gate is a collaboration of efficient manufacturing, design, and European technology.
- The advantage of using cantilever sliding gates is that they have no ground track or foundation in the roadway, making them ideal for road surfaces that are uneven or sloping and vehicles that do not experience any bumps. The gate is not prone to getting blocked by leaves or dirt, Hence they reduced maintenance.
- Smooth, quiet operation due to no supports at the bottom of the gate.
- Low maintenance due to self-lubricated wheels.
- Capacity of Dock leveller ranges from 6 tonne to 15 tonne.
- Dock buffer pair is included to protect the leveller from the hit of truck while backing
FAQ About Cantilever Sliding Gate
The first step is to think about what kind of gate design and gate material you want. The advantage of using our hardware is that you can use practically any gate design with any gate material. Then, let us know the size of the opening and the approximate weight of just the opening part of the gate. We will then come back to you with the suggested model, overall length of gate including counterbalance and size of the foundation required. Armed with that information you can then complete your gate design.
There are several advantages. First, the weight of the gate is transferred to the ground, hence it can bear a lot more load than a top track. Besides there are less chances of the track bending/buckling. You can use any gate material versus mainly steel/aluminum for the top track system. You can design any gate shape versus only a straight gate for the top track. Performs better in the snow. Looks much better versus the industrial look of the top track system.
Yes, you can use practically any gate material if you can mechanically attach the gate to the bottom track. In case of a steel or aluminum gate you can just weld the gate to the track, or even use the track itself as the bottom frame of the gate.
You are not missing anything! The system is actually remarkably simple. Just a track, 2 wheels and some related accessories. Not just that, it is also very aesthetically appealing with minimal visible hardware.
The product works better in the snow than most traditional sliding gate hardware systems. - The wheels are always covered with the track, hence you never have to clean the wheels.- There are no exposed rollers unlike some other cantilever systems- The path of the gate travel has to be cleared of snow, which would have to be done for any gate- You may have to adjust the foundation depth based on the frost line in your local area.
