Sliding gates are a good way of creating more useable space for parking from the area which would have been required for swing gate opening. Sliding gates are also a good solution where the driveway slopes up and away from the gates, where the slope would have prevented swing gates from opening. Tracked or CantileverAny of our steel gate designs can be supplied as a Tracked or Cantilever sliding gate, with or without automation.

Our City wrought iron style steel gate designs can also be installed as a Cantilever sliding gate. A Cantilever sliding gate does not require a track across the opening and so the driveway surface is not usually disturbed in installation. Cantilever sliding gates are also generally quieter and smoother in operation. A cantilever gate is supported on precision made carriages fixed to a substantial concrete foundation to counter balance the gate overhang. The total length of the gate is 50% larger than the opening so that the gate is cantilevered when closed. The side space required for a cantilever gate is therefore greater than that required for a tracked gate. |
