Cantilever gates
Cantilever gates offer all the space-saving benefits of a sliding gate without the need for a ground track, making them ideal for uneven surfaces, debris-prone entrances and sites where reliable, low-maintenance operation is essential.
Residential cantilever gate is a type of sliding gate that opens without running on a track across the ground. Instead, the gate is supported by a set of roller carriages fixed to a concrete foundation beside the entrance. The gate itself includes an extended counterbalance section, allowing it to slide across the opening while remaining supported from the side. Nylon rollers help support the gate upright, attached to either posts or a brick column. Please note that if you would want a solid infill cantilever, the brick support would need to be concrete filled and not hollow cavity. We would quote for establishing support posts instead in these cases.
Installation requires sufficient space alongside the driveway for the gate to retract fully, including its counterbalance section. A solid, correctly sized concrete foundation is also needed to support the roller carriages and the weight of the gate. The ground must be suitable for the foundation, and the gate needs to be accurately aligned to ensure smooth operation.

Commercial cantilever gates are built for frequent use and wider entrances, these systems typically feature robust frames, heavy-duty support hardware and automation suited to demanding environments. The system is often designed around a substantial amount more users, requiring access control requirements to be more involved to suit complex needs.
