A cantilever gate is a type of sliding gate that operates without a ground track, making it ideal for areas where the ground is uneven, obstructed, or must remain clear. It is widely used in industrial, commercial, and high-security residential applications. --- ✅ Key Features of a Cantilever Gate: 1. Trackless Operation: The gate slides above the ground, supported by rollers mounted on posts. No bottom track means no obstruction or debris interference. 2. Smooth, Quiet Movement: Equipped with roller carriages (like the one you uploaded). Uses sealed bearings for smooth, noise-free motion. 3. Heavy-Duty Performance: Suitable for long and heavy gates. Commonly made of galvanized steel or aluminum. 4. Low Maintenance: No ground track means less wear, no cleaning required on the path. Bearings are sealed to protect from dust and moisture. --- 🔧 Components of a Cantilever Gate System: Cantilever Gate Frame: Extended beyond the opening to balance on rollers. Roller Carriages: Fixed to concrete foundation/post; gate slides over them. Cantilever Track (Tube/Rail): Welded to the bottom of the gate to ride on rollers. End Stopper: Prevents gate overrun. Guide Roller Bracket: Holds the gate upright and aligned. --- 📏 Installation Requirements: Gate Length: Total gate length must be 1.5 times the opening to allow for proper counterbalance. Concrete Foundation: Needed to anchor the roller carriages. Gate Posts: Must be strong enough to support the gate and rollers. --- 🏆 Advantages Over Bottom Track Gates: No interference from stones, snow, or dirt Suitable for uneven terrain Better for high-traffic or industrial zones Enhanced security and reliability
