BR22 Cantilever Sliding Gate

A cantilever gate operates without a ground track. It’s supported by rollers mounted on posts, so the gate is suspended above the driveway. In contrast, a standard sliding gate moves along a track installed on the ground. Cantilever gates are easier to maintain since there’s no track to collect debris like leaves or gravel, but they usually require a stronger gate opener and have a higher installation cost.

For a 4m cantilever gate, aluminum is a top choice due to its lightweight properties and resistance to corrosion. This makes installation easier and puts less stress on the guide posts. Galvanized steel is also a solid option, especially for industrial use, as it offers greater strength while maintaining durability against the elements. Features like a powder-coated finish add extra protection and help maintain the gate's appearance over time.

A cantilever gate offers several key advantages: easy installation without the need for a full-width concrete footing, reliable operation on sloped or uneven ground thanks to its suspended design, a clean look with no track visible on the ground, minimal maintenance since debris can't obstruct the sliding mechanism, and compatibility with all types of gate openers for convenient use.

Yes, you can motorize a 4m cantilever gate using a suitable rack-and-pinion gate opener. Cantilever systems require a more powerful motor than track-mounted gates, as the opener must compensate for the lack of a ground track. At Cloture Discount, our gate opener kits are rated for gates up to 400 kg and can be easily installed on the reinforced crossbar of our aluminum cantilever gates.

A cantilever gate is a great option for sloped ground because it operates suspended above the driveway, with no track touching the ground. This design avoids threshold issues and allows the gate to open and close smoothly, regardless of the slope. Our models can be installed on side slopes as well as uphill or downhill grades, making them a practical solution for challenging landscapes.
