Cantilever Sliding Gates from Procter Sliding Entrance Gates
Procter Sliding Gates design, manufacture and install high quality cantilever gates.
A cantilever sliding gate differs from a tracked gate, because it is suspended over the entrance and therefore there is no rail below it. The principle of cantilever sliding gate means an additional section of gate is used which, effectively, counterbalances the section of gate that spans the entrance.
Advantages of Cantilever Sliding Gates
The main advantages of cantilever sliding gates over tracked sliding gates are:
1>There is no need for a rail below it and therefore less groundwork is needed for foundations etc.
2>Less of a need to keep the area below the gate clear of debris (again as no rail)
3>The operation is quieter
4>They can be used on uneven ground - a real problem for tracked sliding gates.
The only real disadvantage of cantilever sliding gates compared to tracked sliding gates, is that they can require slightly more space for the additional section of gate to slide into. However, as this space will be against a fence line, the reality is that the extra space needed wouldn't normally be used for anything else anyway.
Pro-Glide Cantilever Sliding Gates
Our cantilever sliding gates, or trackless sliding gates as they are sometimes called, come in three main types: Pro-Glide Series 10, Pro-Glide Series 20, and Pro-Glide Series 30. As our Pro-Glide range is well known in the industry, you may also have seen it written as Pro-glide cantilever gates.
For a completely bespoke cantilever sliding gate made to your own design, our Pro-Glide Series 30 gates provide the ideal solution, as along with a standard range of technical specification common to all three Pro-Glide types, the Pro-Glide Series 30 come with a level of cantilever sliding gates design which ensures every gate is unique.
Automated and Manual Cantilever Sliding Gates
Although a cantilever sliding gate would normally be automated, manual cantilever gates also an option in some circumstances, and these would include relatively infrequent use an where lower levels of security applied.
