Cantilever gates are sliding commonly used for driveways, industrial entrances, and high-security areas. They offer several advantages over traditional swing gates or track-based sliding gates. Understanding the technology behind the cantilever gate can help you decide if they are the right choice for you.

First and foremost, Cantilever gates are designed to be supported and operated by rollers or wheels attached to one end, allowing them to slide horizontally along a counterbalance frame. Because of this practical design, you no longer need any tracks embedded in the ground, usually affected by weather or debris.

Cantilever gates are usually made of steel or aluminum, and because of that, they are incredibly sturdy and durable. The frame is often filled with vertical pickets or panels, making them more secure and beautiful.

At the same time, Cantilever gates are operated by a motorized drive system, which can be controlled manually with a keypad or remote control or integrated into an automated access control system.

Perhaps one of the main advantages of cantilever gates is their space-saving design. Since they slide horizontally without needing a track on the ground, they are ideal for properties with rough terrain or limited space, where a swing gate would be less practical.
