The cantilevered sliding gate design is based on the principles of counter balancing. This proven Australian design is engineered to our unique and exacting specifications, and with a strong emphasis on safety.
Our cantilever sliding gate systems comprise of several critical mechanical modules. These modules consist of the gate main support tower, the gate leaf, the gate back rail, and the end post. When bolted together, the main tower and back rail form the main support and rolling platform for the gate leaf. The gate leaf is then attached to this platform with two back-check plate roller sets. The roller sets, when bolted on, lock the sliding gate leaf within the confines of the gate back rail.
The Cantilever Sliding Gate System is then bolted to a concrete footing that has been specifically engineered to provide adequate weight to counterbalance the gate system. This combination of gate design, and the concrete footing allows the gate to roll out over the relevant road opening, without tipping or sagging, and basically traveling in free air.
Road widths of up to 10-metres (for a single gate) are standard offerings within our Premium Cantilever Sliding gate range. The AIGS cantilever sliding gate systems eliminates the need for clumsy trolley wheels, roadway tracks, rails, or overhead supports.
