At Barriers Direct, we sell Cantilever Sliding Gates that are suitable in a variety of environments.
Types of Cantilever Sliding Gates
We supply both manual cantilever sliding gates and automatic cantilever gate systems, depending on site access requirements and usage frequency.
- Manual cantilever gates are a cost-effective option for low-traffic entrances, offering simple operation and reduced maintenance requirements.
- Automatic cantilever gates are designed for high-traffic commercial environments where frequent vehicle access requires motorised operation and integrated safety systems.
When to Choose a Cantilever Gate System
Cantilever gates are typically selected when:
- There is insufficient space for swing gates.
- The ground is uneven or sloped behind the opening.
- A ground track would be unsuitable due to debris or vehicle traffic.
- A clean, rail-free entrance is required for operational efficiency.
- Commercial yards and depots.
- Logistics and distribution centres.
- Industrial estates.
- Secure car parks.
- Private driveways requiring wide access openings.
Cantilever Gates for Driveways and Commercial Entrances
Although most commonly used in commercial environments, cantilever sliding gates are also increasingly specified for large residential driveways where security and aesthetics are both important considerations. Their sliding mechanism makes them especially useful where there is limited swing clearance or where the driveway opens onto an incline.
Sizes, Materials and Performance
All gates in this range are manufactured in aluminium, offering a strong yet lightweight structure that reduces strain on the running gear and improves long-term reliability.
Available specifications include:
- Gate widths up to 10.0m.
- Heights typically 2.4m, 2.7m and 3.0m.
- Manual or fully automated systems.
- Heavy-duty commercial-grade construction.
Aluminium construction also ensures corrosion resistance without the need for regular repainting, making these gates suitable for year-round outdoor exposure.
