What is a Cantilever Gate?
A cantilever gate is a type of sliding gate that operates without a traditional ground track. Unlike conventional gates that slide along a ground rail, the cantilever design is suspended above the opening, using a counterbalance system to ensure smooth, track-free operation. This makes it ideal for uneven terrain or areas with frequent debris like snow or leaves.
How Does a Cantilever Gate Work?
The gate uses a counterbalance system β an extended section that offsets the gateβs weight, allowing it to "hang" across the opening. Supported by internal rails, the gate moves smoothly without ground rollers. This design reduces friction, improves durability, and ensures low maintenance even in challenging weather conditions.

Applications
Finishing Process
β
Hot-Dip Galvanizing involves dipping the steel gate into a bath of molten zinc at around 450Β°C. The zinc forms a tightly bonded, rust-proof coating, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion.
β
Powder coating involves applying dry powder to the gate’s surface, then curing it under heat to form a strong, colorful, and weather-resistant finish. It’s durable, eco-friendly, and provides a smooth, premium look.
