Sliding Gates

A cantilever sliding gate is supported by a counterbalanced frame and slides without any ground track. This makes it ideal for gravel driveways, uneven surfaces, or any situation where a ground rail would be impractical or create a trip hazard. The gate is held in place by upright posts and rollers, with no rail crossing the driveway opening.

For a standard track-guided sliding gate, you need at least the full width of the opening as clear run-back space along your boundary. A 4-metre opening needs 4 metres of clear space alongside it. Cantilever gates need approximately 150% of the opening width. Telescopic sliding gates can reduce this requirement — contact us to discuss your site.

Yes. Sliding gates are very well-suited to electric automation. Rack-and-pinion motor systems are highly reliable and ideal for sliding gates. We can advise on the most appropriate motor for your gate size and frequency of use.

Sliding gates are often the best choice for sloped driveways where swing gates would scrape the ground when opening. Cantilever sliding gates are particularly well-suited to this situation as there is no ground track to contend with.
