Heavy-duty industrial gates spanning very large entrances
Available in either manual or automatic versions, our cantilever sliding gates are designed to provide robust and reliable security at busy vehicle entrances. Their unique design means that a ground track is not required which, can be advantageous where the driveway entrance slopes away or where consistent heavy traffic movement is present.
FBS Cantilever sliding gates are constructed from high strength steel and may have a pressed steel channel at the bottom. The channel or beam is set on bearing rollers which are engineered to a high standard, and which, in turn are bolted down to a large concrete pad removing the need to carry out any excavation works. The gates can be manufactured to customer requirements and are available in any size up to 15m by 3.5m in height.
The main design difference from a tracked system is that the cantilever system has a special section bottom rail. This incorporates two sets of enclosed roller wheels set apart at a pre-determined distance to a large concrete foundation base.
Regular maintenance is essential for preventing breakdowns, extending the life of your cantilever sliding gate, and maintaining its security and safety. Proper maintenance helps to keep your cantilever sliding gate operating smoothly and efficiently. This means it will open and close quickly and quietly, without any hesitation or straining on the motor or gate itself.
Regular lubrication of the bearings, rollers, and hinges prevents friction and wear and tear, ensuring that the gate glides effortlessly. Within our after sales care we provide comprehensive service agreements to ensure all our customers have access to routine servicing and maintenance work. With emergency 24/7 repairs also available to repair cantilever sliding gates, when the unexpected occurs.
