Sliding Gate - The Best Alternative to Swing Gate
Sliding gates are considered to the best alternative to swing gates and normally used in areas where swing gates are not applicable. For example, there is limited room for swing gates to open in; the entrance way turns sharply to obstruct the turning vehicle or the gates need to be mounted on a steep upward slope which will influence the normal operation of swing gate.
Two main styles - tracked sliding gate and cantilever sliding gate can be supplied as shown in the following pictures.
Tracked sliding gate
Cantilever sliding gate
- The tracked sliding gate features metal embedded tracking spanning the entrance to guide the runners at the bottom of the gate. As a straightforward and economical sliding gate, it needs to be kept clear and smooth to avoid debris affecting the regular operation.
- The cantilever sliding gates features suspended gate over the entrance without bottom tracking. Compared with tracked sliding gate, this one effectively reduces the needs of cleaning debris and is quieter during operation. Normally, they are mounted behind a wall or hedge perimeter.
