Not all commercial gates are created the same. There are
different choices available for both commercial and industrial applications.
Here is a closer look at some of the more popular choices that could be used to
front your business.
Cantilever Gates
This is a very popular choice as it is a more reliable rolling gate compared to a slide gate. This type of gate differs in that there is no ground track that
moves through the use of rollers. Its sideways motion is attributed to mounted
rollers that are located on the post. This model is beneficial because there
are no ground elements, such as snow or dirt, which would interfere with
opening and closing. In areas that are subject to inclement weather, the
cantilever gate remains a popular choice.
Swing Gates
Track Gates
This version is not a lot different from a cantilever gate.
It typically uses an overhead track, which is a benefit becomes it does away
with the need to counterbalance the entire system. This variety also has the
advantage of being able to meet the different height and width demands.
Security is also helped as these tracks are capable of being operated from a
specific security post.
Slide Gates
One of the most commonly used security gates, this variety
rolls from left to right or vice versa on ground wheels. It is generally in alignment with a
fence and will permit vehicles to enter when opened. The gate moves via wheels located
on the bottom side. They are often paired with an automated access systems for gates. They normally slide over a groove that is in the shape of a
V and are sometimes referred to as a V-Groove. The disadvantage is that
elements can obstruct the path of the wheels, which requires maintenance of
the area according to the conditions.
Lift Gates
These gates come in vertical and vertical pivot formats. The
design is somewhat different, although the premise is to raise the gate so that
vehicles can enter underneath of them. These are a great choice when looking to
save space as the gate does not need to extend outward or slide horizontally.
