Our contacts with dealers and installers gives us the knowledge to cover every practical installation requirement.

Internal Roller Cantilever Gate frames shall consist of steel or aluminum tubes and conform to the specifications for the same material used in the fence line. Cantilever Gate System shall facilitate installation of a pipe-frame internal roller-type cantilever sliding gate system as per ASTM F 1184, Class 2.

E/Z Slide is designed with NO exposed roller wheel for added safety. Eliminates the chance of fingers or hands being crushed if children hang on your slide gate. Also eliminates dangerous pinch points that are common with cantilever rollers. E/Z Slide adapts easily to the conventional pipe frame cantilever slide gate, eliminating the need to purchase an entire new gate.

Whenever you hear someone talking about the performance of gate, the conversation usually revolves around a discussion of how much a gate weighs, whether or not it is a cantilever design or how many cycles per hour it is going to operate. These kinds of conversations, while entertaining, do not contribute a great deal to the analysis of gate performance.

Lateral chord displacement is nothing more than the distance a gate will vary from its true path of travel to one side or the other under conditions which may apply a side-ward force. With this condition, we are almost always talking about the load or wind deflection. In engineering terms, deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load.
