Cantilever Gates

Also known as sliding gates, these protective barriers do not touch the ground and are instead supported by rollers. The rollers are in turn rigged to large posts set to one side of the gate entrance. Cantilever gates have tail sections — approximately one half the length of the gate opening — used for support when in the closed position. Adequate storage space is likewise important, needing to be equal to the sum of the opening and tail sections. Cantilever gates are compatible with all types of fencing, provided there’s a frame made of steel or aluminum. Cantilever gates may also be built to look like Estate swing gates or covered with vinyl, wood, etc. Check out America’s Gate Company’s in-depth guide on how to select your cantilever gate.

Single swing

Swing gates are constructed with average widths of 3-20′, though even smaller varieties can reach over 100′ in length. For swing gates situated around swimming pools, self-closing and latching hardware can be incorporated.

Rolling Gates

Rolling gates operate upon a wheel and do not require a “tail” in the manner of cantilever gates. For this reason, rolling gates are ideal for situations with limited space. Rolling gates with a V-Groove track and wheel assembly might also incorporate automated gate access control.

Overhead Track Gates

Overhead track gates utilize I-beams or bar truss systems that extend over the gate opening and run the length on either side. The I-beam or bar truss is typically placed within the neighborhood of 14’ above the opening. Trollies are attached to and above the gate and run along the I-beam or track. The number of trollies needed depends on both the length and weight of the gate. Access control may be used to safely open and close the gate. Overhead track gates are extremely reliable, fully supported as they travel through the opening from the track.

Vertical Lift Gates

Vertical lift gates are practical for situations with no storage on either side of the gate’s opening. It also works for scenarios where swing gates are not feasible. Vertical lift gates are common in industrial applications due to each end featuring columns tall enough to clear the gate from semi-truck traffic. Utilizing counterbalance weights or springs like those found in garage doors, these gates can lift up and down via an electric gate operator.

Vertical Pivot Gates

Vertical pilot gates are a common choice for sites that don’t have storage space for slide gates. They’re also popular in areas with considerable snowfall, so these are gates tend to withstand the blistering North Dakota winters. A single vertical pivot gate panel fills the opening; on one end at the panel’s base, the gate panel has a pivot point with an axle assembly mounted to the gate operator. On this same end, a set of springs is attached at the top of the panel, running from the gate panel into the rear of the gate operator. Adjoining the attachment point of the springs is the gate operator’s mechanical arm. When in the full open position, the panel rotates 90 degrees.

Our swing gates come with a variety of 180-degree hinges. All self-closing and even capable of lifting the gate as it opens. Options on latches include keyed, self-latching, self-locking, push button, magnetic, etc.
