Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Tracked sliding gates fail when gravel fills the channel or uneven ground causes derailments. Cantilever systems eliminate the track entirely, suspending the gate on rollers with counterbalance for smooth operation across problem surfaces.
Ground tracks clog with stones, leaves, and mud, causing gates to jam or derail mid-cycle
Surface bumps and gradients knock tracked gates off alignment, requiring constant adjustment
Incorrect counterweight calculation leads to gate sag, motor strain, or uneven sliding motion
Cantilever rollers suspend the gate 50-100 mm above ground, eliminating track blockages entirely
Engineered counterweight distributes gate mass across cantilever beam, reducing motor load by 40%
Who We Help
Cantilever systems suit scenarios where traditional ground tracks are impractical or impossible.
Residential properties where loose gravel or shingle surfaces make ground track installation impossible
Large properties needing heavy-duty gates spanning 5-8 metres across uneven or sloped entrances
Commercial yards where existing tracked gates derail frequently due to heavy vehicle traffic or debris
