What Are Cantilever Electric Gates?

Unlike conventional sliding gates that run along a ground track, cantilever gates are suspended above the ground and supported by rollers fixed to a sturdy foundation post. The gate ‘floats’ across the driveway opening, making them ideal for properties where a track may be impractical.

Benefits of Cantilever Gates:

No Ground Track Required – Perfect for uneven, sloped, or gravel driveways.
Smooth & Quiet Operation – Advanced engineering ensures effortless movement.
Low Maintenance – No tracks to clean or keep clear of dirt and debris.
Durability – Built to withstand heavy use and challenging environments.

Stylish and Secure

Cantilever electric gates are available in a variety of designs, from modern aluminium panels to traditional steel frames with infill options. Powder-coated finishes ensure long-lasting protection, while automated operation provides security and convenience at the touch of a button.

Powered by Trusted Automation

At Pace Electric Gates, we use industry-leading automation systems to ensure your cantilever gate delivers reliable, safe, and quiet operation. Options include:

Remote and Keypad Access – Simple, secure entry control.
GSM Integration – Open and manage gates via smartphone.
Safety Sensors – Built-in protection against obstacles.

Why Choose Cantilever Electric Gates?

Homes with gravel or sloping driveways
