Advantages of Installing a Cantilever Sliding Gate

PCM Electrical Engineering offers sliding gate automation solutions to control gate movements. A cantilever sliding gate is a type of sliding gate that is operated with tension applied to the slide while weight is balanced against the gate. It can have one or two leaves and may be made of wood, steel or anodized aluminum.

Cantilever Sliding gates are commonly used in many areas like schools, factories, offices, highway tunnels and airports. Airport use of cantilever sliding gates when metal detectors were first required at entrance points. The traditional swing gates were easily circumvented by evaders by grinding away a part of the metal detector; this was impossible with a sliding gate because it could be operated from a distance with an electric motor.

Reasons Cantilever Sliding Gate Provides More Safety

1. Durable than Swing Gates

The Cantilever Sliding gates offered by us are manufactured using strong and sturdy materials such as aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized steel. It enables them to endure harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, and wind. That also makes them more durable than most swing gates or bollards. 

2. More Effective in Controlling the Flow of Traffic

Cantilever Sliding gates are capable of controlling traffic flow. They are used in cities and airports, where people do not want to move within a specific boundary but do not want vehicles to enter or exit within a distinct edge. Thus, we can ensure that there is no unnecessary movement of vehicles by using cantilever gate automation solutions. Once installed and operated as per the requirement, it will control traffic flow with perfect accuracy.

What Does Telescopic Gate Do?

The telescopic gate is a sliding gate operated through a single-tensioned chain and a single counterweight. This type of gate may be made from galvanized steel or aluminum. It has no leaves, but it only has one chain to tighten up the sliding section of the gate and another chain to loosen it.

Why Telescopic Gate Provides More Safety

1. Easy to Install and Maintain

Telescopic gates are elementary to install and maintain. They do not need a lot of maintenance, unlike other sliding gates that require extreme care and proper maintenance. 

2. Provide Effective Barrier Against Vehicles hit by Telescopic Gate

Telescopic gates are also ideal for areas where vehicles often hit the gate and move through. It is because it does not have any leaves and it doesn’t take much time to open - more than enough time for a car to pass through.

3. Simple Design, Easy to Operate the Gate Automation Solution

The design of the telescopic gate is simple, so you don’t need lots of money to invest in training team members in its operation. It is more accessible than other kinds of sliding gates.
