Description
A cranked bottom pivot with its own base cup, for hanging steel gates on the ground instead of on the post. The zinc-plated pivot is a 20mm round pin with a rounded nose, cranked at the top into a flat bar end that welds to the bottom of the gate's hanging stile. The nose turns in the cup of a solid 59mm square base block that you set in concrete or weld to a plate. The gate's weight goes into the ground, so the post only has to hold the top of the gate. Use with a top hinge. Rated for gates up to 400kg. The price is for one pivot and base, minimum order 6.
Why choose this pivot
Weight goes to the ground. The gate stands on the pivot, so heavy gates do not drag the post over and the top hinge only keeps the gate upright.
The crank clears the post. The offset puts the pivot point in line with the top hinge while the flat end welds neatly to the side of the stile.
Simple and solid. A solid steel pin turning in a solid steel cup, with nothing to wear out but the grease.
Rated for 400kg. Suits driveway, garden and pedestrian gates on the ground.
Where it is used
Steel garden, pedestrian and driveway gates, gates on weak or masonry posts, and replacing worn bottom hinges.

Fitting
Set the base block in a small concrete pad under the hanging corner of the gate, cup upwards and level, directly below where the top hinge will be. Let it cure. Grease the cup, stand the pivot in it, prop the gate upright and weld the flat top to the bottom of the hanging stile. Fit the top hinge, check the swing and paint the welds with zinc-rich primer.
Care
Keep the cup greased and clear of grit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one?
Yes, one pivot with its base block. The minimum order is 6.
Do I need a top hinge as well?
Yes. The pivot carries the weight; a top hinge keeps the gate upright.
Is it left or right handed?
Neither. Turn it to suit either hand of gate.
