Description
The running gear for a light cantilever gate, rated for gates up to 5m and 500kg. The kit has two 8-wheel carriages, a support wheel, an end stop and two 3m lengths of light cantilever track, all sized to work together. A cantilever gate has no track across the opening: it hangs from a steel track along its bottom rail and rolls on two carriages fixed to a foundation beside the opening, so the entrance stays clear and gravel, leaves or snow cannot jam it. The price is for the complete kit.

Choosing the right parts
The parts come in three grades. Pick the grade for your gate's length and weight, then use carriages, support wheel, end stop and track from the same grade: they are sized to fit each other.
| Grade | Gates up to | Carriage | Support wheel | End stop | Track |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 5m / 500kg | Light carriage | Light support wheel | Light end stop | Light 3m track |
| Medium | 8m / 600kg | Call us | Medium support wheel | Medium end stop | Medium 3m track |
| Heavy | 12m / 1000kg | Heavy carriage | Call us | Heavy end stop | Heavy 3m track |
Fitting and care
Weld the two track lengths along the gate's bottom rail, slot facing down, and grind the joint smooth inside. Cast a level concrete foundation beside the opening, long enough for both carriages, and fix the carriages level and in line. Slide the gate's track onto them, fit the support wheel in the leading end of the track and the end stop at the closing post, then add a top guide bracket so the gate cannot lean. Keep the inside of the track clear and check the fixings once a year.
Frequently asked questions
Is a top guide included?
No. Add a top guide bracket on the post to keep the gate upright.
Can the gate be motorised?
Yes. Cantilever gates can be automated with a gear rack and a sliding gate operator, which are not included.
Is 6m of track enough?
The track runs the full length of the gate, including the tail behind the opening that balances it. If your gate is longer than 6m, add a further 3m length of light track.
