{"product_id":"sliding-gate-ground-track-3m-20mm-round-60x15mm","title":"Sliding Gate Ground Track 3m, 20mm Round Head, 60 x 15mm Galvanised, Surface Fix","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA low-profile galvanised ground track for sliding gates that run on wheels with a 20mm half round groove.\u003c\/strong\u003e This 3m length has a rounded head 20mm across, rising only 15mm above a flat base 60mm wide, so it sits low on a finished concrete surface and a vehicle crossing it meets a shallow hump rather than a kerb. Oblong fixing slots are already cut along both flanges, ready for anchors. If you are laying a sliding gate run on an existing slab, or replacing a worn track without breaking out the concrete, this is the surface-fixed option. The price shown is for one 3m length, with a minimum order of 3, because these are normally bought in numbers for a run of gates or doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/sliding-gate-ground-track-3m-20mm-round-60x15mm-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 60 x 15mm galvanised sliding gate ground track end section, 3m long, with slotted fixing holes along both flanges\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this track works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt keeps the gate on its line.\u003c\/strong\u003e The groove of each wheel sits over the rounded head, so the wheels cannot walk sideways as the gate rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt goes down without digging.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixing slots run the full length, at 120mm centres at each end and 300mm centres between, so you drill and anchor into sound concrete instead of cutting a channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow across the opening.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 15mm it is the lowest of our round head tracks, which matters where pedestrians, trolleys and cars cross the line of the gate through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSliding gates on yards, depots, farm entrances, commercial premises and driveways, whether they are moved by hand or by an automatic operator.
