Commercial Cantilever Slide Gates

Track-Free Cantilever Design Built for High-Cycle Operation

Cantilever slide gates roll on an internal roller system carried by a counterbalanced steel beam, so there is no ground track to jam, freeze, or fill with debris. That makes them the right choice for high-cycle entrances, sloped or uneven grade, and sites where a ground-track gate would fail — distribution yards, energy facilities, and 24/7 truck gates.

Because nothing in the gate path can seize, cantilever systems deliver the reliability that high-traffic commercial and industrial sites depend on, with less maintenance over their service life.

Large-Span Fabrication Up to 60 Feet

Every cantilever gate is fabricated in-house at our Houston facility from structural steel, sized to your clear opening, wind-load, and cycle requirements. Spans beyond 20 feet are built with engineered truss or tube-steel framing to stay rigid under load and automation. Custom heights, infill (chain link, ornamental steel, perforated, or solid panel), and finishes are built to spec — not pulled from a catalog.

How a Cantilever Gate Works

Instead of rolling on a wheel in the driveway, a cantilever gate hangs from roller trucks mounted to the gate posts, with a counterbalance section that extends behind the opening. The gate “floats” across the opening, fully supported from the side — which is why it handles dirt, snow, flooding, and heavy use far better than a track gate.

Engineered for Industrial & Logistics Traffic

We build cantilever systems for warehouses, distribution centers, intermodal and freight yards, refineries, substations, and utility sites. Internal roller assemblies, counterbalanced framing, and galvanized or powder-coat finishes are specified for reliable operation and long service life in the Texas climate.

Automation & Access Control, Integrated From Day One

Each cantilever gate is specified alongside its operator and access control — commercial slide-gate operators, vehicle loop detection, and UL325-compliant safety devices — and installed by one contractor. See our automation & access control and the commercial gate systems hub.

Cantilever vs. Slide-Track vs. Swing

A cantilever needs no ground track, so it is the most reliable choice for most commercial sites. A slide-track gate costs less but depends on a clean, level track. A swing gate needs clear space for the arc. We help you choose based on opening width, traffic, grade, and site conditions.
