Cantilever Iron Gates - The Great Space Saver

When looking for the best gates many people have found cantilever gates to be suitable for both commercial and industrial purposes. They are aesthetically more attractive and professional looking than swing gates and offer so much more in terms of long term value.
The cantilever gates can be incorporated where road surfaces are uneven because no rails are needed. Rollers support the gate. The rollers slide into a track that is attached to the bottom of the gate.


They take up less space, may be less expensive, and compared to a swing gate are easier to safeguard by using such safety features as safety photo beams. The cantilever gates are excellent too for security purposes since they operate with lower noise levels.

Alpharail is a company that designs bespoke cantilever gates. The company offers many designs to choose from and since Alpharail works in conjunction with architects and designers, new dynamic gate designs are constantly being created. The character of the gate can range from the austere to the whimsical. It can be made welcoming or as a warning to dissuade trespassers from entering.

Some interesting design solutions include integrating the logo or theme of the institution into the gate. For a business requiring brand recognition, the importance of recognizing their identity cannot be over emphasized.

Gates have traditionally been a venue for establishing the name and identity of the grounds. The designs that Alpharail has incorporated range from the whimsical to the classic traditional. All ideas are welcome. Reflectors too can be incorporated into the gates to increase visibility and safety at night. Gates can also be made more solicitous by including interesting archways to introduce the visitor to an estate.

All Alpharail cantilever iron gates are hot dip galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 for maximum anti-corrosion coverage. This treatment increases the likelihood of less maintenance in the future and thus the cantilever gates represent a cost effective solution as a security system.

For the decorative treatment of the iron Alpharail recommends a factory application of Polyester Powder Coated finish to BS6497. The colour range is within the BS/RAL range so there are many available colour choices to choose from.
