About this Service
Cantilever slide gates eliminate ground tracks where heavy winter snowfall and steep grade conditions make standard slide gates fail across Conifer remote mountain residences and unincorporated mountain properties. The gate suspends from a roller carriage on a structural beam, with counterbalance weights supporting the cantilever arm. This trackless design suits mountain acreage where snow accumulation blocks ground-level gate hardware.
Installation anchors the structural beam to concrete footings set in rocky mountain soil, with the roller carriage supporting gates up to 1,200 pounds for residential driveways. Cellular access control works where broadband isn't available, while solar-powered systems with battery backup handle power outages during mountain wind exposure. The elevated design prevents ice buildup that stops ground-track gates during freeze-thaw cycles.
Cantilever systems require more structural reinforcement than standard slide gates but deliver year-round operation without snow-clearing maintenance. The roller carriage and guide wheels need annual inspection, while the trackless design handles Conifer's steep driveways without ground-level obstructions that complicate drainage or snow removal.
