About this Service
Cantilever slide gates suit Evergreen mountain residential estates and elevated-terrain homes where mountain slope terrain and heavy seasonal snowfall make ground-track gates impractical. The gate hangs from a roller carriage on a structural beam, eliminating ground tracks that fill with snow during winter storms. Counterbalance weights support the cantilever arm, allowing smooth operation through freeze-thaw cycles.
Installation requires concrete footings anchored in rocky subsoil, with the structural beam supporting gates up to 1,200 pounds for residential driveways. Winter-ready automation includes battery backup sized for multi-day storms and motor systems rated for mountain wind exposure. The trackless design prevents ice accumulation that blocks standard slide gates during Evergreen's seasonal snowfall.
Cantilever systems demand more upfront structural work than ground-track gates but eliminate snow-clearing maintenance. The roller carriage and guide wheels need periodic inspection, while the elevated design handles Bear Creek watershed drainage patterns without ground-level obstructions. All systems integrate with cellular access control for mountain community properties.
