About this Service
Cantilever slide gates suit Morrison historic mountain estates and Red Rocks area residences where rocky mountain terrain and steep grade driveways 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 weather. Counterbalance weights support the cantilever arm, allowing smooth operation through mountain freeze-thaw cycles.
Installation requires concrete footings anchored in Red Rocks geological features, with the structural beam supporting gates up to 1,200 pounds for residential driveways or 2,000 pounds for estate openings. Solar-powered systems with battery backup handle seasonal power challenges, while powder-coated steel frames resist intense elevation UV. The trackless design prevents ice accumulation that blocks standard slide gates.
Cantilever systems demand more upfront structural work than ground-track gates but deliver privacy-focused automation without snow-clearing maintenance. The roller carriage and guide wheels need periodic inspection, while the elevated design handles Morrison's Front Range terrain and steep driveways without ground-level obstructions that complicate drainage or landscaping.
