Why Choose a Cantilever Design?

Standard sliding gates need a perfectly level concrete beam to run on. However, many industrial entrances are sloped, rough, or covered in loose stones. For this reason, cantilever gates are the superior choice. As a result, heavy lorries and forklifts can pass underneath without damaging the system. Also, snow, dirt, and gravel cannot block the wheels. So, your entrance stays operational in all weather conditions.

Heavy Duty Steel Construction

We build our cantilever gates to last a lifetime. Because the gate hangs in the air, the steel frame must be incredibly strong to prevent sagging. Therefore, we use heavy-duty steel box sections. In addition, we recommend a galvanized finish for all our commercial gates. This means the metal is dipped in zinc to make it rust-proof. Thus, your gate looks professional and stays strong for decades.

Cantilever systems are a popular choice for city driveways where space is tight. Learn more about choosing the right security and style for electric gates in Belfast.

Automation and Safety

Safety is vital when moving heavy steel. Consequently, we install high-quality electric motors and safety sensors. If the gate hits a vehicle or person, it stops and reverses instantly. Currently, all our systems follow strict  CE safety standards. This means they are legal, safe, and fully tested. So, you can trust BMC to protect your business assets.
