Details

Hoover Fence Company's Automated Chain Link Cantilever Gate Kits are designed to provide all the necessary pieces and parts for you to install a high quality sliding gate with gate openers and basic access control hardware to secure driveways or other single openings up to 30' wide. If you have a larger opening to secure, you can utilize two kits (with minor modification) to secure an opening up to 60' wide! Our cantilever gates and chosen accessories are designed to work together and preform reliably for years to come.

By design cantilever gates are perfect for applications where you don't have a lot of room for a gate to swing as cantilever gates slide parallel to the fence which minimizes the overall footprint of the gate system. The 'automated' kits refer to the fact that we have included commonly used and suggested openers and accessories for the respective gate sizes.

If you need a quote for a special size gate, please fill out our Custom Cantilever Gate - Quote Form and email it to us, or contact us for a quote.

We recommend these kits to many kinds of customers:

A. Automated Cantilever Gate Kits are perfect for customers who need to secure an opening with the convenience of gates that open with the push of a button.
B. Automated Cantilever Gate Kits are also perfect for customers tying into an existing fence that are not sure what pieces and parts work together. We also offer all the chain link pieces and parts to make the process quick and painless.
C. Automated Cantilever Gate Kits will also work great for customers that want to build elaborate access control systems that require cantilever gates. Our systems are fully expandable and you may add whatever accessories you need to the system.

(1) Chain Link Cantilever Slide Gate - Available In: 6' High & 20' and 25' Widths

Ordering Notes:

The sizes shown are the opening sizes that these gates will secure. Please note that these gates have a counterbalance that can be as much as 50% of the opening size so you will need a total of 1.5 times the opening size to the right or the left of the gate (whichever direction it slides) so that you can fully open the gate. Gates are also built shorter than the height shown so that there is room for all the hardware while maintaining the height of the surrounding fence.

Gates do not include barbed wire. If your project requires barbed wire, please see our Barbwire Kits for Gates under the product parts.

Please specify direction of slide upon ordering in the customer comments section.

Cantilever gate frames consist of 2-1/2" O.D. horizontal rails, 2" O.D. vertical bracing, and 1-5/8" diagonal bracing; all are welded and galvanized for the longest lasting gate. Chain link is 9ga. 2" mesh (1.2 oz. zinc galvanized after weaving). Gates are fully stretched, including counterbalance so they do not require modification if you wish to automate in the future.

The slide gate counterbalance should be approximately 1/2 the length of the gate opening. Minimum counter balance should be 4' long. If an automatic operator is to be installed, the counter balance may need to be longer so the operator can 'pull' the gate shut by the rear of the counter balance.

Post sizes are important. Generally steel chain link cantilever slide gates require 3" O.D. roller posts for widths up to 10' opening size. Use 4" O.D. posts up to 20' and 6-5/8" O.D. posts up to 32'. These specifications are for 6' high gates and shorter. For taller gates increase post sizes at each step and use 8-5/8" O.D. posts for 32' gates. We use mostly 4" OD steel posts for our aluminum slide gates.

Concrete footers need to be significant. 18" diameter x 42" deep is recommended for 3-4" posts, 24" diameter x 42" for 6-5/8" O.D. posts and 30" diameter x 48" for 8-5/8" O.D. posts. Increase bottom diameters 6"; creating a bell-shaped hole. The up and down stress with these type gates will 'work' even the largest posts out of the ground. Poor soil conditions, such as sand, will require larger footers. Always consult local building codes or practices prior to beginning any construction project. Call 811 prior to excavating post hole footers.

FAQ

How much does it cost to have vinyl coated chain link fabric stretched on a gate?

We do not charge anymore if you'd like a gate stretched with vinyl coated chain link; simply specify color when ordering. The framework will remain galvanized. Cantilever gate rollers 'sandwich' the gate frame, any painted framework would be scratched off on the top and bottom horizontal pieces. We do not weld cantilever frames vinyl coated or powder coated.

Is there a leading edge rolling wheel on the latch side of the gate?

No, a leading edge roller is not necessary.

What is the maximum width of a steel cantilever slide gate?

The maximum width on a cantilever is a 32' opening size. They can be doubled to make a 64' opening with two gates. We also offer single, double, and box framed aluminum slide gates which can enclose openings of up to 120' wide with two box framed aluminum cantilevers.

Do I need an operator on this gate or how difficult is it to open manually?

You do not need an operator. Larger gates, say 20' opening gates, are naturally heavier and more difficult to open than smaller gates. We offer kits that are both manual and automated so we have you covered either way!

Can these gates be used with vinyl or wood fence?

Yes, however the top and bottom rails of the gate can not be obstructed. The galvanized tubular top and bottom rail would be exposed so it is a matter of if how it would look. There isn't much point in painting these rails as it would rub off because of the rollers. The prices would not change even though we would not ship the gate with chain link. To attach wood to a cantilever gate, you may mount wooden 2 x 4s to the gate verticals and mount your pickets to the 2 x 4. This not only makes it easier to mount the pickets since you can now do so with regular nail, but it will also offset the fence and not obstruct the cantilever rollers. The frame could be hidden completely behind the wood or vinyl fence.

Use caution when trying to do this as there will be a large windload on all of the components once you sheet the gate in wood or vinyl. You will also be increasing the weight by 50%, possibly even doubling it. For this reason, you will likely need larger posts, and maybe even another set of roller posts. Hoover Fence is not responsible for this type of installation as our gates are not designed with this application in mind.

Can barbwire be added to these gates?

Yes, we would weld on special barbarms to the gate in such a way to not obstruct the rollers. There is no barbwire on the counterbalance as it will slide behind the fence line. We also carry bolt-on barbarms that can easily be added to any existing cantilever gates. These are "L" shaped to prevent obstructing the rollers.

How are these gates shipped?

All cantilever gates ship common carrier. In some cases we ship the gate in two pieces usually to be bolted together with plates; occasionally it is best to weld and grind the seams of the two pieces.

Instructions

Generally, posts are set one day and allowed to cure in concrete. Gates typically deliver fully assembled and simply need hung from trucks or rollers. Installing posts and truck brackets plumb and level assures smooth gate operation. Exceptionally large gates may need shipped in more than one piece and assembly finished in the field. Two piece gates will be 'sleeved' for ease of assembly in the field.

Cantilever Gate

Reviewer: A viewer from NM

I have been in the market for a cantilever gate for a couple of years. I have had several companies that seemed interested in installing a gate for me, but NONE has followed through, and the prices I had seemed very high. I was looking online and found the Hoover Fence website, and liked what I saw. When I realized they were in Ohio, I did not even call them for knowing how shipping charges would be. I finally could not resist and called. I talked to Joe, who was very helpful, and informative. When he gave me the quote, I was very surprised, and then asked about a second gate. I actually got 2 gates, one 15’ automated kit, and one 18’ manual for less than anyone would consider installing one gate for me. Hoover’s instructions were very clear, and accurate. I have them both installed, and love the ease of working them. I highly recommend anyone interested in a gate, or gate accessories to call HooverFence.com!
