7-Metre Cantilever Sliding Gate in Co. Wexford

We supplied and installed a 7-metre single sliding gate for a Wexford County Council property. The gate uses a cantilever system, so it moves across the entrance without a ground track. We built the heavy-duty frame from 100 × 100 box section and fitted it with weld mesh infill and security spikes along the top. The entire structure was galvanised to provide a long lifespan. This installation shows how cantilever gates can be built for a large commercial opening while keeping the gate’s movement clear of a ground track.

We automated the gate with a heavy-duty SEA industrial Lupus 1600kg motor. That motor provides the powered movement for the single sliding gate across its 7-metre opening. We also installed safety edges and photocells as part of the gate’s safety equipment. The safety edges detect contact at the gate, while the photocells detect an obstruction in their monitored area. Access is controlled through a tag reader, allowing authorised users to operate the motorised gate using their tags.

The completed gate installation brings together the galvanised cantilever gate, industrial motor, safety equipment and tag reader at the Wexford County Council property.
