Recent Cantilever Gate Project - Groundworks, Installation, Set Up

Cantilever Gate Installation
Entrance Supplied Direct ltd are pleased to share with you a recent Cantilever Gate Project in Birmingham completed by our experienced and knowledgeable team.

Cantilever gates are a popular choice for commercial businesses because of the durability and ease of use. Cantilever gates are designed to be hung on one end, or cantilevered, so that they can be easily opened and closed without the need for a track or guide. This makes them ideal for installation where the ground is uneven or where there is limited space for a traditional swing or sliding gate.

Key elements of this project included:

Removal of old tracked rusty
faulty gate removed
⁠ground works completed, and civil works undertaken using digger
⁠scrap metal removal
⁠waste removed and recycled where possible
⁠concrete installation
⁠Hiab delivery on lorry & offloading
⁠commercial gate from Ultimation Direct
⁠Gate set up and commissioned

Benefits of installing a Cantilever gate at your business premises:

Security – Cantilever Gates provide an additional layer of security at your business premises they act as a visual and physical deterrent to unauthorised personnel. Cantilever gates are also more difficult to force open from the outside as they do not have a clear opening point making them an idea security gate option.

Reliability – Cantilever gates offer a reliable and robust gate solution to commercial and industrial businesses. Cantilever gates can be installed in more challenging environments such as on a slant where traditional sliding or swing gates could be difficult.

Additional space – Cantilever gates can provide additional room compared to swing or sliding gates however it is important to remember that extra space is required on one side to accommodate the gate while the entrance is open. However, by moving the system to the side as opposed to opening it inwards or out, the space on the other side of the gate can be used to full capacity.

Cost – Many factors will depend on the overall cost of the completed project such as groundworks, size of gate, access control options etc. Cantilever gates are very reliable and other than an annual maintenance they require very little maintenance.

Manual and Electric Driveway Gates offer homeowners additional security, convenience and aesthetic enhancement to their homes but what happens when they stop functioning as they should? Sometimes there are small measures you can take to get them working again however larger issues will require a call out from Entrance supplies Direct ltd to repair. In today’s blog we will look at the top 10 most common issues resulting in electric and manual driveway gates not operating as they should, some simple measures you can do to try and resolve this, and which repairs need to be undertaken by an engineer. ‌ 1. Gates are noisier than usual- There are many reasons why noise may come from your driveway gate, while a beeping noise may indicate a battery issue, a squeaking or squealing can indicate a lack of lubrication and a grinding can be a sign that mechanical components are worn out. You can ensure parts such as hinges are lubricated and ensure there is no debris in the motor box but if this does not resolve the noise an engineer is required to find the cause of the issue. 2. Sensors are not working correctly – Electric gate sensors detect if an obstacle is in its pathway if it detects an object such as car, person or animal it will stop. Damaged sensors can result in serious injury and damaged vehicles if not working correctly. They are very important for safety, so we highly recommend contacting us to book in a repair immediately. 3. Gates opening and closing without instruction – Not only is this inconvenient it is also a safety concern. This can indicate an issue with the sensors or an electrical fault other than ensuring there is no debris stopping the sensors working effectively an engineer is required for a repair. 4. Gates are not opening and closing properly – This issue will need an engineer to identify the cause of the gates not opening and closing in the correct manner as there are many reasons this may be happening. 5. Misaligned or sagging gates - If you notice your driveway gate isn’t aligning properly or is sagging this can indicate the hinges have become worn and need to be repaired as soon as possible also if a gate is sagging this could also be cause for concern, possible reasons for this other than worn hinges can include sinking posts and structural issues of the gate. 6. Delayed Response – A delayed response from your electric gate signals there is an issue with the gate and controls responding to each other ensure the power supply to the gate and contact an engineer for assistance. ‌ 7. Gate is moving slowly, or manual gate is very stiff – Over time gates are exposed to harsh weather elements and may become stiff to move as a result of wear and tear ensure enough lubrication on hinges and contact an engineer to take a look. If you have automated driveway gates and they become slow to open and close this again can indicate wear and tear or possibly an electrical issue, to ensure there is no additional pressure on the motor contact us for a repair. 8. Signs of damage – If your gate has signs of damage for example from a vehicle contact an engineer for a repair immediately it is unknown the extent of the damage occurred and a full inspection will be required to assess what repairs will be required to ensure your gate is still safety compliant and in the correct working order. 9.Access control not working correctly – Depending on the type of access control you have there could be various reasons for it not working correctly check batteries and ensure there is sufficient funds on intercoms. Contact us for additional advice. 10.
