Cantilever, swing, and tracked slide
Three ways the gate can open. No prices on this page.
| Fact | Cantilever | Swing | Tracked slide |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it opens | Slides beside the fence | Swings in or out like a door | Rolls across the opening on a ground track |
| Driveway while it opens | Stays clear — the gate parks beside the fence | Needs a clear swing path | The gate travels through the opening |
| Track in the pavement? | No | No | Yes |
| Choose this when | Trucks need a clear apron and there is space beside the fence | The opening has room to swing without hitting parking or sidewalks | The site already has a ground track, or wants one |
| Watch-outs | Needs room beside the opening for the gate to park | The swing path can block trucks, parking, or a sidewalk | The track can collect debris |
| Automatic opener | Available when the estimate includes it | Available when the estimate includes it | Available when the estimate includes it |

Frequently asked
- Which gate should I pick?
- The one that matches how trucks use the apron. Cantilever if you need the drive clear. Swing if there is room to arc.
- Will a cantilever block trucks?
- No. It slides beside the fence, so the apron stays usable.
- Can these gates be automated?
- Yes, when the on-site estimate includes an operator.
