Engineered to travel cleanly across wide driveways, sloped entrances, and commercial yards with zero ground track, every electric cantilever sliding gate by Arts of Steel Limited is bespoke-fabricated in our Surrey workshop.

Set back along the entrance apron so vehicles clear the main road immediately, this large bow-top cantilever gate glides across the driveway with zero ground contact—eliminating any risk of debris, gravel, or ice jamming a floor track. The motor and cantilever carriage assemblies are enclosed inside expanded steel mesh guards for safety while preserving maintenance access, and the run-back zone is enclosed with matching railings, a lockable maintenance pedestrian gate, and weed-suppressing gravel landscaping.
Protected by two pairs of safety photocells, full-height rubber safety edges on the opening posts, and end-travel catching nests. Access control includes vehicle induction loops, electronic time-clock scheduling, and a vandal-resistant audio intercom with keypad housed inside a bespoke driver-height weather shield.
Constructed from generous 80mm steel profile framing and 32mm solid square vertical bars, this bow-top cantilever gate is proportioned to look like a traditional double-leaf swing gate while running completely clear of the ground. Custom fabricated brackets with upgraded rollers and both full-open and full-close catching nests deliver smooth, rigid travel.
Equipped with dual photocells inside vandal-resistant steel casings, post-mounted safety edges, expanded mesh guarding around the drive carriages, flush-mounted electronic keypads on entry and exit posts, vehicle loops, time-clock control, and a timber-fenced run-back zone with gravel membrane and lockable maintenance access gate.
Illustrated via our in-house CAD drafting facility, residential cantilever gates deliver high security and zero ground-track maintenance while retaining the classic appearance of a decorative double-leaf driveway gate—making them ideal for inclined driveways, gravel drives, or uneven ground between brick piers or steel pillars.
To preserve clean outer aesthetics, the cantilever channel is fabricated as a boltable assembly fitted flush with the front fascia so it receives the exact same hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated finish as the gate. Inside, enclosed self-lubricating bearings with Teflon roller covers provide silent, paint-safe operation.
Hot-dip galvanised in self-colour finish for decades of maintenance-free corrosion protection, this heavy-duty cantilever barrier gate secures commercial car parks, logistics depots, and industrial yards where HGVs and forklifts cross the entrance continuously without risking damage to a ground track.
Engineered with top-mounted upright support carriages and heavy-duty rollers suited to low-profile barrier geometry, delivering high anti-ram and vandal-resistant strength alongside optional non-climbable security infills.
Trackless electric cantilever gates are the premier solution for sloped driveways, gravel entrances, uneven ground, and high-traffic commercial yards across Surrey, West Byfleet, Weybridge, Ripley, Woking, Guildford, and SW London. Designed and fabricated in-house by Arts of Steel Limited, every cantilever system eliminates ground-track obstructions while providing anti-ram security, expanded-mesh motor guarding, and full EN 13241-1 safety compliance.
