How a tracked gate works

The leaf of a tracked sliding gate runs on wheels along a track set in concrete across the opening. The leaf is only slightly longer than the opening itself, which makes it suitable where there is not enough room for a cantilever gate.

What to consider when designing the gate

• Track and wheels – the track profile must match the wheel groove (V for a track set on edge, U for a round profile). Choose the wheel load capacity according to the weight of the leaf.
• Foundation – the track needs a solid concrete foundation along its entire length so that it does not settle and the gate runs easily even after years.
• Maintenance – the track must be kept clean, especially in winter.
• Guides and stops – the top guide keeps the leaf upright, and stops halt the gate in its end positions.

To automate the gate, use a sliding gate operator. We can arrange a finished made-to-measure gate through partner metalworkers – .
