Comunello DuraGates CGS-250.8P Cantilever Gate Hardware - Galvanized Steel / 1,300 Lbs

DuraGates cantilever gate hardware offers a trouble free and easy to install solution for sliding gates!

This simple, yet heavy duty system can handle almost all sliding gate applications. Sealed bearings and covered rollers avoid many of the usual maintenance and efficiency problems due to weather elements. They also help comply with UL325 and ASTM F2200 gate safety standards.

All products are manufactured in Italy by Fratelli Comunello, the world leaders in gate hardware. The technical innovation in the system, as compared to a traditional sliding gate, lies in the fact that the entire gate is cantilevered off the ground without any rollers traveling on the ground. This allows for free movement of the gate in uneven ground conditions and reduces the wear and tear on the gate and on any installed gate automation. The sealed bearings on the carriage assembly require no maintenance or lubrication. Besides, it gives the gate a nice clean look with minimal visible hardware. This engineered solution also reduces the length of the counterbalance resulting in a smaller overall gate length.

The bottom track is available in galvanized steel, aluminum track and stainless steel and can accommodate a solution for every type of rolling gate project. By welding or mechanically fastening the gate to the bottom track, DuraGates sliding gate system can be used with any gate material such as steel, wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, etc.

The model selection depends on the combination of the size of the opening and the weight of the gate. Based on the combination, several models may fit your project. The heavier the model, the smaller the counterbalance (tail of the gate) which becomes increasingly important when you have a tight space. Our cantilever gate configurator will provide you the optimal selection of model along with dimensions of the tail of the gate, the position of the carriages and the foundation size required.

The hardware, combined with a range of high-quality gate automation we offer, is truly a long lasting and complete solution for any cantilever sliding gate.

The CGS-250.8P has a multiplate carriage body with 8 wheels and sealed bearings. Large pivot allows for increased weight capacity, smooth sliding and stability. Larger wheel dimensions increase the weight capability and reduce wear and tear between wheels and tracks. The CGS-250.8P can accommodate light to medium weight gates and is commonly used for a wide variety of commercial and residential installations.

• Higher Weight Capacity — With the weight of the gate transferred to the ground, gate openings up to 59 feet with a weight of 4000 pounds can be accommodated.
• Enclosed Track — Enclosed track system helps comply with ASTM F2200 & UL325 safety standards. This system is perfect for snowy, icy, rainy . . . basically any environment as the rollers are enclosed inside the track and are not affected by precipitation thus eliminating the need for constant cleaning and maintenance.
• Use with any Gate Material — The gate can be either welded or mechanically attached to the bottom track.
• Smaller Overall Gate Length — The counterbalance is less than traditional cantilever hardware which works especially well when space is restricted.
• Easy Installation — Once the 2 carriages are mounted on the concrete pad, simply slide the gate on the carriages and add the end wheels.
• Durability — High quality rollers and track result in years of troublefree operation.
• Reduced Load on Gate Motor — The gate will roll smoothly and can even be operated with one hand. This reduces the load on the gate motor resulting in a longer life and reduced maintenance on the motor.
• Low Maintenance — Enclosed, sealed bearing equipped roller construction, no lubrication required! The sealed bearings really stand up to dusty environments where grit would eat up non-sealed bearing designs.
• Minimal Visible Hardware — Since no unsightly wires or overhead track are needed with DuraGates, our hardware makes for a more aesthetically pleasing gate system. It can also be adapted for a gate with an arched top.
• Unobstructed Driveway — No track on the ground to trip over. The driveway can be uneven and sloping since the gate is off the ground.
