What can affect the Effective Gate Weight of your Sliding Gate?
Most of our Sliding Gate designs tend to physically weigh between 100 and 200kg however the Effective Gate Weight can be affected by numerous factors:
SPEED
The faster it goes, the greater the load.
SLOPE
The greater the incline, the heavier it is.
WIND
Wind force against in-fills adds load.
TIMBER
Timber palings or in-fills absorb water increasing overall weight.
HARDWARE
Old, unmaintained hardware can effect the smooth running of a gate which in turn increases its effective weight.
INSTALLATION
If your track isn’t straight or the motor misaligned then EGW will increase.
GATE STYLE
Cantilever & Telescopic gates are much harder to get moving then standard Sliding Gates.
