TRACKLESS TWINNED TELESCOPIC CANTILEVER HARDWARE - SPACE SAVING FEATURE

TRACKLESS TWINNED TELESCOPIC CANTILEVER HARDWARE FOR DRIVEWAYS UP TO 4.25 MT

The traditional sliding gate needs enough room of completely clear back space for the gate leaf to slide into. The Cantilever Telescopic Gates are used when there is no room for the traditional sliding or swing gate or architectural effect. 

HOW DOES “FOLLOW ME” WORKS?

A FOLLOW ME SET – Pocket Gate Hardware is telescopic cantilever sliding gate hardware that disappears when fully opened into a compartment in the adjacent fence. The telescopic cantilever hardware split the gate into overlapping sections that slide closed alongside the other section. FOLLOW ME SET travel on flying carriages suspended from a cantilevered track featuring a dedicated twinned track. FOLLOW ME SET is driven by a standard sliding gate opener (not included), and a series of cables controls the opening and closing of the second leaf. As FOLLOW ME SET is a trackless cantilever system, and it will not require any track laid in the driveway entrance.

FIXING THE PROBLEM OF BACKSPACE

Installing a telescopic pocket cantilever gate, rather than a traditional cantilever sliding gate, can solve the backspace problem by reducing the necessary space by up to 36%. A telescopic cantilever variation called a “cantilever pocket gate” may be used where standard cantilever or swing gate installation is impractical; this version is recommended for homes with a backspace problem due to the minor backspace needed for opening.  This is ideal for properties with short driveways as it only requires minimal space for the gate to open fully.

FAST OPENING AND CLOSING

FOLLOW ME is a High-speed telescopic gate hardware that doubles the speed of opening and closing if compared to a standard cantilever or traditional sliding gate system by using an integrated system of special flying carriages + dedicated twinned tracks, and a series of cables that controls the opening and closing of the second leaf.

As the back gate opens, the wire rope pulls the front gate panel along by twice as much as the back, so it travels at double the speed and goes twice as far, ending up directly in front of the back gate when open. The same occurs with the second half of the wire rope when closing.

THE INSTALLATION STEPS

TWO SIDES FOLLOW ME SET BI-PARTING (Double) TELESCOPIC CANTILEVER HARDWARE

If your client has some side room on both sides of the driveway, but not enough for a traditional cantilever sliding gate, then two telescopic cantilever gates could go side by side that open in different directions, commonly known as Bi-parting Telescopic Cantilever Gates.

Installing a Bi-parting Telescopic Cantilever Gate is the same as two single-piece sliding gates but you have the keeper on one telescopic cantilever gate instead of a post.

1. Cantilever Track & Roller Support Components

• SPEED S : 8-wheel roller carriages/trolleys mounted to the concrete foundation pads to support the main sliding leaf.

• STAGE SZ (track c-profile sections): Lower C-profile cantilever guide rail attached to the bottom of the main gate leaf.

• RUN S : Bottom end run-in wheel / guide shoe that mounts into the end of the STAGE SZ C-profile.

• PARK : End-run support / stop holder plate mounted at the receiving end of the post.

• PADDOCK : Upper end-stop catch / buffer bracket to hold the gate securely in the closed position.

• PILOT: End caps for closing the exposed ends of the C-profile tracks.

2. Guide Rails & Upper Guidance Components

• DRIVER 38 (3.8 m): Top U-profile guide channel attached to the primary gate leaf for guiding the secondary leaf.

• JRS 30 : Upper guide bracket with nylon rollers for main leaf stabilization.

• RR 30 : Nylon guide roller for smooth overhead movement.

3. "Follow Me" Cable Drive & Telescopic Mechanism

• Telescopic Transmission Pulley Assembly: Precision-mounted cable pulleys installed on the gate leaves.

• Steel Transmission Cable Kit: High-tensile steel cable configured to transfer motion from the driven primary leaf to the secondary leaf (driving the front panel at twice the relative speed).

• Cable Tensioners & Anchors: Hardware used to fix and tension the transmission line at the gate post ends and leaf frames.

• Inter-Leaf Guide Rollers & Brackets: Roller assemblies for keeping both overlapping gate sections aligned parallel throughout travel.

(Note: The actual automated gate opener engine, motor rack, and upper/lower frame structure for the gate leaves themselves are supplied separately according to your gate's architectural design.)
