Comunello Cantilever Gate System
We have now made Comunello Cantilever Gate Systems available in the USA!!
The Cantilever Gate System line is a new solution for sliding gates, whether light, medium or heavy. With respect to a traditional gate sliding on wheels and track, its technical innovation lies in the fact that the entire gate is cantilevered over the ground without any track fixed in the pavement. These systems consist of load-bearing trolleys, monorail, upper and lower strikes, adjustment tie-rods, fixing templates and a variety of support solutions.
Comunello is part of Fratelli Comunello, a leading Italy-based company dealing in a variety of gate hardware. Comunello is the perfect choice, with its complete line of accessories and a product configuration to calculate the correct dimensions for gates.
