Cantilever vs. Ground Rail: Which is Right for You?
Understanding the differences helps you choose the right system for your property.
✅ Cantilever (No Rail)
Premium Choice — Recommended
- No ground track — zero maintenance
- Flood-proof — works even in standing water
- Uneven ground OK — no leveling required
- No debris jamming — leaves, gravel won’t affect operation
- Smoother operation — floating design reduces vibration
- Higher capacity — handles heavier gates with proper engineering
Best for: Factories, warehouses, flood-prone areas, uneven terrain, heavy gates, high-traffic entrances, premium residences.
Requires: 40-50% additional side space for counter-balance tail section.
Ground Rail (Traditional)
Budget-Friendly Option
- Lower initial cost — simpler installation
- Less side space needed — gate length = opening width
- Proven technology — widely used in Thailand
- Easier repairs — common parts available
Limitations:
- Track collects debris, leaves, gravel
- Requires regular cleaning and maintenance
- Water/flooding can damage track and wheels
- Ground must be perfectly level
Best for: Budget-conscious projects, level ground, dry climates, limited side space.
Cantilever Gate Applications
Cantilever gates excel in demanding environments where traditional rail systems struggle.
✅ Ideal Applications
- Factories & Industrial Sites — Heavy truck traffic, 24/7 operation
- Warehouses & Logistics Centers — High-cycle usage, forklift access
- Flood-Prone Areas — Coastal regions, low-lying properties
- Uneven Terrain — Sloped driveways, unpaved entrances
- High-Security Facilities — Data centers, government buildings
- Premium Residences — Luxury homes, modern architecture
- Housing Estates (Moo Baan) — Main entrance gates, guard houses

Frequently Asked Questions
How much side space do I need for a cantilever gate?
You need side space equal to approximately 150% of the opening width. For example, a 6m opening requires about 9m of total gate length (6m opening + 3m counter-balance tail). The tail section can often be hidden behind walls or landscaping.
Can a cantilever gate handle heavy industrial use?
Yes. Cantilever systems are preferred for heavy-duty applications because they handle repeated cycling better than ground-rail systems. Our cantilever hardware supports gates up to 1,800kg, suitable for large factory entrances and logistics centers.
Is cantilever more expensive than ground rail?
The initial cost is typically 20–30% higher due to the specialized hardware and longer gate structure. However, the lifetime cost is often lower because cantilever gates require virtually no maintenance—no track cleaning, no wheel replacements, and fewer flood-related issues.
What happens during a power outage?
The SOMMER motor includes a manual release handle that allows you to open the gate by hand during power failures. For uninterrupted operation, we can add an optional backup battery system for multiple cycles during outages.
Can I automate my existing sliding gate with cantilever?
Converting a ground-rail gate to cantilever requires replacing the entire gate and hardware—it’s essentially a new installation. However, if you already have a manual cantilever gate, we can add a SOMMER motor to automate it.
How long does installation take?
Typical installation takes 2–3 days: Day 1 for foundation and post installation, Day 2–3 for gate mounting, motor installation, and testing. Complex sites or very large gates may require additional time.
