Size required for concrete base in millimetres. Total gate weight in kilograms. Greatest force to which the gate is subjected overall length required in millimetres opening plus run off area. All cantilever slide gates will share certain characteristics which differentiate themselves from.

The effective length between one gate post and the other. The posts are typically spaced a distance equal to 50 of the opening. Beninca automation uk ltd.
