C Channel Section with Nylon Block
The C channel with Nylon Block is fitted to a support post behind the gate on the inside. On the back of the gate the supplied Z section slides through the nylon block. This totally removes the need for rollers operating on an uneven surface such as vertical cladding or any protrusions that may be above the gate frame such as spears.
The C channel and nylon block also works well for gates on a grade where the guide system must follow UP/DOWN during the gates operation, Suitable for gates where there is overhead protrusions such as spears, suitable for gates with face mounted cladding to the frame.
The C channel is available in both Steel (with top cap) and Aluminum and the Nylon block is available in both white and black colour options.
Aluminum Z Profile Angle for Rear Guiding by Nylon Block
✓ Compatible with all gate using 40mm tubing or greater
✓ 4mm Aluminum Extrusion Profile Specific for use with sliding gate guiding
✓ 34mm Mounting face with 6mm pre punched holes for fixing every 300mm
✓ Total offset of 42mm from gate back face to the back of the angle
Gate Catcher/Receiver Meeting Point
Multiple options available to choose from based on the gates total thickness including and cladding material if applicable. It is recommended to use a gate catcher that is 10mm greater than the gate thickness. All catchers are available with offset brackets allowing for closing behind a post (as opposed to up to a post).
Sliding Gate Wheel Options
Internal Recess/Flush Mount Wheels
Internal Double bearing wheels allow the gate wheels to be recessed into the bottom of the gate frame (minimum height 78mm tubing), they keep the gate close to the ground track system (normally within 25mm) and provide the neatest aesthetic. The small pocket cut into the bottom of the gate is not greater than the 78mm wheel diameter and allows the flange points to meet with the tubing on either side and screw into place.
External Surface Mount Wheels
The easiest to install, these bearing wheels screw directly to the bottom of the gate tubing without any need for cutting, the external surface mounting wheels typically raise the gate 90mm from the ground track system.
Sliding Gate Ground/Floor Track
The sliding gate ground track is formed from galvanized steel to the R10 profile, this profile is proven to be the smoothest operation for the gate wheels without any negative characteristics like the older v groove designs.
The track is secured to the driveway using plugs and screws or knock in’s such as anchor nails, its important to use a fixing that does not protrude greater than 3-4mm to prevent contact with the gate wheels.
✓ Galvanized Steel
✓ Elongated 6mm holes allow for adjustment before final tie down
✓ Suits all R10 gate wheels
Gate Stopper
The gate stopper is a crucial part to any sliding gate installation, the stop is installed at the end of the open position to prevent the gate from being opened past the normal open point which prevents the sliding gate from coming off the track (or out of the top guiding system.
✓ Rubber Bumper
✓ 115mm High
✓ 8mm stem and 4mm base steel thickness
