Telescopic system for a cantilever gate
Telescopic gates are the solution for situations where there isn't enough room to open a standard sliding gate. When choosing the right solution, you need to know two things: the opening width and the space available to retract the open gate.
Telescopic sliding gates can be:
- Track-mounted telescopic gates
- Cantilever telescopic gates
- Telescopic drive system for cantilever gates with an extra-short overhang
In this category, you'll find components for cantilever telescopic gates.. They can consist of two or three sections.

Self-supporting telescopic gates provide space savings when opening of approx. 30–50% compared with a standard self-supporting gate, which can be a deciding factor in many cases.
A two-section self-supporting gate saves 30–50% of the space required to open it. For example, a standard self-supporting gate with a clear opening of 4m requires approximately 4.85m of space to open. If you use a two-section telescopic gate with the same 4m clear opening, approximately 3.6m of space, including clearance, will be sufficient to open it.
Dimensions are given as “approximate” because the exact length of each gate section may vary depending on the overlap you require between the individual sections. You can adjust this to suit your needs. In general, however, we can use the calculation shown in the images:
| Gate with a clear opening width of up to 4.25m | Gate with a clear opening width of up to 8m |

Alternatively, you can build a telescopic system yourself using individual components from our range. Contact us if you would like advice on choosing the right components.
In our photo gallery, you will find two examples of DIY telescopic self-supporting gates:
- Two-section telescopic self-supporting gate with a clear opening width of 4.5m
- Two-section telescopic self-supporting gate with a clear opening width of 9m
Comparison of the space required to open standard and telescopic gates
Comparison of the opening and closing speeds of standard and telescopic gates.
Standard gate operators are used, but the individual sections of a telescopic gate open simultaneously. As a result, a two-section telescopic gate opens twice as fast.
