Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros provides professional cantilever gates in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. Cantilever gates carry their own weight on post-mounted roller assemblies, so nothing touches the ground and there is no track to clog, flood or bend. In Fort Lauderdale that is not a technical curiosity, it is often the deciding factor, because a great many driveways here sit low enough to hold water after a downpour and some of them take salt water on a king tide. A V-track gate in standing brine is a gate that will seize; a cantilever simply carries on. It is also the right answer on a rough or sloping approach, on any opening a truck or a boat trailer has to clear, and on any gate that has to cycle dozens of times a day at a marina or a yard without a service call every month. The engineering is different from a track gate and it punishes shortcuts. A cantilever needs a counterbalance tail behind the opening, typically around half the clear opening width again, so a twenty-four-foot opening wants roughly twelve extra feet of fence line to park the tail in. It needs a properly designed truss in the frame, because the leaf is a beam supported near one end rather than resting on the ground. And it needs posts that are genuinely engineered: deep footings, correct spacing and roller assemblies sized to the weight. Undersized posts are the single most common failure we are called out to fix, and it always presents the same way, a gate that starts binding and a post that has visibly begun to lean. We fabricate cantilever frames in house from heavy-wall galvanized tube, weld the truss rather than bolting it, and finish with hot-dip galvanizing or a blast-and-powder-coat system, because a coating failure on a gate that cycles fifty times a day in salt air turns into structural rust fast. Infill can be chain link, welded wire mesh, expanded metal, ornamental picket or solid privacy panel, with wind load calculated rather than assumed. Operators are Class III or Class IV rated to the leaf weight, wired to UL 325 with photo eyes on both approaches, safety edges where the traffic pattern warrants them, and loop detectors for exit and safety. Repairs we handle constantly: worn and seized rollers, leaning posts, frames bent by a trailer that misjudged the opening, and operators that were never sized for the gate they were bolted to.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities including Pompano Beach, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Materials, equipment and how we do cantilever gates
The difference between cantilever gates that lasts and cantilever gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
