Magnetic Automation installed a 12-metre MCG XL cantilever gate with a powerful MSL 20MC motor for a coal export site to control access at the wide opening entry point. The cantilever gate was installed to prevent unauthorised foot traffic in a high vehicle thoroughfare area.

Magnetic’s MCG cantilever gates are designed for commercial, industrial and security applications with their modern design eliminating the need for ground tracks and overhead rails. The cantilever system combined with customised options allows for a variety of motors and controllers to be installed based on the specified duty cycle of the gate.

In this particular installation at the coal export site, three strands of barbed wire were fitted above the gate for additional protection and security by preventing anyone from climbing over. The gates are also equipped with flashing lights and sonar alerts, ensuring additional safety when a vehicle enters the premises.
