Suspension systems are structures that are attached to the ceiling or another high support point to which various loads are suspended using a cable, chain or other method.
Where suspended systems are used:
- for gates of private houses,
- for the gates of industrial buildings: warehouses, hangars, garages, docks,
- to demarcate working areas,
- on conveyor lines,
- in warehouses for logistics.
Suspension Cantilever Gates
Suspension cantilever gates are a type of gate that is suspended from an upper beam, unlike ground-mounted cantilever gates. This makes them ideal for locations where there is limited ground space or where snow cover can interfere with gate operation.
They consist of a metal gate frame that is suspended on special carriages and is driven by roller carriages that slide along a cantilever beam.
What a suspension system consists of and how it works
Cantilever beam — a metal rail that is attached to the ceiling or other high support point, into which carriages are installed.
Suspension carriages — mechanisms consisting of a metal base with a hole for fastening. Rollers with bearings are mounted on it, which ensure the movement of the carriage along the guide beam and move the load.
Beam plugs — rubber or metal parts that tightly close the beam holes at the edges. They prevent the ingress of dirt, dust and other small particles. The plugs also help to reduce the noise level caused by vibration and friction during the movement of the carriages along the cantilever beam.
Rollers guide plate — a mechanism consisting of two or more rollers that are attached to a metal plate. It is used for hanging gates and is installed so that the gate frame is located between the rollers. The guide plate helps to prevent the gate from swinging during movement.

Advantages of using suspension systems
- Efficiency: suspension systems can move heavy objects with ease. The carriages and beam distribute the weight of the load, making it easier to move.
- Durability: carriages and guide beams are made of durable metal that can withstand heavy use.
- Space-saving: suspension systems on carriages make it possible to use vertical space that often remains unused, freeing up floor space.
- Flexibility: such systems can be easily adapted to different needs and applications. They can be used to support objects of different sizes and shapes, as well as be installed in different places.
- Automation: suspension systems can be automated, which will significantly speed up the process of transporting goods and save time and resources.
