Abstract: A method for converting a gate panel into a rolling cantilever-type gate utilizing a conversion kit consisting essentially of a one-piece top-rail extrusion, commercially available roller assemblies, and hardware for attaching the top-rail extrusion to the existing gate panel.The top-rail extrusion is constructed in one piece with a flat vertical ribbed side face having vertical shoulders. The shoulders either bolt directly to the gate panel in a horizontal orientation or attach to the gate panel horizontally with contoured brackets selected to fit the gate's structural members. One side of the top-rail extrusion is provided with a longitudinal compartment having a downward facing opening along its length. The compartment serves as a trackway for upper roller assemblies which are secured to support posts. The upper roller assemblies access the compartment by way of the downward facing opening and support the gate.

Abstract: A kit for converting a standard swing-type gate into a rolling cantilever-type gate. The kit consists of commercially available roller assemblies and guide roller assemblies with associated attaching hardware and a unique top-rail extrusion.The top-rail extrusion is constructed in one piece with a flat ribbed side face having shoulders. Said shoulders either bolt directly to the gate in a horizontal orientation or attach to the gate horizontally with contoured brackets selected to fit the gate's structural members. One side of the top-rail extrusion is provided with a longitudinal compartment having a downward facing opening along its length. The compartment serves as a trackway for upper roller assemblies which are secured to support posts. Said upper roller assemblies access the compartment by way of the downward facing opening and support the gate.
