Drive-Over Gate Closes Itself FENCING Gates 23-1-19 No animal can get by this new drive-over gate that closes itself.
Invented by Alberta farmer Hans Knudtson, the gate consists of uprights made of lightweight 1 1/4-in. sq. aluminum. When pushed by a bumper or tires, the gate folds flat to the ground. Spring-loaded cables attached to the corners raise the gate back up after the vehicle has passed. A gas strut cushions the gate as it closes.
The just-introduced gate is already on the market, manufactured by Rachar Steel. The company says the area around the gate must be kept clean and graded flat - preferably with clay or concrete - so the gate does not get bent as it's driven over.
The gate is available in sizes from 12 to 14 ft. wide. Price ranges from $1,175 (Canadian) for the 12-ft. model to $1,375 (Canadian) for the 14-ft. model.
