Pressed steel overhead guides are specialized components used in chain link fence systems, particularly in gate assemblies. Here's how they're typically used:
- Gate Support and Alignment Pressed steel overhead guides are often part of cantilever or sliding gate systems. They help guide the gate along its track, ensuring smooth and stable movement.
- Structural Reinforcement These guides add rigidity to the top portion of the gate frame, preventing sagging or misalignment over time.
- Durability in Harsh Conditions Being made of pressed steel and with Hot Dip galvanized finish, they offer high resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical stress—ideal for industrial or high-security fencing.
- Integration with Overhead Tracks In overhead slide gates, pressed steel guides are mounted to support the gate as it moves along an overhead rail, keeping it suspended and aligned.
- Customization for Security Features They can be designed to accommodate barbed wire or other deterrents, enhancing perimeter security.
