U.S.A. Patent Number 5,136,813

ORNAMENTAL CANTILEVER

GATE INSTRUCTIONS

All gates require two 4” square truck bracket mounting posts, one to act as Fulcrum Post, the second as Tail 

Support Post.  Set these mounting posts in an off-line configuration as shown in Figure 1.  Check grade condi-

tions to ensure posts are set to proper height; allow no more than four (4) inches from bottom of gate to grade.  

A Supplemental Latch Post, located as shown in Figure 1, is required to mount patented offset latches (see Step 

11 - Page 6).  See post set table page 2.

FIGURE 1

*NOTICE:  Ornamental Cantilever Gates are supplied with rolls of 2” mesh safety screening in sufficient quanti-

ties to cover the entire gate (including overhang) and an equal portion of fence parallel to the gate in the open 

position up to a height of over 6 feet from ground elevation.  This screening must be included when the TransPort 

Gate is assembled at the jobsite.  Additionally, all of the safety requirements of ASTM F2200 must be met during 

installation.  Failure to incorporate the safety mesh or follow ASTM F2200 safety requirements during gate as-

sembly and installation will cause rejection (under UL-325) of the entire gate system any time an attempt is made 

to attach the gate to an automatic gate  operator.  Ameristar assumes no responsibility for gate installations that 

fail to utilize the materials provided or meet the applicable safety standards.
