Tandem Slide Gates Dallas
High-capacity sliding gate systems engineered for wide openings, heavy traffic, and secure access control in Dallas commercial and industrial environments.
Tandem Slide Gates by 78 Fence
Large commercial and industrial properties in Dallas often require gate systems that can secure extremely wide openings without sacrificing reliability or operational efficiency. At 78 Fence, we install tandem slide gate systems designed to manage heavy vehicle traffic and oversized entry points that exceed the limits of a single sliding gate. Tandem gate configurations provide a practical, durable solution for facilities that need dependable access control at scale.
What Are Tandem Slide Gates?
Tandem slide gates use two sliding gate panels that operate together to close a single large opening. Instead of relying on one oversized gate leaf, the opening is divided between two coordinated panels that slide from opposite sides or in sequence. This design reduces structural strain, improves stability, and allows for smoother operation across very wide entry points.
Tandem slide gates are commonly paired with cantilever systems or track-based designs depending on site conditions, traffic volume, and security requirements.

Common Applications for Tandem Slide Gates in Dallas
Tandem slide gate systems are well-suited for facilities that manage large vehicle traffic and oversized access points. Common applications include:
- Distribution centers and logistics hubs
- Truck yards and freight terminals
- Manufacturing and industrial plants
- Utility and infrastructure facilities
- Large commercial campuses
- Secure facilities requiring wide, controlled entry points
These systems allow properties to maintain strong security while accommodating the operational demands of large-scale access.
Tandem Slide Gates vs Single Slide Gates
Single sliding gates work well for standard commercial openings, but they can become impractical as gate width increases. Oversized single gates place additional stress on rollers, frames, and support posts, which can lead to premature wear.
Tandem slide gates solve this issue by dividing the load between two panels. This results in smoother movement, improved alignment, and longer system lifespan—especially important for Dallas facilities with constant truck traffic and daily gate cycles.
