Although not used frequently, vertical tilt gates are typically used when space doesn’t allow for any other type of gate. While slide and swing gates can take up a great amount of space horizontally and peripherally, the vertical tilt gate maintains the same footprint throughout.

In areas where high snow accumulations are not only prevalent but also expected, vertical tilt gates make mobility and plowing simple. In the Midwest they’re most often seen on commercial sites not equipped to house large entry gates but in need of site secure access.
