Commercial Gate Co encountered a significant challenge with the Westland Milk job, where double automatic swing gates were causing frequent interruptions to operations due to their tendency to break down.

The solution devised by Commercial Gate Co involved replacing the problematic swing gates with a custom-made double set of cantilever sliding gates. These gates were specifically designed to fit the existing space and address the operational issues faced by Westland Milk.

One of the key considerations during the project was the need to ensure that the installation did not interfere with the ongoing operations of the milk factory. To achieve this, Commercial Gate Co collaborated closely with GM Contracting, a trusted partner with expertise in hydro excavation, to handle the sensitive inground infrastructure without causing disruptions.

The outcome of this project was highly successful. The new cantilever sliding gates resolved the recurring issues of gate breakages, leading to increased operational efficiency and productivity at Westland Milk. The faster opening speeds and improved reliability of the gates not only saved money by reducing maintenance costs but also contributed to a smoother workflow within the factory. Overall, the project was completed to the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved, with positive feedback from Mitch highlighting the positive impact of the solution on Westland Milk’s operations.
