Drive-Over Gate Sets Up Anywhere
“We started making them about 10 years ago,” says Andy Deayton, general manager for Lakeland, a Manitoba-based business. “You can drive over them (gates) with a truck or 4-wheeler. If you have cows grazing, they can’t push it open.”
Farmers and ranchers with fenced pasture who drive through a few times a day appreciate the time and labor the gate saves. The gate also works with irrigation pivots for systems that go through different fields. The heavy-gauge, spring steel is on a spring and works in winter too, as long as the mechanism is free of snow.
“There’s not a lot to go wrong, they are pretty maintenance-free,” Deayton says. “If a spring breaks, we ship a new one.”
The gates come in three sizes: 6, 14 and 16-ft. Prices range from $1,300 to $2,200 including shipping in North America. Lakeland also has a U.S. division in Minnesota.
