Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros provides professional commercial & industrial gates in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. The marine yards along the Dania Cut-off Canal and the New River run the hardest environment for a gate anywhere in Broward. Bottom paint dust, pressure wash runoff, hauled boats dripping salt water across the apron, and a perimeter that is half chain link and half water.
Gates on those sites corrode from the ground up. Runoff pools on the yard apron and sits, so anything with a ground track is finished quickly, and even cantilever posts take splash constantly. We build these openings wide, off the ground, and out of aluminum wherever the span allows, then put every fastener and every truck assembly in stainless with isolation at the joint. Isolation at every joint is not an upgrade here, it is the specification.
Opening width is set by the equipment, not by the vehicles. A travel lift or a hauled hull on a trailer needs far more clear width than a truck does, and it needs that width without an intermediate post. Measuring the widest thing that will ever pass through, then adding real clearance, is the first thing we do on a yard survey, because a gate that is six inches tight becomes a gate that gets hit.
Getting hit is normal in a working yard, so we design for repair rather than for perfection. Bolted leading edge sections that can be swapped, a bottom rail heavy enough to take a bump, and truck assemblies that come off without cutting. A gate that can be fixed in an afternoon is worth more than one that cannot be fixed at all. Bolted leading edge sections come out with a wrench rather than a grinder.
Where the operator sits is a design decision on these sites. We put it up on a plinth clear of the wash apron, away from the line a hull travels, with its conduit entering from below and the disconnect somewhere a yard hand can find in the dark. A bollard in front of it costs almost nothing and prevents the most expensive thing that happens to gate operators in boatyards.
Wash down is the maintenance program, and it is genuinely simple. If the yard already hoses equipment with fresh water, add the gate hardware to that round. Salt that is rinsed off weekly does a small fraction of the damage salt that is left on does. Put the gate hardware on the wash down checklist and it costs a yard hand four minutes.
Access control on these sites should be as basic as the operation allows. Yards are dirty, gloves are wet, and a rugged keypad with a manual override survives conditions that a delicate reader does not. Mount it on a bollarded pedestal, because a struck pedestal is the most common access control failure we attend.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities including Pompano Beach, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial & industrial gates
The difference between commercial & industrial gates that lasts and commercial & industrial gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
