[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1272906, member: 16453"] A lot of the design suggestions for sliders to me seem disfunctional. I finally got off my ar$e and took some photos of what is pretty much standard gates on crushes and races here in Australia. All the sliding action is from the top so no tracks to stuff up on the bottom. When closed the sliding mechanism goes back in with the gate so nothing to knock your head on. Very little effort to use so fatigue not an issue if using all day long. They just bluddy work. I knocked mine up about 7 years ago and they get a lot of work. I have a bought one around at my other place I put in last year and it is similar but just a refinement of my battered old thing. It has nylon rollers so is super quiet and has a great automatic lock and unlock mechanism on the handle.
