Beyond the Fence Line: Applications and Benefits of Wrangler Ride Over Gates
Wrangler’s Ride Over Gate (ROG) isn’t just a clever solution for livestock containment, it’s a versatile access control system that’s quietly transforming how farms, construction sites, and even flood-prone urban areas manage movement, safety, and efficiency.
Agricultural Applications
In agriculture, ROGs are a game-changer for daily operations:
-
Livestock Management: ROGs act as spring-loaded cattle stops, allowing vehicles like ATVs, UTVs, and trailers to pass through while deterring animals from crossing.
-
Pivot Irrigation Systems: These gates integrate seamlessly with center pivot irrigators, enabling automatic passage without tangled wires or broken fences.
-
Mobile Feeders & Calf Trailers: Farmers can tow equipment over the gate without worrying about calves following, streamlining feeding routines.
- Perimeter Access: Install ROGs near sheds, homes, or road gates to reduce manual gate handling and improve security.

Construction & Industrial Use
While originally designed for farms, ROGs are gaining traction in construction and industrial zones:
-
Jobsite Access: On large construction sites, ROGs allow trucks and equipment to move freely without stopping to open gates.
-
Safety Zones: They help define controlled access areas, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry and improving site safety.
- Time Savings: Eliminating gate stops speeds up workflow, especially for repetitive vehicle movement across fenced zones.
Water & Flood Control Settings
ROGs are also finding niche applications in water management:
-
Flood Protection: Drive-over water control gates, like those from Wrangler, are used at garage entrances and levee crossings to prevent flood damage while supporting vehicle traffic.
- Canal & Irrigation Access: In water infrastructure, ROG-style gates allow maintenance vehicles to cross channels without disrupting flow or requiring manual gate operation.
Key Benefits
Whether on a ranch or a jobsite, ROGs offer a trifecta of advantages:
Benefits | Description |
Enhanced Safety | Prevents livestock escape and reduces human exposure to gate-related injuries. |
Improved Workflow | Vehicles pass through without stopping, saving time and labor. |
Cost Savings | No electricity required; minimal maintenance; long-lasting steel construction. |
