Well the gates are aluminum or a combination of metals, but check this?
Want to beef up the gates? Make them stronger? Not a good choice!!!!!!!!!

The gates are mounted in a control housing that is containing controls and switches and wiring, lots of money there folks.
Yes, you could beef up, strengthen the gate arms and then they would take the impact, and then,,,,,,,,,,, transfer the impact forces to torque and simply destroy the very expensive housing and controls, not a good choice, a stick of gate is much cheaper to replace.
