Safety Gate

Installing a Security Safety Gate dramatically increases worker safety and reduces maintenance costs! Over 15% of all labour accidents in Europe* are directly caused by people falling off a platform or ladder. (*based on figures by Eurostat)

The gate is available in two different styles. The newer double bar safety gate has been specifically designed to exceed all existing safety requirements as well as the proposed changes to certain regulations. Use it with complete confidence. For those who do not require the complete protection of the double bar gate, the more economical single bar gate can be ordered. Its proven design has been successfully used by many companies over the past 17 years.

The safety gate has been developed as a fall protection for ladder way openings and platforms. It prevents people to walk directly into the opening. It is a self closing gate, moulded completely from, Polyurethane and does not operate by means of springs, bearings or electrical parts, ensuring a long working life. Available in 4 standard lengths and two swing directions (Left and Right), the gate guarantees the full safety for people working on platforms.

Automatically Gravity Closing Design
The gate has a horizontal swing not a vertical drop. The design replies solely on gravity, It does not depend on springs, cams, bearings or the operator. When opened, the hinge design causes the blade to travel slightly upward. When the opening force is released, the blade is pulled downward by gravity and swings back to the closed position.

Strong Rigid Construction
The hinge, blade, pin, block and washer are moulded from ISP polyurethane. The polymer is coloured throughout with high viability safety yellow. Galvanised nuts and blots are included for mounting to angle iron handrail. Tests have been run on both design to insure that the gate can withstand a load of 100kg on the top rail and 75kg on the mid rail.

Excellent Outdoors Weather Ability & Chemical Resistance
ISP polyurethane is relatively unaffected by sunlight and atmospheric corrosion. Due to its chemical matrix, the material will discolour but not degrade. After 9 months exposure in very hot climates, there was no loss of tensile strength. ISP polyurethane parts have successfully performed in hostile chemical plant service for 20 years. The Security gate has excellent resistance to most chemicals. Chemical resistance is however dependant on different factors such as concentration, temperature and purity etc.

Easy Installation
The gate comes pre-assembled. Locating just 4 holes (2 for the hinge and 2 for the support block) in the guard-rail posts allows the gate to be quickly and easily installed and cut to the right size if necessary.

Low Maintenance & Long Service Life
The polyurethane will not corrode or degrade. There is nothing to wear out, replace, lubricate or paint. Should dust and dirt ever accumulate enough to reduce or impede the gate's closing action, a simple cleaning procedure can be followed. Removal of the top cover plate, which holds the hinge pin in place, will allow cleaning the build-up from the pin and blade. The gate will continue to perform year after year.
