SAFETY IN GATE DESIGN
• A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is
important that you locate the gate far enough
away from the road to eliminate the potential
of traffic getting backed up. This distance is
affected by the size of the gate, how often it is
used, and how fast the gate operates.
• The operator you choose to install on your
gate must be designed for the type and size of
your gate and for the frequency with which you
use the operator.
• Your gate must be properly installed and must
work freely in both directions before the
automatic operator is installed.
• An automatic operator should be installed on
the inside of the property/fence line. Do not
install the operator on the public side of the
property/fence line.
• Outward swinging gates with automatic
operators should not open into a public area.
• Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate
system. Prevent such inappropriate use by
installing separate gates for pedestrians.
• The operating controls for an automatic gate
must be secured to prevent the unauthorized
use of those controls.
• The controls for an automatic gate should be
located far enough from the gate so that a
user cannot accidentally touch the gate when
operating the controls.
• Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated
or guarded.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a
damaged gate by over tightening a clutch or
increasing hydraulic pressure.
• An automatic gate operator should not be
installed on a gate if people can reach or
extend their arms or legs through the gate.
Such gates should be guarded or screened to
prevent such access.
