Industrial Gate Design
Types of Gates and Materials
Designing an industrial gate usually means you’re looking to upgrade your facility’s safety and security measures. There are many designs to choose from, depending on the gate function and location. Having an industrial gate designed by a professional means more customizable features you wouldn’t normally get. Here are a few options.
Industrial Gate for Safety
Working in a warehouse or other industrial facility requires caution around every corner. Help keep employees safe by installing a gate in areas with heavy machinery and high scaffolding. Here are a few gate options to consider for these areas.
- Self-Closing Gates. Designed to fit between unprotected openings of ladders, platforms, and stairs to prevent falls. Install a gate that requires a code to guard materials, control access, and limit pedestrian traffic.
- Industrial Swing Gates and Mezzanine Gates. Another option for fall protection.
- Loading Dock Gate. Trucks pull in and out of loading docks to pick up or drop off a variety of materials. Keep this area secure with vertical lift gates. Install a gate along any loading platforms to prevent falls.
- Vertical Lift Safety Gate. Designed for areas without adequate swing clearance, including staircases, ladders, and platform openings.
- Dual Vertical Lift Loading Dock Gate. For areas with wider dock space, a dual gate helps cover more area while maintaining a height clearance.
- Extended Coverage. Bolt additional materials to existing gates to help extend the reach and safety features when needed.
Industrial Safety Gate Materials
In order to be safe, industrial gates must be made from durable materials, like aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Depending on where the gate is located, a variety of finishes are available to help the gates stand out or blend in. Gates are also customizable to fit your facility’s layout.
