gate automation accessories |
|---|
|
A number of these useful accessories can increase the safety and effectiveness of your automatic gates. |
|
Current Government Health and Safety Notices state that additional safety protection equipment should be fitted to prevent trapping and crushing of persons by electrically powered gates (Subject to a Site Risk Assessment). |

Safety pressure strip |
 |
For all powered gates, we recommend fitting of safety pressure strips (wired or wireless) to critical areas to automatically reverse the gate motor should an obstruction be detected. |
Second set of safety photocells |
 |
For swing gates, we advise fitting a second set of photocells to prevent the gates closing on a vehicle which stops within the closing area of the gate, but not between the primary set of photocells normally fitted to the posts. The second set of photocells are usually mounted on 'mini' posts at the outer limit of the swing gate opening area. |
Extra remote transmitters |
 |
Extra hand remote transmitters can be supplied for other family or community members. |
Automatic electric lock |
 |
A fully automatic locking bolt gives greater security and is recommended for all swing gates over 3m wide. |
Vehicle exit loop detector |
 |
A detector connected to a wire coil in the road surface produces a magnetic field to sense the presence of vehicles. This may be used to cause swing or sliding gates to open, or prevent the gates from closing onto a detected vehicle. |
Stops pack |
 |
Stops in the driveway are a must for all automatic swing gates. This pack contains one centre stop and two open stops. |
