DASMA SAFETY GUIDE

SLIDE GATE REQUIREMENTS

Only install the operator on gates used for vehicular traffic. Be sure to direct pedestrians to a separate entry and exit.
Refer to the illustrations. The gate site must be designed so that persons do not come in contact with the vehicular
gate while it is moving. Signs must be posted to warn pedestrians to stay clear of the gate’s entire travel path.
A separate pedestrian entry/exit must be clearly visible and promote pedestrian usage.

All openings of a horizontal slide gate are Closed Gate
guarded or screened from the bottom of the
gate to a minimum of 6 ft (1.8 m) above the ground
to prevent a 2¼ inch (57 mm) diameter sphere from
passing through the openings anywhere in the gate
and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the
gate covers in the open position.

COMPLIANT OPENINGS

Gap (X X X) between vertical bars must SCREENED WIRE MESH
be less than 2¼ inches (57 mm) up to a
height of 6 ft (1.8 m) above grade. In the illustration to the right,
the gap between vertical bars
is non-compliant. It poses a
safety hazard if it is wider than
2¼ inches (57 mm).
A screened wire mesh has been
added to comply with ASTM
F2200 gate standards.
