Note: A filler post or barrier may need
to be installed in the gap area to
reduce the distance to 2 1/4 inches or
less. A contact sensor should be
installed in this area for safety.
(See on next page).
Slide Gate Requirements
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that
persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
(ref. UL 325 56.8.4.b)
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or
screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum
of six (6) feet (1.83 m) above the ground to prevent
a 2 1/4 inch (57.2 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.
(ref. ASTM F2200-11a, 6.1.2)
Note: Install
screened wire
mesh to an
existing
non-compliant
gate and the
adjacent fence
that covers
open gate
position
(See above).
A gap, measured in the horizontal
plane parallel to the roadway, between
a fixed stationary object nearest the
roadway (such as a gate support post)
and the gate frame when the gate is in
either the fully open position or the
fully closed position, shall not exceed
2 1/4 inch (57.2 mm).
(ref. ASTM F2200 6.1.4)
