Why install a swing gate?
When lifting equipment onto your roof with a forklift or jib crane, there are several ways to ensure safe operations. Installing a guardrail with an integrated opening mechanism is crucial for worker safety.
The swing gate provides a temporary opening to move materials onto the roof or mezzanine while giving the worker on the roof a secure place to stand. The fully self-supporting system includes a 5-foot wide safety area, allowing for clear visibility of the operation and communication with the ground crew.
Additionally, the pivoting barrier can be used to divide work zones on the roof or when larger access is needed to a specific roof section.
Where to install a swing gate?
A pivoting barrier can be mounted on any flat roof requiring periodic maintenance. If your building is equipped with a jib crane, the installation of a swing gate should be considered.
The swing gate can be installed without drilling on flat-roofed buildings, provided there is enough space around the perimeter for its support posts. It can function independently or be integrated with a full guardrail system.
Some features of the swing gate
Locking mechanism
When not actively in use, the swing gate must be secured using the designated locking pin. Compliance with building code standards is ensured only when the pin is properly engaged.
Unloading Zone
The loading zone, measuring 10 feet wide by 5 feet deep, is designed to accommodate bulk materials or pallets. It is crucial to avoid standing in the loading area while the gate is open. After the gate is closed, employees can safely access the materials. When closed, the gate complies with the guardrail standards outlined in the National Building Code.
National Building Code Compliant
When closed, the swing gate complies with the load requirements outlined in Article 4.1.5.14 of the National Building Code for permanent guardrails. The two adjacent guardrails are also designed to meet these standards.
