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: 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).
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)
Gates shall be designed, constructed and
installed to not fall over more than 45
degrees from the vertical plane, when a gate
is detatched from the supporting hardware.
