Safety Devices
Gate safety devices are safety mechanisms designed to prevent accidents and injuries involving gates. Some common gate safety devices include:
1. Gate sensors: These devices use infrared or motion detection technology to sense when an object or person is in the path of the gate, causing it to stop or reverse direction to prevent crushing injuries.
2. Gate edge sensors: These sensors are installed along the edges of the gate and detect any obstructions, triggering the gate to stop and reverse if necessary.
3. Photoelectric beams: These beams create an invisible barrier across the gate opening, and if broken by an object or person, will stop the gate from closing until the obstruction is removed.
4. Safety loops: These are embedded in the ground near the gate and sense the presence of vehicles or obstacles, causing the gate to remain open until the area is clear.
5. Emergency stop buttons: These manual controls allow users to instantly stop the gates movement in case of an emergency or when an obstruction is detected.
By incorporating these gate safety devices, property owners can help prevent accidents and injuries while ensuring the safe operation of their gates.
