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)
