Electric Gate Safety

Electric gate safety is one of the biggest reasons to have your automated gates installed by a professional installer like Climate Autogates because of the sheer experience and knowledge that we have around minimising risk. Being a CAMESAFE Installer (ID #2445), having years of specialisation in gate automisation as well as passing stringent manufacturer installation standards means that Climate Autogates will offer you peace of mind well after we have delivered your safety certificate and left your premises.

Safety is always our number on priority when designing the installation and the consistent end usage of our gates. A thorough risk assessment is carried out which takes into account:

  • Current Health & Safety Regulations, Requirements & Recommendations
  • The Location, Site Environment and the Expected Usage of The Gates
  • The type of Gate, Barrier or Bollard proposed to suit the installation.
  • Risks which could be attributed to both users and passers-by

In addition to the above, every one of our installations conforms to the Door and Hardware Federation Gate Safety Guide. Download a copy of this for yourself or read more about how choosing Climate Autogates for your automated gate installation ensures that you are putting safety first.
