To view a more detailed description please open this website on desktopBelow you'll find some handy answers to Frequently-Asked Questions relating to this product.
Answer:
Floor fixing bolts are not included with the gate as floor material and thickness vary greatly. The base feet have 14 mm dia holes. You will need M12 bolt sets for wood or steel floors. For concrete floors, anchor bolts should be used. Thin wooden floors may need extra large washers underneath to relieve stress around the hole. Check the number of bolts required in the pdf layout which can be downloaded on the product page.
If the underside of a wooden floor is blocked off, you may have to use coach bolts or rubber nuts for better grip. The rubber nut for an M12 bolt will require an M24 hole. The nut is a synthetic rubber sleeve with a flange head and a threaded brass insert at the opposite end. Used in hollow base materials where the anchor can expand in the cavity.
Answer:
Generally, it takes about two hours for two semi-skilled operatives to install a pallet gate on a mezzanine floor. If an existing handrail has to be removed it may take longer.
A risk assessment should be carried out prior to installation to include fall protection. Drilling into the floor (Concrete) or through the floor, which will require safe access to the underside of the floor to fit nuts and washers to fixing bolts. No welding is required.
If you have to make a gap it should be no more than 160 mm (80 mm per side) wider than the overall width of the chosen gate. You can download a pdf layout showing the dimensions on the product page.

Even if you have installed a swing gate, sliding (trombone) gate, removable bars or chains, they are still dangerous to operate.
These can often be left open and are accidents waiting to happen! Even safety harnesses don't solve the problem as they only protect the wearer if they remember to put it on!
' You will need to provide a double barriers system that maintains a continuous barrier between people and the platform edge. Thereby, preventing anyone from falling through the opening'.
