What are some of the specific requirements for the construction and installation of horizontal slide gates?
The following is a list of specific considerations when a sliding gate is to be used: • A sliding gate should work smoothly with easy rolling/movement in both directions, prior to the installation of the operator. • Guarding of exposed rollers up to a height of 8 feet above the ground is required. • Horizontal slide gates often require hardware, such as bolts, which extend through the leading and trailing edges of the gate. These are not considered protrusions as long as they do not exceed ½ inch and have smooth surfaces free of any sharp cutting edges. • Guide wheels for horizontal slide roll gates are not considered protrusions. The guide wheels are considered required hardware. However, all V-grooved rollers must be guarded as noted above. • Positive stops that may be required on a horizontal slide gate are not considered protrusions; however, positive stops should be installed at the top of the gate whenever possible. • Since slide gates result in two vertical planes passing by eac
