Common questions
Gates are designed to OSHA 1910.23(a)(2) and ANSI A1264.1 for self-closing, positive-latching fall protection, and ship with the same order-level DoC as the ladder.
Gates are quoted per opening - a modest add-on that usually removes the need for a separate access door - and it is included in the 24-hour quote.
Q235B with HDG 85-100 µm is standard; SS304/SS316, pickled and passivated, suits washdown, food or coastal sites - choose the grade that matches your ladder.
Yes - gates fit the top exit or landing of caged and uncaged ladders, ship on the same 15-25 working day lead time, and are pre-assembled and tested for self-closing.
Left- or right-hand and in- or out-swing are fixed at order; the spring return closes and latches the gate automatically from any open position.

Swing Gates — Self-Closing, Built to Your Opening
Where a ladder meets a landing or platform opening, the opening needs a gate that closes itself — so nobody steps into the void. That is the swing gate's only job, and it must do it every time.
Standard Gate Specifications
| Parameter | Standard value |
|---|---|
| Operation | Self-closing (spring return, gravity, or counterweight) |
| Opening width | Built to opening — standard 600–900 mm |
| Gate height | Matches guardrail — standard 1100 mm (42″+) |
| Frame | 40 × 40 × 3 mm tube or equivalent section |
| Material | Q235B HDG 85–100 µm / SS304 / SS316 |
| Closing hardware | Spring hinge or self-closing pivot, corrosion resistant |
| Latching | Automatic latch; padlock hasp option for security |
| Compliance | OSHA 1910.23(a)(2) / ANSI A1264.1 |
Sizing & Fit Checklist
| Check | Detail |
|---|---|
| Measure the opening | Width between posts and height to top rail |
| Swing direction | Gate swings away from the opening, into the platform |
| Self-close test | Gate returns and latches from any open position |
| Kick / toe clearance | Max gap under gate ≈150 mm per site rules |
| Order with ladder | Same factory — one fit, one finish, one quote |
Order swing gates with your ladder and they are welded to the same rail geometry — no field shimming. Retrofits are equally simple: give us the opening width, height, and swing direction, and we ship a gate that bolts in and closes itself.
