EdgeGard Folding Dock Gate
A counterbalanced dock-edge gate whose rail folds as it lifts, so it covers a 10 ft or 12 ft opening without needing the overhead clearance a straight gate does. Closed, it puts a 42″ top rail across an open dock door or truck pit and is rated by its maker for 200 lbs of top-rail pressure; raised, it clears the opening completely. Gas cylinders take the weight, and it can be set up to open either way.

Order by the clear opening. Raised, the 10 ft gate needs 104″ of headroom and the 12 ft needs 116″, the main reason to choose folding over straight. Other sizes on request.

An all-welded steel gate that pivots across the dock opening when no trailer is docked, standing 42″ high so it reads as a barrier rather than a trip rail. It mounts over a 6″ × 42″ bollard, which means the bollard takes any impact instead of the gate hinge. Supplied in 5 ft to 14 ft widths in 1 ft increments, single or paired for wide openings.
- Height: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)
- Widths: 5 ft to 14 ft in 1 ft increments
- Construction: All-welded steel
- Mounting: Over a 6″ × 42″ bollard
The heaviest barrier in the dock range, rated by the manufacturer at 30,000 lbs at 4 mph — an order of magnitude above interior guardrail, because a loaded truck reversing at a dock edge carries far more energy than an aisle strike. Built on 5″ steel posts with 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates and 1″ pins, with a sliding locking plate and no pinch points. Clearances of 8, 10 and 12 ft.
- Impact rating: 30,000 lbs at 4 mph (manufacturer-stated)
- Height: 42″
- Posts: 5″ steel on 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates
- Clearances: 8 ft · 10 ft · 12 ft
A vertical-lift barrier that rises straight up rather than swinging, for openings where there is no floor space for a gate arc. Air assist takes the weight so it can be raised one-handed, and aluminium rails keep the moving section light while the carbon steel posts carry the load. The 42″ top rail meets OSHA guardrail height when lowered.
- Action: Vertical lift, air-assisted
- Posts: Carbon steel, 4.5″ × 2″
- Rails: Aluminium, 1.5″
- Top rail: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)
