Dock & Door Safety

EdgeGard Straight Dock Gate

A counterbalanced straight rail that lifts up out of the way of a standard dock door and drops back down to close it off. Closed, the top rail sits 42″ off the floor and its maker rates it for 200 lbs of top-rail pressure. It comes in 8 ft and 10 ft clear widths. Because the rail lifts straight up, check the headroom: the 10 ft gate needs about 167″ when raised.

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)
