Railsafe Safety Gate 703mm x 1026mm (w/Anti Luce)

RailSafe Safety Gate (w/Anti Luce)

The RailSafe Safety Gate is a component of the RailSafe Barrier System – a temporary and reusable barrier system designed to help prevent falls from height.

The RailSafe Safety Gate is constructed from 40mm² square steel tube, with a 200mm² square steel base plate with 12 fixing points which enables the gate assembly to be screw fixed to the floor. An integral steel gate is attached to the post via a hinge which allows the gate to open and close. Anti-luce fittings for attaching the telescopic handrails to the safety gate post are situated at the top and mid height positions, on one face of the post. A Standard RailSafe Safety Post should be installed on the opposite side of the gate, this acts as a ‘stop’ for the gate in the closed position, as well as providing a fixing point for further handrails to be installed to continue the run.

For further information on installation of the RailSafe System see our installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.

RailSafe System – Overview

The RailSafe system is primarily comprised of a range of metal posts and telescopic metal handrails. The system also includes a Ladder Gate which creates a ladder access point, as well as components which allow the telescopic metal handrails to be fixed directly to newel posts – such as in a kite winder staircase application.

RailSafe - Components

The RailSafe System is configured from the items in the component list below and can be combined into numerous configurations to suit a number of applications.

• RailSafe Safety Post Standard (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Safety Post Corner (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Stringer Post (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Safety Double Cleat (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail C/w Fixing Plates (200 - 365mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (425 - 630mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (1050 - 1600mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (1875 - 2500mm)
• RailSafe Safety Gate (w/Anti Luce)

RailSafe – Testing

The RailSafe standard and corner posts, 3x telescopic handrails 425 – 2500mm, and the safety gate have undergone testing and passed to the following standard:

• Assessed by calculation, and by physical testing by an independent testing house, against the requirements of BS EN 13374:2013 (Class A).
• Certified by an independent structural engineer that these RailSafe components when used as a system, meet the requirements of the above standard.
• This is applicable when fixed into 22mm flooring grade chipboard using all fixing holes.
• This is also applicable when fixed into a concrete floor slab using all fixing holes – for additional information on fixing to concrete floors see installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.
• When fixing to other substrates the end user is responsible for the adequacy of the fixings.

Note: Stringer post, Double Cleat and Telescopic Handrail C/w Fixing Plates (200 - 365mm) have not been tested to the above standard, testing currently underway.

RailSafe – In conjunction with Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System

When appropriate, RailSafe can be used in conjunction with the Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System to form a reusable safety system for securing open stairwells, whilst still allowing for controlled access for personnel and materials.
