GraviGate™

For almost two decades, Composite Resources has designed, engineered, developed and manufactured custom and stock components and products fabricated from composites for a wide range of industrial applications. One of these "off the shelf" products constructed of composites is the GraviGate™, a safety gate constructed of strong reinforced fiberglass. GraviGate™ safety gates are designed and produced to meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard 1910.23a.

GraviGate™ safety gates were developed to help prevent falls at floor openings, stairways, and ladder ways. Constructed and manufactured using corrosion proof hardware and composite tubing, GraviGate™ safety gates are available in both standard and custom sizes. Features of GraviGate™ safety gates include:

• Self Lubricating
• Corrosion Resistant - constructed of composite and stainless steel components
• Self Closing - featuring springless – and silent - return design; no messy lubricants or springs required
• Safety Yellow in color
• Maintenance Free
• Rugged – can be used in harsh and corrosive indoor and outdoor environments
• Easy Installation
• Long Lasting
• Standard Gravi-T® Hinges are thermally and electrically insulated to prevent and guard against burns and electrical shocks

GraviGate™ safety closure systems are available in a wide range of standard sizes, such as (all dimensions are in inches):

16 x 16 21 x 21 27 x 27 33 x 33

18 x 18 24 x 24 30 x 30 36 x 36

All GraviGate™ safety gates are offered in either right-hand or left-hand swing out configurations, and are available with round bar or angle bar adapters. A stainless steel catch stop plate accessory is also available if you would like the gate to swing in one direction only.

Standard size GraviGate™ gates are in stock and can be shipped in 1 to 2 days. In addition, Composite Resources has the capability to produce GraviGate™ gates in custom sizes to fit your unique size requirements. When determining if a standard or custom GraviGate™ is needed, subtract 2 inches from the opening width – this will give you the gate size required.

Agriculture Transportation – Railroad, Trucking Marine Food Processing Mining Equipment Wood – Timber Handling Oil and Gas Refineries

Water and Wastewater Treatment Power Generation – Hydro, Fossil Fuel and Nuclear Chemical Manufacturing Pulp and Paper Steel – Steel Handling Recreation – Amusement Parks Off Road Equipment
