Description
Controlled access for pedestrians, MHE and small vehicles
The Transit Gate provides controlled access through barrier systems and perimeter lines where pedestrians, MHE and small vehicles need to pass through a defined opening safely and securely. Where the Pedestrian Safety Gate suits standard pedestrian access points, the Transit Gate covers a significantly wider range of applications. Single gate configurations suit pedestrian and MHE access from 800mm upwards. Double gate configurations extend to 5000mm, accommodating pallet truck traffic, small vehicles and wider operational access points. That range of width sets it apart.
This makes the Transit Gate a versatile specification across warehouses, distribution centres, industrial facilities and commercial properties where a standard pedestrian gate would not provide sufficient width or security.
Mild steel construction with finish options
The Transit Gate uses mild steel construction, providing strength and durability for demanding industrial and commercial use. A stainless steel option is also available for environments requiring additional corrosion resistance or a specific aesthetic finish.
Three finish options are available: galvanised, powder coated or a combination of both. The galvanised finish suits external and high-moisture environments where long-term corrosion resistance is the priority. Powder coating suits internal applications and opens access to the full RAL colour palette for both posts and gates. This allows the gate to integrate into existing site aesthetics or align with site safety colour coding and branding requirements. Both finishes are available together for maximum protection and visual flexibility.
Locking mechanisms and security
The Transit Gate offers three locking mechanism options. A clasp provides simple, fast closure for standard access control. A dropbolt provides additional security for access points requiring a more positive lock. A padlock option suits access points where keyed security is required. All three keep the gate closed between uses, maintaining the integrity of the barrier or perimeter line at every access point.
Dimensions, configuration and installation
The gate stands at a standard height of 1100mm. Customisation is available on request to meet site-specific requirements. Single gate widths start from 800mm. Double gate configurations extend to 5000mm, covering the full range of access point sizes from standard pedestrian routes to wider MHE and small vehicle openings.
Posts anchor to the floor using 4x M10 x 105mm Safety Plus Anchors per post. The gate suits ambient, chilled and freezer environments, making it compatible with the full range of environments where Brandsafe barrier systems operate.
Where the Transit Gate is specified
The Transit Gate suits any location where controlled access through a barrier run or perimeter line is required for pedestrians, MHE or small vehicles. Typical applications include warehouse and distribution centre access points, loading bay entrances, equipment and machinery enclosures and secure storage areas. It also suits any location where a standard pedestrian gate would not provide sufficient width or security. Its wide range of widths, locking options and finish configurations makes it a practical specification for both new installations and integration into existing barrier and perimeter systems.
Supporting compliance and duty of care
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must keep traffic routes and access points clearly defined and safe for both pedestrians and vehicles. Where barrier systems define those routes, access points must maintain the same level of control and protection as the barrier run itself. An uncontrolled or unsecured access point undermines the compliance case for the surrounding system. That gap is avoidable.
The Transit Gate provides a controlled, lockable access point that maintains the integrity of the barrier or perimeter line at every crossing point. For H&S managers, facilities teams and specifiers, installing controlled access gates at barrier access points demonstrates a proactive and complete approach to site safety. It also supports the requirement to manage foreseeable risks to a practicable minimum. The result is clearer routes, more controlled access and a safer operational environment across the site.
