About this Section:
Some things to consider with a gate:

All gates require some manual assisting to lift or lower the gate. Gates are best suited for moderate to low pass-through traffic. Alternatives such as a cross-over stairway should be considered if it is a high traffic area.
When a gate is open, product flow is hindered. Consider what effect this has on any upstream processes or if additional electrical controls are needed to control the product flow.
Consider what happens if product is resting on the gate when someone wants to open it. This is a major concern if the gate creates passage to an emergency exit.
