The Universal Double-Bar Safety Gates (UDG) are polyurethane, self-closing safety gates. These industrial safety gates are used to prevent falls and protect employees from vulnerable openings at the tops of vertical ladders and elevated platforms. The self-closing swing gate meets and exceeds all fall protection standards, including US OSHA 1910.29 (Walking-Working Surfaces Standard), EN ISO 14122, and ABS Standard 201 Section 4.8.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF UDG-37
Universal Double Bar Safety Gate
RIGHT HAND SWING INSTALLATION on Angle Iron Guardrail
NOTE: Only one Hinge and one Block are required for the UDG self-clsoing safety gate.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS WHEN GATE IS IN A TIGHT AREA
When the safety gate is to be mounted in a tight space, such as a corner or a narrow catwalk area, the designer must be aware of both the rise and the kick-out caused by the swing rotation of the self-closing swing gate. This is depicted in the below drawings.
Please allow for as much room as possible so that the gate can swing fully open. However if space is tight, then try to provide at least a 4″ – 6″ corner so that the gate can swing open as much as 75° – 90°.
HINGE
For industrial safety gate installation, mount the hinge as close as possible to the top of guardrail. Ideally, the top bolt hole should be located 1” down from the top rail, but this may need to be adjusted depending upon the guardrail members. Typical measurements are shown in drawing below.
Position two 9/16” holes on 6 1/4” centers for two 1/2” carriage bolts (4” top and 5” bottom). Holes should be positioned to allow clearance for tightening 1/2″ nuts.
Carriage bolts should be torqued to 60 ft lbs.
SUPPORT BLOCK **INSTALLATION NON-OPTIONAL!**
Mount the block so that it is positioned at least 1” BELOW the closed bar. Allow clearance for tightening the 1/2” nut.
Position one 9/16” hole for mounting the block with the 1/2” x 4” carriage bolt. If unable to get the nut onto the carriage bolt, be sure to properly seat the carriage bolt into the block.
Block should not interfere with the opening or closing of the industrial swing gate. It is intended to provide vertical support in an emergency. The block should be located at least 5″ below where the top of the hinge is positioned.
— For adequate safety, ensure that the safety gate is no more than 42” above the platform surface to avoid too large of an opening below the swing gate
— The double bar safety gate is long enough to contact, and extend past, opposite side guardrail posts by 1” or more
— The block is provided to resist vertical deflection. The block SHOULD NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE SAFETY GATE OR INTERFERE WITH IT SWINGING CLOSED

No, the gate opens in a horizontal swing direction. When closed, it rests against the vertical guardrail post opposite the one to which the hinge is attached.
No, our design is a self-closing gate that relies solely on gravity to bring it closed. Due to the angles built into the hinge, the gate rises as it is pushed open and when released, gravity returns it to the closed position.
Gates are available in four standard lengths or sizes — 22″, 27″, 32″, and 37″.
Measure the opening between the guardrails. The gate size should be equal to or greater than the opening. This will insure that when the gate is closed, it will contact the vertical post of the opposite guardrail. Thus if the opening is 25″, a 27″ gate would be needed.

Not at all. When you order a gate from Intrepid, the hinge, block, and all galvanized hardware are included as shown in our details.
The universal hinge allows for both right and left hand orientation without the need for two separate hinges, as did our previous SG & DG models. You will get the opposite orientation just by flipping the hinge 180°.
Yes. Since the gate is molded of a solid material, it is very easy to saw off or trim the length to avoid obstructions. However, you still must leave 2″-3″ of material to strike and extend past the opposite post.
Because of its gravity-closing action, the gate travels outward as well as slightly upward. When the UDG-37 is in its full open position of 112°, the gate will rise as much as 14″ above its closed position.
Yes. We offer a HoldTight Magnet Closure Kit for securing the gate and keeping it from being blown open.
The longest gate that we currently make will cover an opening up to 37″. If you have pipe or square tube guardrail and do not use one of our kits, then you may only be able to span an opening of 32″ (See #12). The gate can be ordered in four standard sizes — 22″, 27″, 32″, and 37″.
No, not really. This question usually comes from someone who needs a barrier at the mezzanine/storage area opening through which they can load palletized product. There are a number of other manufacturers who produce these types of moveable barriers. You can find them by searching for “mezzanine gates.”
The gates are designed in this fashion to indicate the maximum opening that they will cover. The actual length of the gate measures somewhat more than these designations. The length of the gate must include the maximum opening plus the extra 2″-3″ of overlap on the opposite vertical post.
Yes, although the safety yellow color is normally acceptable for most purposes. The color is molded throughout the parts, so they should never need painting. However, if desired, the gate surfaces can be wiped clean and painted.
The only effect on the polyurethane material will be some surface discoloration to an amber shade. Aside from the surface effect, the rest of the material does not lose any of its original strength or material properties when exposed to UV light.
