What are the different types of safety guard gates?

The different types of safety guard gates include:

  • Swing Gates – Hinged gates that open like a door, commonly used for access control.
  • Sliding Gates – Move horizontally along a track, ideal for limited space areas.
  • Interlocked Gates – Equipped with safety interlocks to stop machinery when opened.
  • Lift Gates – Gates that lift vertically to provide access, often for conveyor systems.
  • Folding Gates – Accordion-style gates that fold to save space.
  • Automatic Gates – Motorized gates for controlled, hands-free access.
  • Manual Gates – Simple, operator-controlled gates without automation.

Each type serves specific needs depending on space constraints, safety requirements, and operational efficiency.
