The G-series safety gate from FabEnCo by Tractel is tested to meet OSHA requirements. It can quickly and easily be installed to add self-closing fall protection to any handrail or wall.

The G-Series self-closing safety gate from FabEnCo by Tractel is ideal for fall protection, machine guarding, access control, pedestrian traffic management, and security.

The most common application for FabEnCo self-closing safety gates is fall protection on an elevated work platform with an unprotected opening, such as a ladderway or stair opening, as required by OSHA regulations under 29 §CFR 1910.23 - Guarding Floor and Wall Openings and Holes.

FabEnCo’s standard safety gate models are tested to meet and exceed OSHA’s 200 pounds top rail pressure requirement. OSHA-compliant swing gates reduce the risk of falls and fall-related injuries in elevated areas, stairways, and loading docks.

  • Easy to install - Installs in minutes without cutting, welding, or drilling
  • Universal attachment - Mounts left or right on various railing sizes and shapes, including angle, flatbar, pipe handrails, or to existing walls.
  • 6 inch lateral adjustment - Provides extra flexibility for fitting unprotected openings.
  • Variety of finishes - Available in galvanized or safety yellow powder coated
  • Stainless steel springs - Custom-made stainless steel spring automatically close the gate after each passage
  • No pinch point - Adjustment bolts provide a positive stop near the gate hinge without handrail contact. Clear opening widths allow for a 1 to 3 inch gap between the gate and opposite handrail.

All gates are furnished with sealed, welded endcaps.

Scratch & corrosion-resistant coatings

This series of FabEnCo Safety Gates is available in carbon steel and stainless steel for special applications and environments. FabEnCoat finishes include galvanized and environmentally-friendly safety yellow powder coated options. Requires a striking post to close.

Determining the proper gate size for your application only requires the measurement of the inside clear opening.

A36 galvanized carbon steel

The hot-dipped galvanizing process creates a corrosion resistant-surface with protection that becomes part of the metal. A scratch will be thoroughly protected by the zinc within the metal.
