Overview
Intrepid UDG-22 gravity-closing safety gates provide reliable, maintenance-free fall protection for industrial and commercial applications. The Universal Double Bar Gate (UDG) acts as a barrier and prevents falls by protecting employees from vulnerable openings at the tops of vertical ladders and elevated platforms. This box includes 2 units of the UDG-22 model, ideal for securing multiple access points or providing redundancy in critical safety installations.
Key Features
- Springless design uses a gravity-driven horizontal swing mechanism, ensuring consistent closure without wear and maintenance issues of spring-loaded designs
- Reversible hinge design allows for left or right swinging for flexible installation configurations
- Manufactured using UV-resistant polyurethane and is ATEX Rated and TÃœV Certified
- Proven design successfully used for over 30 years; withstands impacts and weather with strong, rigid polyurethane and galvanized hardware
- Double-bar configuration provides added structural reinforcement and impact resistance
Technical Specifications
- Gate size: 22 inches (560 mm)
- Designed to withstand at least 400 lb impact and extreme (-51°F) temperatures
- Corrosion-resistant composite material suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments
- No springs, cams, bearings, or operator-dependent components
- Meets and exceeds OSHA 1910.29 (Walking Working Surfaces Standard), EN ISO 14122, and ABS Standard 201 Section 4.8
- Horizontal swing mechanism (not vertical drop)
- Quantity: 2 units per box
Typical Applications
Safety gates are frequently used in refineries, catwalks, and elevated platforms where fall protection and secure access matter most. Additional applications include machinery guarding, stairwell protection, and access control at industrial sites. Unlike chains or manual barriers, a self-closing swing gate provides continuous protection without relying on human behavior.
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
