:
The following provisions shall apply to Class I, Class II and Class
III vehicular horizontal slide gates:
Exposed Rollers
All weight bearing exposed rollers 8 feet (2.44 m), or less, above
grade shall be guarded or covered
Guarding or Screening Gate Openings
All openings shall be designed, guarded, or screened from
the bottom of the gate to the top of the gate or a minimum
of 72 inch (1.83 m) above grade, whichever is less, to prevent
a 2 1/4 inch (57 mm) diameter sphere from passing through
the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the
adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position. The
gate panel shall include the entire section of the moving gate,
including any back frame or counterbalance portion of the gate.
Gaps Between Gate Frames and Other Objects
A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to the roadway,
between a fixed stationary object nearest the roadway (such
as a gate support post) and the gate frame when the gate is
in either the fully open position or the fully closed position,
shall not exceed 2 1/4 inch (57 mm). Exception: All other fixed
stationary objects greater than 16 inch (406 mm) from the gate
frame shall not be required to comply with this section.
Class I, Class II and Class III Gate Stops
Positive stops shall be required to limit travel to the designed
fully open and fully closed positions. These stops shall be
installed at either the top of the gate, or at the bottom of the
gate where such stops shall horizontally or vertically project
no more than is required to perform their intended function.
Gate Lateral Stability
All gates shall be designed with sufficient lateral stability to
assure that the gate will enter a receiver guide. Consult ASTM
F2200 for details on various gate panel types.
