In industrial environments, safety is non-negotiable. Whether you’re working on elevated platforms, ladders, walkways, or mezzanines, the risk of falls is always present. A self-closing safety gate plays a critical role in preventing such accidents, automatically closing behind workers to eliminate exposure to unprotected openings.
Unlike chains or manual barriers, a self-closing swing gate provides continuous protection without relying on human behavior. PreventDrops’ self-closing safety gate is gravity-operated – meaning no springs, cams, or dampers are involved – making it highly reliable, low-maintenance, and corrosion-resistant, even in harsh environments.
The self-closing double bar safety gate is designed to prevent falls from height at ladder openings, working platforms or pedestrian areas. The safety gates exceed the EU ISO 14122-3 standard requirements and is TÜV tested. The self-closing gate uses gravity to close, therefore it does not depend on springs, dampers, cams or operators. It is easy to install with the same hinge for left or right. Corrosion resistant and maintenance free. Confirms to OSHA requirements.
Benefits
At PreventDrops, we keep it simple. Instead of offering multiple gate types or materials, we’ve engineered one high-performance gravity self-closing gate that works across a wide range of applications. The gate is made from a single, robust composite material that is built to last in outdoor, high-traffic, or corrosive environments.
This gravity-closing design requires no external power, springs, or operators – reducing the risk of mechanical failure and ensuring long-term performance.
Ideal for:
Our gates are designed and tested to meet or exceed the most stringent international standards:
EN ISO 14122-3 – Safety requirements for permanent means of access to machinery
OSHA 1910.29 – Guardrail systems and fall protection
ANSI A1264.1 – Walking-working surfaces and fall prevention
This ensures your site remains both legally compliant and genuinely safe.
