norman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I read it as it ran out of the tracks due to no stops. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s right, but says the company checked all their other installations and found no faults on any? Covering up or just a one off? 35 minutes ago, datadiffusion said: Some of the worst firms round here are the ones that 'specialise' in gates'... Let them get on with it, not worth messing with imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Quite, just that Joe Public presumes a specialist is just that, sadly Of course money comes into it and said specialist is simply quoting at the lower price they know will be accepted by leaving out pesky safety extras...

MrHappy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 in the DM it said she pulled the gate closed & it fell on top of her, (cctv) I assume when closed only gravity held it in place? Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Some of us install quite a bit of automation and take safety very seriously, and some of us install a couple of gates and get to go to Italy for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that be? Don't all gates have some kind of pillar or arm going over to stop that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Only if it's fitted. Have been other UK scenarios where a stop was left off and gate was able to come right off the rails.

BUSTER Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 May not be enough room for a cantilever, they are approx. 1/3rd longer than the opening size Quote Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
