Safety gate expands panel by panel and rotates

Slide-A-Matic from Deken Power is a safety gate composed of a series of interlocking sliding panels that rotate into position and then extend, panel by panel, to a latch post, where the gate is firmly secured.

A single gate can close off up to 14 ft., and two gates can be brought together from the left and right to double that length. The gate does not require the confines of a suspension or tracking system to operate, making it free to rotate to the side when retracted.

The safety gate is designed to guard industrial production and robotic areas that require high-visibility protection and unobstructed access for servicing, loading equipment, and machine setup. Because it is lockable, it can also serve as a security gate for cribs.

The gate features all-steel construction. Individual panels are 51.5 in. wide. Standard panel inserts are 2-in. welded wire, but many types of inserts are available. Total thickness of all four panels when retracted is less than 4 in. Standard gate height is 77 in., but that can vary depending on the requirement.
