Typical applications
This versatile vehicle gate shines in scenarios where temporary fencing meets the need for controlled access. It’s a go-to for construction sites, allowing lorries, tippers, and vans to enter without dismantling barriers. Event organisers love it for festivals or exhibitions, where it handles delivery trucks and emergency vehicles smoothly. Industrial yards and storage facilities use it to secure perimeters while permitting forklifts or smaller machinery. Even in urban redevelopment projects, it provides safe passage for bicycles, motorcycles, and cars under 4m wide. Essentially, anywhere you need a temporary fence but can’t afford to block vehicular traffic, this gate keeps things flowing securely.
Safety and compliance
Safety is at the heart of the Heras fence vehicle gate’s design. Its anti-climb mesh prevents unauthorised scaling, while the galvanised steel construction ensures longevity and resistance to the weather, and complies with industry standards for temporary site security, such as those outlined in BS EN 1993 for steel structures. The wheel castors promote safe, effortless movement, reducing strain on users and minimising the risk of accidents during operation. For compliance, it aligns with UK health and safety regulations for construction sites, emphasising secure perimeters to protect workers and the public. Details like the optional padlock on the latch add an extra layer of theft deterrence. Always ensure installation by competent personnel, and pair with rubber feet or couplers for stability. Regular inspections for wear on castors and hinges will keep it performing reliably and uphold your site’s safety protocols.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
What exactly is the Heras fence vehicle gate with wheels?
It’s a pair of anti-climb gates that create a 4.2m wide opening in temporary fencing, equipped with wheels for easy swinging and a latch for secure closure.
How wide is the actual vehicle opening?
When fully open, it accommodates vehicles up to 4m wide, giving a bit of buffer beyond the gate’s 4.2m total width.
How do I install it on my site?
Simply place each gate on rubber feet (if needed), connect it to the adjacent Heras panels with couplers on the hinges, and secure it with the latch, quick and straightforward.
Can it handle large vehicles, such as lorries?
Yes, it’s suitable for 7.5-tonne trucks, double-decker buses, and most artic tippers, as long as they’re under 4m wide.
How secure is the gate against intruders?
The anti-climb design and lockable latch (with padlock option not included) provide strong deterrence and integrate seamlessly with your fence line.
Do I need extra accessories for setup?
If integrating into existing fencing, you’ll need at least four couplers (two per side); standalone use requires two rubber feet.
How do the wheels affect usability?
The castors allow smooth, effortless opening and closing, even on uneven ground, making it user-friendly for daily operations.
Can this gate be used standalone without fencing?
While designed for integration, it can function alone with feet and couplers, though it’s best as part of a perimeter.
Is it compliant with safety standards?
Yes, it meets BS EN 1993 guidelines for steel structures and supports UK construction site safety regs for secure access.
