SafetyRespect introduce the Lift Shaft Safety Gate for Controlled Access and Fall Protection in Lift Cores.
Lift Shaft gates are designed to prevent falls from height through lift shaft voids by closing the opening whilst allowing controlled access to those who work and manage work in this area using the key that opens and locks the door.
Its primary role is to prevent falls from height through open doorways in lift cores by providing a fixed barrier across the lower half of the opening which will also block tools and fixings if accidentally kicked from outside the door opening.
An important feature of the Lift Shaft Door is the split door design which allows the top half section to be opened ( commonly referred to as a Stable-door design).
The upper section of the door can be opened leaving the lower section in place maintaining edge protection. This allows those working in the shaft to safely pass tools and objects avoiding the need for a Personal Fall Protection System.

Controlled access into the Lift Shaft is achieved for authorised personnel using the Euro-standard triangular lift lock key ( supplied).
In the event of an emergency in the Lift Shaft, the door design allows the entire door to be opened from the inside without a key allowing a fast evacuation from the shaft.
Lift Shaft Gates can be configured to protect door openings from 1000mm to 2500mm installed to external faces or internal reveals anchored to Concrete, Blockwork or Brickwork.
They are easily installed by two operatives. The weight of a 1200mm door opening is 40kg.
Instructions are supplied and Site-based Training can be arranged through the SafetyRespect Training Academy.
Lift shaft gates can be manufactured in corporate colours to reinforce your company safety ethos and improve your industry reputation.
Lift Shaft Gates are available to Hire or Purchase.
