Gate Safety & Compliance Services by PSS
Automatic gates generate substantial force during operation. Without proper entrapment protection and safety devices, gates can cause serious injury, property damage, and liability risk, especially in high-traffic residential communities, commercial facilities, and public-facing environments.
PSS helps property owners and managers reduce risk by installing, repairing, and maintaining gate safety devices and by ensuring gate systems align with the safety standards most commonly referenced across the industry, including UL 325 and ASTM F2200.
Safety Device Repair & Preventative Maintenance
Entrapment protection devices and safety components must remain fully functional to provide real protection. If your gate is behaving unpredictably, not reversing properly, or your safety devices are intermittent, it’s important to address the issue quickly.
PSS provides responsive safety device troubleshooting and repair, including system testing, adjustments, and validation of correct operation. We also include safety device inspection and testing as part of routine preventative maintenance, especially for gates exposed to frequent vehicle traffic.
Safety Devices We Install, Repair & Maintain
PSS installs and services gate safety and entrapment protection devices designed to detect obstructions, prevent collisions, and reduce the risk of injury or damage.
Vehicle Sensor Loops & Loop Detectors
Vehicle detection loops help prevent gates from closing on vehicles in the path of travel. These loops are installed beneath asphalt, concrete, or gravel and work with loop detectors to recognize vehicle presence and command the gate to stop or reverse when needed. Reverse loops can also help keep a gate open if a vehicle stops within the protected zone.
Photo Eyes
Photo eyes project a beam across the gate opening. If the beam is interrupted by a person, pet, or vehicle, the gate will stop or reverse to prevent entrapment or impact. Photo eyes are considered monitored safety devices and are commonly used as part of compliance requirements for automatic gate systems.
Safety Edges
Safety edges are pressure-sensitive devices installed on gate edges or pinch points. If contact occurs, the edge triggers the system to stop or reverse. Like photo eyes, safety edges are monitored safety devices and are often required to reduce entrapment risk.
Exit Probes & Probe Detectors
Exit probes can provide an alternative method of vehicle detection and automated exit control, depending on site conditions and system requirements.
