This ladder access gate from HERMEQ includes all key safety features for protecting personnel working at height. The reinforced steel mesh construction resists bending or deformation under force, while the toe board prevents tools or materials from slipping off the platform edge.
Its spring-loaded hinge has been upgraded for long-lasting resistance to fatigue and exposure, ensuring the gate always closes—even during high wind or when left unattended. This improves site compliance without requiring additional crew intervention.
Welded steel couplers allow easy alignment and quick securement to existing scaffold frames. Each unit is powder coated for corrosion protection and high visibility, contributing to safer operations in busy, weather-exposed work environments.
The HERMEQ access gate integrates with temporary scaffold systems on construction sites, commercial developments, and civil engineering projects. It's ideal for regulating entry at scaffold lift levels where ladders are present. For further site safety control, pair this with temporary fencing accessories and building control equipment.
