Gates for Trucks and Trailers

Gates are becoming a more important part of the transport industry.

Regulations are changing all the time.

And some mine sites enforce truckies to have gates on their truck or trailer before they can enter their sites.

Safety Priorities

It is your responsibility to make sure that you are informed of government regulations and that everything is secured to your truck or trailer.

Should freight fall off your truck or trailer, you will be held responsible and it could be very costly, especially if someone injures themselves.

Load Racks

Load racks at the front & rear are necessary on most trailers carrying general freight as they can help stop the freight moving. They can be supplied in 2 classes from light weight up to heavy duty.

Light weight load racks can be fitted with flat inserts inside the bottom 250mm to help stop them cracking or bending at the bottom. This enables you to have a load rack that can still be handled easily but less chance of cracking or bending at the bottom.

Load racks & gates are kept in stock for most makes of trailers or if not in stock can be made to order in a short time.

Curtain Siders

Beware of the fact that side curtains are not classed as a load restraint. So if you have a pallet or anything inside with no gates and not tied down, it is classed as being not secured.

Some newer trailers have special curtains which are classed as load restraining, but you would need to check with the manufacturer.

Load restraint curtains are generally designed for equal loading such as a full load of pallets of equal weight.

DIY Gates

Different size gates are kept in stock with no pins attached.

You can purchase the gates to suit your size truck & weld the pins on to suit the holes in the tray.

Pins & catches can be supplied as well as different types of gate pockets to suit the tray.

You will need to know what type of combing the tray has. The combing is the steel beam running along the edge of the tray. It may be a channel, RSJ /eyebeam, or a flat bar combing.

If it is a flat bar combing, we need to know the overall width of the tray to determine if the gate pockets can go on the outside or have to go on the inside under the floor.

The maximum width including the gate pockets is 2500mm.

Fittings available: Banana Catches, Corner Pins, Corner Chains and Gate Pockets & Pins. See Accessories.

Handy Hint

A good tip is when you are travelling empty to lay the gates down as this is when they rattle around and the metal becomes fatigued!

Roller kits and tracks can be supplied only or supplied and fitted. Rollers can be supplied for most tautliner tracks.
