Arm-Tex offers a universal-mount safety swing gate from YellowGate, a leading industrial safety product manufacturer. A safety swing gate is a specialized OSHA-complaint gate that opens in one direction, preventing an operator from falling back through after entry.

OSHA Safety Swing Gate

A safety swing gate from YellowGate can act as a safeguard to give you and your staff a little more peace of mind than standard swing gates.

Why Choose YellowGate?

  • The malbec tensioner found in YellowGate products eliminates the need for a spring, which is a common swing gate failure point. This patent-pending system provides field-adjustable tension and maintenance-free closure, every time.
  • YellowGate’s universal swing mechanism further reduces complexity and allows for gate re-purposing as required. Adjusting a few bolts can change swing direction. Other swing gates require flipping parts or changing mounting positions, which limits flexibility. 
  • Making safety a top workplace priority sets a standard that keeps production moving and employees protected.
