Product Spotlight: Hi-Motions 750 Safety Cable – The Ultimate Gate Security Solution
Ensuring safety and compliance with modern regulations is a top priority when it comes to gate systems. Introducing the Hi-Motions 750 Safety Cable for swing gates—a simple yet highly effective safety device designed to prevent catastrophic hinge failure on swing gates.
How Does It Work?
The Hi-Motions 750 Safety Cable is constructed from durable galvanized steel and is designed to secure the gate post and hinge area. In the event of hinge failure, this safety cable acts as a fail-safe, stopping the gate from falling and causing potential harm. This extra layer of protection ensures peace of mind, safeguarding both people and property.
Why we recommend adding it:
In 2018, updated legislation brought in stricter safety standards for gate systems. The DHF Code of Practice: DHF TS 011:2019 now mandates that all swing and folding gates must be protected against hinge failure:
“Swing and folding gate systems produced since 2018 (post publication of EN 12604:2017) should be protected against hinge failure such that if a hinge fails the gate will not drop nor move more than 300mm off its vertical axis. They should also be protected against being lifted more than 50% of their hinge pin length.”
By installing the Hi-Motions 750 Safety Cable, you not only ensure compliance with the latest safety regulations but also mitigate the risk of single-point failure—a critical factor in high-use environments.
Optimal Protection
For maximum security, we recommend fitting the safety cables around the gate hinges at both the top and bottom. This dual-point installation provides comprehensive protection, ensuring the gate remains secure even in the event of hinge failure.
