Safety edges are a type of safety device that are installed on the moving part of a gate (such as a swing or sliding gate) in order to prevent accidents. These devices are designed to detect when an object or person is in the path of the moving gate, and to trigger the gate to stop or reverse movement in order to avoid a collision. Safety edges typically consist of a flexible rubber strip or bumper that is mounted along the edge of the gate, and a sensor that is attached to the gate operator.

There are several types of safety edges available, including those that are wired and those that are wireless. Wired safety edges are connected directly to the gate operator, and require a physical connection in order to transmit the signal. Wireless safety edges, on the other hand, use a wireless transmitter and receiver to communicate with the gate operator, and do not require a physical connection.

Safety edges are an important safety feature for any gate, and are especially important for gates that are used in public areas or in areas where there is a high risk of collision with pedestrians or vehicles. Elite Gates offers a variety of safety edges from leading brands such as Miller Edge and Liftmaster, and can help you choose the best safety edge for your specific gate and application.
