Slide Gate Preventative Maintenance Checklist

by Andy Holland, from the Community

10+

This preventative maintenance checklist supports safe, compliant servicing of powered automatic slide gates. It covers equipment identification, visual inspections, lubrication, mechanical clearances, limit switches, safety edges, photocells, warning lights, signage, and controller housing condition. Steps include cleaning, tightening fixings, assessing loops and IR beams, verifying slowdown efficiency, and checking guide rollers, wheels, runners, toothed track, guides, and base plates. The template also prompts compliance with PUWER, HSE, GATESAFE, and DHF guidance, includes partial and full force dynamics testing to BS EN 12445, and documents electrical checks, power sources, containment, and certification. Use it to record defects, recommendations, photos, and sign-off for overall system performance and safety.

Swing Gate Preventative Maintenance Checklist
Use this planned preventative maintenance checklist to inspect and service powered swing gates. Record site details, equipment make and model, control type and safety devices. Verify IR beams, warning lights, safety edges, signs and access controls. Clean and lubricate hinges and drive systems, check oil and hydraulic fluid levels, tighten fixings and confirm limit switches and emergency stops work. Assess cables, enclosures, foundations and physical stops. Test photocells and safety edges stop and reverse functions. Perform force dynamics testing at 500 mm, 300 mm and 50 mm where required and log pass or fail results. Capture photos, note defects and recommendations, and confirm compliance with PUWER, HSE, GateSafe and DHF guidance. Include electrical checks, backup power status and key access details. Finish with overall condition, client acknowledgment and engineer sign off.

Bollard and Blocker Preventative Maintenance Checklist
This template supports planned preventative maintenance visits for automatic bollards and vehicle blockers. It guides engineers through safety and compliance checks aligned with PUWER, HSE guidance, GateSafe, and DHF codes of practice. Sections cover site and equipment details, photos, counts of bollards and spaces, control types, and dimensions. Inspect barrier directions, intercoms, IR beams, warning lights, safety edges, signage, and battery backup. Perform mechanical and hydraulic checks, clean and lubricate moving parts, verify limit switches and end stops, and test manual release mechanisms. Review electrical installations, cable routing, containment, breakers, and connections. Record defects, recommendations, additional risks, and overall condition, then capture signatures for engineer and client to complete sign off.

Barrier Preventative Maintenance Visits
This barrier preventative maintenance checklist supports planned service visits for powered barriers and automatic gates. It guides engineers through safety and compliance checks, including numbers and locations of barriers, IR beams, warning lights, safety edges, signage, and operating equipment such as battery backup, fire drop units, and access controls. General inspection steps cover debris removal, lubrication, mechanical clearances, limit switches, cable routing, CE plates, emergency releases, and stop devices. Rising arm barrier checks verify mounting hardware, slowdown efficiency, manual release, lighting, and limit actuators. Electrical checks capture supply details and connection integrity. The template reinforces PUWER and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC compliance and includes sections for hazards, defects, recommendations, photos, and sign-off.
