Slide Gate Preventative Maintenance Checklist
by Andy Holland, from the Community
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.
