Hi many thanks for your reply , are you saying that the 400n limit can be disregarded providing that there is adequate protection ie safety edges ect for example if the gate is opening against a wall and you have protected the crushing area with safety edges ??
I am concerned that installing a boarded gate in a exposed area will prove unreliable for the client and ultimately damage our reputation as a result , not to mention the other safety concerns with for example a physically impaired person having to manually release a gate in above average winds to then be injured by the ( sail effect ) of the gate !!
Do you have any advise on how to get around this ??
Also I have heard that the hse are looking into amending the machine directive to make it more user friendly for the installer is there any truth in this rumor ??
Please respond asap. Kind regards
