DOUBLE AXES GATE
Falling from height is a real risk in industrial environments. The DOUBLE AXES GATE securely closes openings, preventing falls. This industrial safety gate is the best choice for securing caged ladders and blocking access to machines and work platforms at height. The DOUBLE AXES GATE is available for openings from 500 mm to 1130 mm.

Made from 100% recyclable polymer
The world’s most sustainable safety gate
The DOUBLE AXES GATE is made entirely of HI-TEP, a polymer developed by Boplan®. This recyclable material represents a major step forward in sustainability. It eliminates the toxic 2-component PU used in traditional safety gates.
Suitable for extreme conditions
- Extremely long life
- Resistant to chemicals and UV radiation
- Superior temperature and dimensional stability
Key features and benefits include:
Fireproof and resistant to chemicals and UV radiation
DOUBLE AXES GATES have been used worldwide for 20 years in the harshest and most challenging environments, such as the chemical industry and offshore drilling rigs. They are highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, extremely salty environments, and highly corrosive chemicals. The design, composition, and features make the safety gate suitable for any application in any industry.
Extremely long life
The DOUBLE AXES GATE consists of High Impact Thermoplastic Engineered Polymer (HI-TEP) and stainless-steel components. Rust and corrosion do not affect it. These materials retain their structural integrity for a very long time and require no maintenance. The hinge has been tested for over 150,000 cycles. This corresponds to opening and closing 20 times a day for 20 years.
Cost-effective
Compared to traditional metal and PU safety gates, investing in the DOUBLE AXES GATE equals saving on repairs and replacements. Because the DOUBLE AXES GATE prevents falls, financial and other damage to the business is avoided. Examples include reputational damage, lost time, time-consuming and cumbersome work, and safety inspections, etc.
Easy to install
The hinge block opens to the left or right. It is attached with 2 bolts (plus optional adapters for a round tube or I-beam). Then we place the spindle and close the opening with the cover.
- Few tools required: This enables easy, fast and safe installation. Even at great heights.
- Opens in two directions: experience the ultimate convenience and flexibility of the DOUBLE AXES GATE, designed to open in both directions with an impressive 120° turning circle. The gate opens just as easily to the left or right.
- We will deliver the DOUBLE AXES GATE according to the requested dimensions, but if necessary, you can shorten the gate on site.
Optimal visibility
The polymer is dyed throughout in a striking signal yellow: RAL 1003. This colour makes it easy to find the exit in any situation. Easily mount a warning sign by drilling holes at pre-marked positions.
No sharp edges, making it safe for hands.
The DOUBLE AXES GATE consists of rounded elements that prevent clothing or limbs from getting caught.
