Safety
First:
Did you know that the
United States has safety standards for automatic gate openers?
Check our competition,
many do not meet some or all of the UL-325 Safety standards.
The CPSC reports that from
1990-1998 an estimated 6,800 injuries (or 755 injuries per year)
were related to automatic gates. Among those incidents, there
were 28 automatic gate-related deaths during the same time
period, involving victims from 17 months to 60 years old.
UL325 Fourth Edition
requires that automatic gate openers not only stop when they
encounter an obstruction, but also reverse to prevent
compression or strangulation injuries. Make sure the gate
opener you purchase includes both of these safety features....ours
does.
