Notes:

  • Overhead dimensions are based on 6 foot high car gate.
  • Two section car gates are not recommended for high usage installations or wide openings.
  • For extra high door opening requirements, or special conditions, consult your representative.
Calculations based on EMS Gates and Doors
Minimum Overhead for Single Section Gates
  = 14'-6"
Minimum Overhead for Two Section Gates
  = 12'-4"
Clear Inside of Cab
  Width = Platform – 4"
Front Opening Only
  Depth = Platform – 5" for Single Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 6 ½"
  Depth = Platform – 7 ½" for Two Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 9"
Front and Rear Opening
  Depth = Platform – 6" for Single Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 9"
  Depth = Platform – 11" for Two Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 14"
   
 
ASME A17.1 code requirements for minimum rated capacity are as follows:
Class A (General Freight Loading) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft.
Class B (Motor Vehicle Loading) – 30 lbs. per sq. ft.
Class C-1 (Industrial Truck Loading – truck carried by elevator) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft., but not less than load, including weight of truck.
Class C-2 (Industrial Truck Loading – truck is normally used for loading and unloading only, and is not usually carried by elevator) – for elevators of 20,000 lbs. capacity or less capacity shall equal the weight of the loaded truck – maximum load on platform during loading and unloading not exceed 150% of rated load.
Class C-3 (Other loading with heavy concentrations where truck is not usually used) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft., but not less than load.
NOTE: Square feet area of platform is determined by net inside area.
 
General Note:
 
1 lb. = 0.454 kg
1ft2 = 9.29 E-2m2
