Delivery,Movement&Transportation
This article describes how your equipment will be delivered to you, specifications on the transportation
used and advice including health & safety on movement of the equipment.
The manufacturer will use a qualified transport company to deliver the product conforming to the
necessary regulations as detailed below:
?All drivers are qualified
?All drivers are tested once yearly ( If applicable )
?All drivers carry risk assessments and method statements (available on request)
?They are controlled under law to conform as there are no trade regulation standards to comply with
Health and safety Considerations:
Moving Goods Safely (MGS) is a national project involving both the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and
LocalAuthorities (LA) working in partnership. The project aims to reduce injuries and ill-health arising from
the movement of goods from supplier through haulier to the recipient and end user including any home
deliveries. The project will focus upon the delivery and collection of goods and the hazards this generates. It
covers the main areas that cause the majority of injuries and ill-health to workers, including:
?Workplace transport;
?Slips & trips, and;
?Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
The movement of goods presents us, as health and safety regulators, with the challenge of dealing with a
huge variety of issues. The commercial organisations involved within the movement of goods are diverse
including haulier, third party logistics providers, pallet networks, retailers etc, with some very large companies,
thousands of small businesses and the self-employed. The movement of goods is more than just trucks on
the road with a large proportion of accidents happening at the delivery/collection sites that are often not
directly under the control of the company making the delivery or collection. Communication and cooperation
problems can arise due to the many organizations involved in the movement of the goods, and this can also
lead to difficulties in effectively managing health and safety.
(Source H&S Executive UK 2008)
The gates should ALWAYS! be moved with care and attention. The products are very heavy individually
as well as a whole. You should not attempt to move this or any other products by unapproved handling
methods.

Lifting and Handling
WARNING
Always take safety precautions when lifting and handling heavy objects, in
accordance with Manual Handling Operation Regulations 1992.
Always wear correct safety equipment in the vicinity of equipment being off loaded.
The gate is to be steadied by means of ropes attached to each end of the gate;
preventing it from swinging whilst being manoeuvred. It is important to use the
correct nylon slings with a SWL of 2 tonne for each sling.
HANDLING
Due to the size and weight of most D6000 swing gates, the services of a
mobile crane/ hiab are essential for safe off-loading and positioning. The
Posts are to be lifted off first and bolted down ready for the leafs to be
hung. Once the posts are bolted down and secure the leafs can be hung
using the crane. The gate leafs should be supported centrally, ensuring
that the frame/ leaf are balanced and unlikely to cause excessive
movement in the air that may cause the gate damage.

Installation
All foundations should be installed as per drawing supplied as base size’s will vary
depending on the size of the gates. (Contact your supplier if you have not been issued one.)
All foundations should be installed 10 x days prior to the gates being installed.
If details of the base have not been specified, we recommend a concrete mix to
BS EN 206-1:2000 “Concrete specification, Performance, Production and Conformity”
to type C32/40, which
:
is equally suitable for external and internal environments.
Foundations
The foundation must be positioned accurately and installed to the correct levels to
ensure successful installation.
Careful consideration should be made when deciding the location of the gate to
avoid overhead obstructions such as power cables, telephone wires building
canopies, trees and other types of likely obstructions and hazards, which will not
Ducting
Ducting carrying cables for power and control should enter the gate support frame
from underground. Two ducts are normally required, one for the power supply,
the other for the control. Where the power supply and control cables are to come
from a common place; a single duct can be used.
These ducts must be sited accurately in the base as shown on the contract
drawing. The use of cable access pits is recommended where there may be a
number of ducts used entering the gate or long cable runs are necessary. We also
recommend the ducts used be of 100mm diameter PVC. Alternative types and sizes
may be acceptable, subject to discussions with your equipment supplier.
Slow bends should always be used wherever possible, and the inclusion of draw
ropes throughout the ducting system, will ensure that the cables are easily installed.

Installation Cont.
CABLE REQUIREMENTS
As each installation is likely to have different forms of control, each contract will be allocated
its own circuit diagram but the following notes should always apply.
Cables when laid into the ducting should be left with 3m long tails. Any internal cable must
be completely installed to the final location of the equipment to be used and be left with a
suitable length of tail. All cable glands used must be suitable for the type of cable used.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is essential to route the ducting with care, to ensure that it does not interfere with
the floor anchor equipment fixings.
It is important that this electrical work only be undertaken by competent electrical
Staff and that all electrical work is carried out in accordance work IEE Regulations –
current edition.
All cables when installed must be tested in accordance with the current edition of
The I.E.E. Regulations.
POWER CABLES
A dedicated 230V, 50Hz, 1Ph power supply, including a neutral connection for each Pair of
swing gates is required from an external source and run back to a local, suitably rated
isolator and/or to the main distributor board and protected by a 16 amp M.C.B. The
isolation and protection of the equipment must by others.
A 3-core PVC /SWA /PVC type cables to BS 6346: 1997 should be provided. The conductor
size is to be calculated by the installer as per the above specification. Typical current
consumption of the gate motors is 6 Amps.
All cables should be fed by underground ducting from: -
i. Main electrical supply point
ii. Various control devices (i.e. push buttons, induction loops, card readers etc…)
Gland off on the plates provided in the main control cabinet, the cable tails being long
enough to route to the terminal rail.
All cabling can then be terminated in accordance with the relevant circuit diagram. See page
13 for connection details.
The system is now ready for testing, All testing must be carried out by a fully trained
engineer and should be commissioned off to the end user and the commissioning
certificate should be filled in by the engineer.

ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES
Position the slow down sensors towards the centre of the motor, near the
limit board, position the limit switch sensors at the motor ends.
Enter the limit switch adjustment menu and bring the door to the desired
position. To postion the door you can release the motor and position it
manually or operate buttons + and - (+ opens, - closes). Once the door is in
the desired position, adjust the limit switch sensor: starting from the motor
end, move the sensor towards the centre of the motor unit the limit switch
board LED lights up, when the limit switch is working , the relative board
LED is on, when it is not, the LED is off. Adjust both the opening and
closing limit switches. After adjusting the limit switch position, adjust the
position of the slow down start.
An Oil chance is recommended every 5 years.
