Full Product Overview

The Hymer Self Closing Safety Gate with Toeboard is designed to protect the access opening where a fixed aluminium ladder meets a roof, platform or elevated working area.

Its key feature is the automatic self-closing action. Once the user has passed through, the gate returns across the ladder opening automatically rather than relying on somebody to manually close it afterwards.

An integrated magnetic catch helps retain the gate in its closed position while still providing straightforward access when the fixed ladder needs to be used.

Rather than relying on a single horizontal barrier, the gate incorporates an integrated handrail, knee rail and toeboard, providing protection at upper, intermediate and lower levels across the access opening.

Installation is flexible, with the gate suitable for mounting on either the left or right-hand side according to the layout of the ladder and surrounding structure.

Two sizes are available. The Narrow 0054032 measures approximately 632 mm wide, while the Wide 0054033 measures approximately 772 mm wide. Both are approximately 1.09 m high and manufactured from lightweight aluminium.

Designed specifically for fixed aluminium ladder systems, the Hymer Self Closing Safety Gate provides a practical solution for roof access, industrial platforms, plant areas and other permanent high-level access points.
