The Western-Cullen-Hayes "Gate-Gard" Adapter*
If you are concerned with the high cost of replacing damaged crossing gate arms, Western-Cullen-Hayes has a new product that can help reduce those costs.
Our rugged, new, "Gate-Gard" adapter, permits the gate arm to pivot with the impact of a motor vehicle, and safely return to its normal horizontal position, even with arms as long as thirty-six feet. The unique latch design of the "Gate-Gard" reduces the violent rebound that some ordinary spring loaded adapters can generate.
An easily replaceable shear pin is also included in the "Gate-Gard" design to provide more resistance to vertical gate arm rotation in high wind areas.
The "Gate-Gard" requires no regular maintenance and can be used with fiberglass or aluminum/fiberglass gate arms. Our design permits the counterweight torque to be set properly for gate arms up to thirty-six feet long. Proper torque settings are critical to the operation of gate mechanisms. Improper torque adjustment can cause premature wear of mechanism gears and other components.
Contact Western-Cullen-Hayes for pricing and availability of the "Gate-Gard".
