Protect yourself and others when carrying out essential maintenance. The Utility Gate is a safe and effective maintenance barrier for use when working on elevators and escalators. The barrier can be opened out and form an effective barrier to entry for pedestrians who are not paying attention. Multiple units can be clipped together to form a larger escalator barricade giving more working room when needed. When you are finished working the assembly can be folded and easily carried away. Give a better more professional appearance whilst carrying out maintenance work. Instead of using “make do” barricades that look ugly, use a proper high visibility system.
