Gate Closing Hinge

Keeping offshore platforms safe, one gate at a time.

Gate closing solutions, adapted to suit your project

Access gates with a closing device are crucial for the offshore sector where access areas need to be kept safe. This, however, poses a problem with the harsh marine environment, where most existing hinges are manufactured from galvanised or low-grade stainless steel.

Our gate closing solutions are purpose-built for the offshore industry and have been supplied on offshore projects around the world. Engineered to last, all components are made from high-grade stainless steel, pickled and passivated for extra corrosion resistance and are designed and engineered in our UK factory to ensure high build quality and maximum reliability.
Our closing hinge can be adapted to the specific needs of the project. Spring torsion and adjustability, dimensions of the closer, fixing methods and other built-in features can all be adjusted or re-designed to ensure the perfect solution.

Features that our closers can incorporate include isolation plates to prevent the reaction between dissimilar metals, an internal drop bolt that will hold the gate closed or open at an angle of your choice, and built-in stops to block the gate swinging outwards, ensuring operator safety and preventing damage to fixtures.

Adaptable for both single and double gates, our closing hinges enable a complete solution for worker safety, giving a tried and tested solution for reliable closing in an offshore environment.

Gate Hinge Product Features

Hold open/hold closed function

The gate closer can incorporate an integral hold function where the gate can be held in the closed position or held open at an angle of your choice. This is built into the product, using a locating pin which is lifted by hand and drops into the corresponding location hole, eliminating the need for a separate gate latch.

Integrated stop

The integrated stoppers ensure the gate cannot swing too far in either direction, meaning adjacent fixtures cannot be damaged and eliminating the need for any external device that could cause a protrusion or trip hazard.

Fully adjustable

The closing force of the gate can easily be controlled with the built-in tension adjuster. This ensures the gate can be set at a tension that suits the location. All dimensions including fixing positions are designed to the project.

Engineered for the marine environment

Using a high grade stainless steel or alternative material of your choice, our gate hinges are designed to cope with the harshest conditions, ensuring ultimate reliability and longevity.
