Section Cover Sheet 2006-10-31 Section 11281 Heavy Duty Slide Gates

Use this section to specify requirements for cast iron heavy duty slide gates. Normally, heavy duty slide gates are designed for seating heads up to 30.5 m and unseating heads up to 9.1 m. Electrically operated hoist operators are typically provided for the larger si ed gates. !or lo"er head applications #i.e. ma$imum seating heads of %.1 m and unseating heads of 3 m&, refer to 'ection 11()0 * +edium ,uty 'lide -ates.
