About Us
Welcome to Safegate
Safegate is the UK’s leader in lift-shaft edge protection safety. The BS EN:13374 tested and certified system can be installed on any surface, including glass or polished concrete, and will be configured for your specific requirements. What you need to know about us is that our systems can be face fit, reveal fit or completely free standing and can also be pre-installed on prefabricated lift-shafts and modular buildings or installed as the core is formed from the jump prior to floors going in. The system comes in several variants including, Standard, Solid (smoke & fire reduction) and the patented Double access gate which aids access and egress into the shaft while loading out.
Safegate have designed and developed the proven and highly successful lightweight, man portable Safegate lift shaft gate protection system to be easily installed and just as easy to remove through the finished building. The system is suitable for structural openings from 800mm to over 15 metres.
Safegate has been supplying the system to the majority of the UK’s leading construction and lift companies since our inception. The Safegate provides the perfect solution to guard against falls during construction phase, through to lift installation, protecting personnel from falls and protecting operatives in the shaft from falling debris from above.
We offer a full supply, installation & removal service, or certified training and supply only for self-installation. Both options are supported with a 24h maintenance and repair service. Our dedicated team of engineers undertake regular training and are all Edge Protection Federation accredited edge protection operatives.

Just a short note to say thanks for your operatives efforts today, lads were most accommodating and patient when small amount of materials require to be removed to facilitate installation on L30 thus allowing all the gates to be installed as we required, site was left clean and tidy and most of all in a safe manner.

I just wanted to send you my thanks on the prompt removal of the safe gates.
The operative who attended was extremely professional and helpful. I sincerely hope he attends site next time to remove the rest.

Since working for Schindler UK edge protection is a requirement for installation, I find the service and the friendliness of all the operation and sales staff is second to none.
I feel we get a personal service and always attend site when arranged. In a busy environment where sometimes things become more urgent, the team re-arrange installations to meet our needs, the documentation is always sent well in advance of the installations.
