The tutorial covers a brief introduction on automated gate safety and force testing, legislation and why it is important to perform a force test on automated systems and an introduction to the KMG force tester system and functions. The tutorial then goes on to show three automated situations including sliding gate, swing gate and garage door and how to correctly use the force testing equipment. Managing Director of Easygates, Tony Daniels-Gooding said: “We have spent a substantial amount of time and money on producing this tutorial and really believe in the value of sharing this information with the industry to ensure force testing equipment is used consistently and correctly.
