Wildeck Inc.<\/a>, has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 9,834,975 for its innovative \u201cHazard Alert Device for Elevated Barrier,\u201d known commercially as Wildeck\u2019s EdgeAlert Open Gate Alarm System.<\/p>\n

The invention is just one example of the company\u2019s emphasis on customer safety in all its product lines (guards, mezzanines, lifts, and access products). The inventors on the Patent are Keith G. Pignolet (Chairman of the Board; former President) and Steven M. Payne, Electrical Project Engineer).<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s busy distribution centers, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, an open gate on an elevated mezzanine level is a serious safety concern that could result in an employee falling and sustaining severe injury, including broken bones, lacerations, or even death. For every elevated application where an open gate situation could occur, an early warning device such as Wildeck\u2019s EdgeAlert Open Gate Alarm System could make all the difference.<\/p>\n

When properly installed, the EdgeAlert alarm will signal an open gate condition with a highly visible flashing light and a loud audible alarm. Use of Wildeck<\/a>\u2019s EdgeAlert Open Gate Alarm System can also assist facilities in compliance with federal and state safety regulations.<\/p>\n

According to Hubert A. Schlegel, Wildeck<\/a> Director of Marketing, \u201cThe EdgeAlert Open Gate Alarm is a must-have device that can help protect personnel, increase facility safety and reduce the costs associated with injuries and lost time accidents. Every elevated gate should have an EdgeAlert alarm to prevent inadvertent harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EdgeAlert alarm is easy to operate and can be installed on new or existing swing gates, slide gates, tilt gates and scissor gates. It includes a 120 VAC plug-in power supply and can also be powered by (4) long life alkaline \u201cD\u201d cell batteries (not included with the device). A Single-Pole, Single-Throw 30V, 2A, 60W Relay Output is provided for connection to other alarms or safety controls. A dual-channel processor system is self-monitoring and will display a \u201cfault\u201d signal if a sensor or wiring problem is detected.<\/p>\n

For maximum visibility at elevated and ground levels, amber-colored LED lights are located on the front and back of the alarm enclosure. When a gate is being used, workers may choose to silence the EdgeAlert alarm for 120 seconds by pressing the \u201cSnooze\/Acknowledge\u201d button. However, during this brief loading or off-loading period, the highly visible warning light continues to flash. Once an open gate has been closed and secured, users can reset the EdgeAlert alarm by pressing the \u201cSnooze\/Acknowledge\u201d button again, or simply opt for the Automatic Reset mode.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur patented EdgeAlert Open Gate Alarm system is an example of Wildeck<\/a> innovation and market leadership as a designer and manufacturer of safety products and options for storing, lifting, guarding and access equipment,\u201d Schlegel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
