DEFENDER GATE™ XL
The NOVA Defender Gate™ XL is available in larger sizes up to 16-feet wide and has double rails like the DG20. Bollards and trusses support the added weight of the elongated design, and a third top handle is included to ensure ease of operation. The DGXL provides a larger coverage area for increasing in-plant safety and security or protecting loading docks and other elevated surfaces.

STRUCTURAL
The bollards are constructed from 4-inch square, 3/16-inch thick A-500 Grade B steel tubing. The tubes are welded to 3/8-inch thick A-36 steel base plates and anchored to the floor with a total of (24) 3/4 x 6-inch long concrete anchor bolts, included. The main center sections of the gate are made from A-500 Grade B rectangular steel tubing, 10 x 3 x 1/8-inches thick, and joined in the middle with a center pin. The entire gate is powder-coated safety yellow for optimal visibility and durability.
Based on its engineered design and proven by standardized testing the Defender Gate™ can stop a 13,500-pound forklift traveling at 6.5 mph. To better quantify the impact rating designation and provide a better degree of impact protection, the Gate can be rated in terms of total Kinetic Energy absorbed.
The chart below helps understand the effects of various speeds and weights based on the Kinetic Energy absorbed. The Defender Gate™ is engineered to provide effective protection for any combination of vehicle mass and speed in the green shaded area of the chart.
