A safety gate assembly for mounting on scaffolding, comprises of a pair of gate supports 11,12 with a gate 13,14 hinged with pintle-type hinges 15 allowing 180{ movement, to one of them and the other having gate engagement means 17. The upper and lower ends of the gate supports are axially offset in a 'crank' shape, to form mounting portions 21 for attachment via conventional means to the existing scaffolding 20. This allows the mounting portions to be outside the scaffolding whilst still allowing the door to open inwardly. Preferably the gate is of the stable door type, a stop 16 limiting the movement of the doors relative to each other. Optionally each gate has a conventional bolt 18 and also a toe board can be attached to the bottom of the gate supports. |
