GUG55 Guardrail 5 ft Rolling Swing Gate
The Frontline GUG55 is a 5 ft rolling swing gate for the Frontline guardrail system - the way to put a controlled opening in a continuous guardrail without leaving an unprotected gap. A support wheel carries the free end so the 60 in gate opens and closes smoothly.
A built-in pin lock secures the gate to the opposing rail quickly and securely, and setup is hassle-free: slide it into a base fitting and tighten the grub screws. Powder coated safety green or yellow for visibility, built to the OSHA guardrail criteria of 1910 and 1926 - safe passage through the rail.

Passive protection, installed right. A guardrail only protects if every base, post, rail, and toe board is set per the Frontline manual on a suitable surface. Have a competent person verify the installed system before it is relied upon, and re-inspect after any impact.
Compliance Standards
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502
Guardrail system criteria for construction: 200 lb top-rail load, heights, and toe boards.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29
Walking-working surface guardrail requirements for general industry.
Engineered design
Components are engineered to meet the applicable OSHA guardrail load criteria per the spec sheet.
Typical Applications
How to Set Up the GUG55
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check bases, posts, rails, and fittings before each use.
- Plan the run. Lay out base/post positions per the manual maximum spacing for your edge.
- Set the bases. Place the non-penetrating bases (or clamp/anchor per the system) along the edge.
- Install posts and rails. Slide posts into the base fittings and seat top rails, mid rails, and toe boards.
- Secure. Tighten grub screws and connections per the manual.
- Verify. Have a competent person confirm the system before relying on it.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use and after any impact. Pull any component from service for the conditions below.
- Posts and bases: bending, cracks, corrosion, or coating breakdown.
- Clamping / counterweight: secure, no slipping under hand load.
- Rails and toe boards: secure seating in the fittings, no damage.
- Fasteners and grub screws: present, functional, tightened per the manual.
- Markings: labels must be present and legible.
Remove any component from service that fails inspection. After any impact or load event, inspect the full system before reuse. Guardrail is passive protection: a damaged system gives false confidence.
