Description
Getting vehicles in and out of a fenced site shouldn’t mean dismantling panels every time a lorry turns up. This 4.2m vehicle gate drops straight into your existing Heras run and gives you a wide, lockable opening that one person can swing back in seconds.
It’s supplied as a pair of 2.1m gates that meet in the middle, so you can open one side for a pedestrian or smaller load and both sides when something larger needs to go through. The mesh matches the anti-climb infill of standard Heras panels, meaning the gate doesn’t become the weak point in your perimeter when the rest of the fence is buttoned up.
The castor wheels are the part that site teams tend to appreciate most. They take the weight of the gate as it moves, so it glides rather than drags, and they cope well with the compacted, rutted ground you get on a live site. When the gate’s shut, the latch lines up to take a padlock, giving you a quick, visible lock-up at the end of the day.
Because it’s built from galvanised carbon steel, it shrugs off rain and won’t rust through over a typical time period or project span, making it a dependable choice whether you need a single panel or a large quantity across multiple sites.
Where It's Used
This gate suits anywhere temporary fencing needs to let traffic through without losing security. On construction and demolition sites, it handles tippers, vans and deliveries. Event and festival teams use it for vehicle access and emergency routes. Industrial yards, compounds, car parks and storage sites rely on it to keep a secure line while still moving plant, forklifts and cars in and out.
Built For Security
The anti-climb mesh has small apertures that are difficult to get a foothold or finger-hold in, which is the same reasoning behind the round-top Heras panels you’ll already be running. Combined with the galvanised steel frame and the lockable latch, the gate gives you a perimeter that holds up to scrutiny on sites where security and insurance both matter. As with any temporary fence line, it performs best when properly stabilised with feet and couplered to the adjacent panels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is the Gate Supplied New, and Does It Come as a Complete Pair?
Yes, it’s supplied as a complete, matched pair of gates that together form the full 4.2m opening. You receive both gate leaves with their wheels and latch already fitted.
Are Fencing Feet and Couplers Included, or Do I Buy Them Separately?
The gate itself is the product here. To hang it in a fence line, you’ll typically want a couple of base feet for stability and couplers (usually two per side) to fix it to the neighbouring panels. These are ordered separately, which keeps the cost down if you already have spares on site.
How Many People Do I Need to Handle and Install It?
At around 35kg per leaf, each gate is comfortably a two-person lift to position safely, though once it’s seated on its wheels and couplered up, a single person can open and close it without difficulty.
The Opening Is 4.2m — How Much Actual Driving Clearance Is There?
The 4.2m figure is the overall width of the closed pair. With both gates swung fully open, the clear drive-through is slightly narrower than that headline figure, so it suits the vast majority of vans, tippers, 7.5-tonne lorries and most rigid HGVs, but it’s worth checking the width of your widest expected vehicle if you’re running anything oversized.
Will It Fit Fencing I Already Own From a Different Supplier?
It’s designed around the standard Heras-style temporary fencing dimensions used across the UK, so it couples to the common round-top and square-mesh panel systems. If your existing stock is a non-standard or older profile, it’s worth confirming the connection points before ordering.
Is a Padlock Supplied With the Gate?
No, the latch is built to accept a standard padlock so you can use whatever lock meets your site’s security policy, but the padlock itself isn’t included.
Can It Be Left Set Up Long-Term, or Is It Only for Temporary Use?
The galvanised finish is built to live outdoors, so it’s fine for extended projects as well as short hires. For long-term installs, an occasional check of the wheel and latch for wear and grit will keep it swinging freely.
