Why choose this hinge
Big pin. A 25mm pin 45mm long, more than twice the diameter of the pin on our smallest hinges.
Long welds. A 220mm barrel, 45mm across, gives long weld runs onto heavy box section and beam posts.
Stated limit of 1000kg. The maker publishes a maximum weight limit of 1000kg for this size.
Lift-off. The gate lifts off the pin for repairs, with suitable lifting gear for a gate of this size.
Ready to weld. Bare steel, so there is no plating to grind off first.
Where it is used
Industrial yard and compound gates, container yard and depot gates, large security gates, farm and quarry gates and heavy steel doors.

Fitting
Use two hinges per gate or door, one near the top and one near the bottom; add a third on a tall door. Stand the gate in the opening on packers with an even gap at the hinge side. Put the two halves of each hinge together, pin end down, and hold the barrel in the corner between the gate stile and the post. Check all the hinges are in one vertical line, then tack the bottom halves to the post and the top halves to the gate. Weld each half to one side only, or the gate will not swing. Lift the gate off to check it moves freely, then weld out. A gate of this weight needs lifting gear, and welds sized for the load by a competent fabricator. Keep weld spatter out of the joint, and let it cool before you hang the gate.
Care
Paint the barrel with the gate, keeping paint out of the joint. There is no oiling point on this hinge, so lift the gate off once or twice a year and grease the pin.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one hinge?
Yes, one complete hinge in two halves. Most gates need two.
How much weight will it carry?
The maker states a maximum weight limit of 1000kg for this size. Weld quality and the steel you weld to decide what the finished hinge will hold, so have a competent fabricator size the job.
Can I bolt it on?
No. It is made to be welded. For a bolt-on fixing see our adjustable gate hinges with back plates.
Which way up does it go?
The half with the pin goes at the bottom, on the post. The top half drops over it.
Can the gate be lifted off?
Yes, it lifts straight off the pin. If it must not lift off, weld a small stop above the gate stile or choose the zinc plated hinge with the locking grease nipple.
Will it rust?
It is bare steel, so paint it with the gate after welding, keeping paint out of the joint.
