Abstract
A foldable safety gate apparatus for use in relation to a hoist or lift, comprising: a main safety gate body, said main safety gate body comprising: a gate frame forming an opening; and a gate, wherein the gate frame holds said gate within the opening for preventing entry into a hoist car; a cantilever platform, said cantilever platform comprising: a supporting arm for securing to a slab; and two or more load points or securing the cantilever platform to the slab; wherein, when in a deployed state, the main safety gate body is substantially perpendicular to the cantilever platform, and, when in a collapsed state, the main safety gate body rests substantially parallel to the cantilever platform.

A foldable safety gate apparatus for use in relation to a hoist or lift, comprising:
- a main safety gate body, said main safety gate body comprising:
- a gate frame forming an opening;
- and
- a gate, wherein the gate frame holds said gate within the opening for preventing entry into a hoist car;
- a cantilever platform, said cantilever platform comprising:
- a supporting arm for securing to a slab;
- two or more load points for securing the cantilever platform to the slab;
- two side panels, wherein the two side panels are connected to the gate using hinges so that the two side panels can be folded flat in the collapsed state and when in the deployed state, and the two side panels are positioned substantially perpendicular to both the main safety gate body and the cantilever platform;
- and
- guard rails for further extending a barrier formed by the two side panels when in a deployed state and being stored in between the gate and the two side panels in the collapsed state,
- wherein, when in a deployed state, the main safety gate body is substantially perpendicular to the cantilever platform, and, when in a collapsed state, the main safety gate body rests substantially parallel to the cantilever platform.
