This starting gate model is quickly becoming popular among race clubs around the world with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Victoria Racing Club, Australian Turf Club (among many others) all using this model.
The revolutionary back gate design provides faster, safer and easier loading of the horses into the gates.
The Platinum Steriline starting gates have all the standard Steriline Features & Benefits and also exclusively include:
Spring lock back gate mechanism & safety release handle
Safer and easier loading of the horses into the stalls with progressive locking back gates, reducing injuries and incidents when loading the horses. The easy to use release handle allows expedited opening of the back gates in case of emergency.
Fully padded back gates
Improved protection for horse, jockey and handlers with the entire back gate padded with Steriline safety padding. This offers a level of protection when loading the horses, and from inside the stall, that has not been seen before.
Access Steps & Pull Up Handles
All Steriline starting gates provide easier and safer access into the stalls than ever before, reducing workplace safety risks for handlers.
Wider opening funnel style back gates
The back gates are designed to open wider than any other back gates on a starting gate. This design encourages horses to enter the stalls which:
Tapered entry platforms
More inviting entry into the stalls, keeping horses calmer and making the loading of the starting stalls easier, reducing scratchings at the starting gate.
With the gates the way they have actually designed them as a funnel effect, it is more inviting for a horse to go in.
I am more than happy with the performance of the gates and would recommend them.
