Miller Edge GB01 5' Gate Bumper Extrusion
The Miller Edge GB01 5' Gate Bumper Extrusion is a black Miller Edge gate bumper extrusion used where a flexible cushion is needed on a compatible gate frame. It is commonly used on the leading or trailing edge of a gate to help reduce hard contact between the gate edge and adjacent surfaces.
This is a bumper only, not an electrical safety edge. It does not contain a contact element, monitoring resistor, transmitter, receiver, or operator interface. On automated vehicular gates, the required monitored entrapment protection devices must be selected and wired separately according to the gate operator and current safety requirements.

Compatible With
- Swing gate and slide gate frame applications where a flexible bumper is needed on a compatible gate upright or edge surface.
- Leading-edge or trailing-edge cushioning applications on gate frames where the bumper profile can be mechanically fastened to the frame.
- Commonly associated with 2 in. gate frame upright applications when the gate has enough clearance for the bumper profile.
- Replacement work where the existing bumper profile is Miller Edge GB01, GB-0101, GB0101, or a matching gate bumper extrusion.
- Not compatible as a substitute for Miller Edge MG electric sensing edges, monitored gate edges, wireless edge systems, photo eyes, or operator safety inputs.

Technician Note
Before installing bumper extrusion, cycle the gate manually if possible and check clearance at posts, catch hardware, guide rollers, stop plates, and the fully open and fully closed positions. Added bumper thickness can create interference on tight slide-gate or swing-gate installations.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the gate has a suitable mounting surface for the bumper flange.
- Confirm the available clearance with the bumper installed.
- Confirm the required length is 1 ft or plan for cutting from bulk material.
- Confirm this is being ordered as a bumper, not as a sensing edge.
- Check whether the installation also requires monitored gate edges or photo eyes.
Professional Advisory
Do not rely on a bumper extrusion as the only protection on an automated gate. If the gate operator requires monitored safety inputs, use the correct monitored sensing edge, photo eye, or other approved entrapment protection device and have the system checked by a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions and Answers
Is GB01 a sensing edge?
No. GB01 is a gate bumper extrusion only. It provides a flexible cushion but does not send a stop or reverse signal to a gate operator.
Where is this gate bumper commonly installed?
It is commonly installed on a gate leading edge, trailing edge, or frame upright where a flexible bumper is needed and the gate has the correct mounting surface and clearance.
Will this fit every automatic gate?
No. The gate frame size, mounting surface, available clearance, and existing bumper profile must be checked. It is commonly associated with 2 in. gate frame upright applications but should still be verified on the actual gate.
Are mounting screws included with GB01?
Mounting screws are typically not included. Use fasteners appropriate for the gate frame material, jobsite exposure, and required hold strength.
Does a gate still need safety devices if this bumper is installed?
Yes. A bumper does not replace UL 325 entrapment protection. Required monitored edges, photo eyes, and operator safety inputs must remain installed and working on automated gates.
