Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc., an innovator in the design and manufacturing of industrial safety products for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities, today announced the popular Pivot safety gate model is now available in a Rack Supported design. The Rack Supported Pivot safety gate secures pallet drop areas in rack-supported pick modules for picking positions and empty pallet or tote return bays.
The Rack Supported Pivot safety gate has few moving parts and includes a hydraulic damper for easy, ergonomic operation. The design attaches directly to the rack uprights in the module, which maximizes space in the bay and creates a secure connection that does not require anchoring the gate to the decking. The safety gates fit any manufacturer’s rack configuration, and come in standard single and double-wide sizes. The Rack Supported Pivot gate can also be custom designed to fit any pallet load size.
The dual-gate system keeps employees working on upper levels of pick modules safe. When the ledge-side gate is up, the rear-side gate blocks employees from the ledge. When the rear-side gate is raised so employees can pick from the pallets, the ledge-side gate is closed, making a barrier and protecting employees from falling from the ledge.
