Safety Gate Provides Multiple Pallet Deep Configuration

March 10, 2021
Mezzanine Safeti-Gates now offers a deep pallet configuration for its rack supported safety gate, preventing jams when lanes are full.

The Rack Supported Roly safety gate, configured for multiple pallets deep, is a dual-gate system that attaches directly to the rack uprights in rack systems or pick modules. Attaching to rack uprights maximizes space in the area and creates a secure connection without having to anchor the gate into the decking. The gate can be designed to match the depth of the pallet flow lane to capture multiple pallets.

 

The extra-deep dual-gate system prevents pallets from holding the gates open when the lane is full and creates a completely enclosed workstation while providing fall protection for the workers in picking positions and around the empty pallet or tote return bays.

 

Dual, counterbalanced gates secure the ledge and keep employees out of the flow lanes while the lane is being replenished with pallets. When the ledge-side gate is open, allowing the material to be delivered to the pallet drop area, the rear-side gate is closed, protecting the worker from falling off the ledge. When the rear-side gate is raised to gain access to the pallets, the ledge-side gate closes and compacts into the rack bay, maintaining a safe environment during all stages of the operation. If the rack does not extend above the decking on the top level of the pick module or if it’s located on a work platform, the gate can be designed in a free-standing model.

 

In addition to the Rack Supported Roly in a multiple pallet deep configuration, most of the safety gates from the company are offered in rack supported or free-standing configurations. The dual-gate design ensures OSHA, IBC, and ANSI fall protection compliance. The safety gates fit any manufacturer’s rack configuration and are available in powder-coated mild steel.
