the units’ sides. In addition, impact plates on posts have been added to minimize damage during lift truck loading. Series G gates also feature a heavy-duty chain and sprocket drive system with chain guards, a proprietary locking mechanism to lock the chain in place, and a rugged welded track system with rounded dull edges to create a smooth transition for the gates when in use. Wire mesh panels for gates or sides of the unit are available as an option.

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates uses a dual counterbalanced gate system that maintains a safe environment at all times and ensures OSHA and IBC compliance. The interconnected steel gate design creates controlled-access areas in order to meet new ANSI standard requirements for pallet drop areas. Rack-supported models can fit any brand of rack in any configuration and are available in multiple pallet widths and depths. Rack-supported models can also be used to secure the ledges of multiple deep pallet flow lanes.

The Series G gates are available in sin-gle- and double-wide pallet widths, and can be customized for large pallet loads or to accommodate specific pallet widths, depths, and heights. The gates are ideal for protecting pallet drop areas in doorways, the company says. All gates are available in powder-coat-ed mild steel or electro-polished stainless steel.
