Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc. is an innovator in the design and manufacturing of safety products for mezzanine levels and elevated work platforms in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.

In business for over 30 years, we have been helping companies make their material handling operations safer by providing fall protection with our safety gates. Our proactive, dual-gate safety systems have been installed in hundreds of facilities in virtually every industry.

Custom Design Is Our Specialty

We know that no facility is the same, and that safety gates in standard sizes or configurations may not work for your requirements. If one of our existing models will not fit your application, we will design a solution that works. Our engineers love a challenge, and have been customizing specific solutions in a variety of applications for years.

For example, a customer recently approached Mezzanine Safeti-Gates
with an immediate need to provide a safe environment for workers
operating and transferring materials on loading dock scissor lifts. This
application was a step outside our traditional work securing ledges on
elevated work platforms and mezzanines, but our team worked to create a
solution that met both their needs and industry standards. A custom self-closing gate system was successfully
designed and installed to secure a number of loading dock areas.

A global chemical manufacturer approached the company to design safety gates to secure pallet drop areas on facility production platforms with limited height, depth and width. Working with a material handling distributor partner, engineers from Mezzanine Safeti-Gates designed custom Pivot Gates that attached directly to the existing guardrail to maximize width and used a fourteen pivot point system that maintained a permanent safe environment while taking up a minimum amount of depth on the platform. The gate system was designed to accommodate pallets that turned 360 degrees on a pallet turntable and could fit in the limited available height.

A wholesale beverage distributor contacted us to secure the pallet drop areas in a multi-level pick module. The customer didn’t want the gate to extend back into the picking aisle, which prevented use of our typical Rack Supported Roly or Pivot models, so we designed a Rack Supported dual-gate system with a custom rear-side gate that compacted into the rack-upright when opened to free-up the aisle space for the pickers on the platform.

If you have a unique material handling or manufacturing application that needs to be secure and meet industry regulations without impeding your operations, let us know – we can help. Challenge us!
